Re: [Ccrtp-devel] join function for Thread (OST)

[David Sugar]

join simply waits (blocks) until a thread exits or is canceled. 
Normally you do not have to call join in your application at all; if you 
 delete a Thread derived object, if it's derived ~destructor invokes 
terminate(), then during the delete, the target thread will be both 
canceled and joined for you automatically.  Usually it is best to put 
terminate() first in the derived destructor, and any other cleanup code 
after that.  The cleanup code will then execute in the context of the 
thread that is initiating the delete, and will happen after the target 
thread has stopped executing so there is no risk of a resource still in 
use by the target thread.
