NAME¶

std::thread::~thread - std::thread::~thread

Synopsis¶

~thread(); (since C++11)

Destroys the thread object.

If *this has an associated thread (joinable() == true), std::terminate() is called.

Notes¶

A thread object does not have an associated thread (and is safe to destroy) after

* it was default-constructed.
* it was moved from.
* join() has been called.
* detach() has been called.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <thread>
using namespace std::chrono_literals;

int main()
{
auto bleah = std::thread{[]{ std::this_thread::sleep_for(13ms); }};

} // ~thread calls std::terminate()

Possible output:¶

terminate called without an active exception
