STD::Thread - Exiting Application Properly with stopped threads and aborting threads...

[ckoeber]

Hello,

I have an application which uses std::threads and for the most part the threads work fine.

One of my threads is a "loading" thread for content and after it is finished my application no longer has use for it.

However, even though that thread is no longer being used I still get the following error message (also linked as a picture.

  R6010
  - abort() has been called

How do I handle std::threads that finished processing and how do I properly abort them if a user decides to end the application?

Thank you.

You join those threads:

Thank you, I initially thought you joined a thread only when it was running.
