Abandon()

template<class ThreadsPool, class Job>

void Utils::WorkerThread< ThreadsPool, Job >::Abandon ( )

inline

Forget a thread that does not exist any more.

Used in a child process after fork(), where the parent's threads are gone: the handle is neither joined nor detached, and is leaked because destroying a joinable std::thread terminates the process.

void Utils::WorkerThread< ThreadsPool, Job >::Join ( )

inline

Join the thread.

Joins the thread if it is joinable, waiting for it to finish.
