[Boost-users] empty a thread_group

[Axel]

Hello

I m using a boost::thread_group instance to handle a limited number of
threads. When the thread_group reach a defined size, I cal join_all() on
it and I wonder how I could clear it without having to keep a pointer to
its threads and call remove_thread() for each one. I thought about
destruct th thread_group instance but I m not sure it's a good idea, so
any advice is welcome.

Regards
Axel

You're right that there is not currently a way to do this, other than keep
track of all the threads in the thread group separately, and then remove
them. It might be worth extending thread_group to handle this.
