exit()? Or return from the main function?

Just like in VB6, it is an awful practice to terminate programs this way. Don't go down this path. A program naturally ends when all of the threads end. If you are talking about MS Windows, you can post or send a WM_CLOSE message to the main window; the window procedure should process this (explicitly or via the default procedure) and call PostQuitMessage(). That should break the message pump loop and exit the program.
