std::thread::~thread(3)

💖 NAME 💖

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

okay bestie, this is the std::thread::~thread page from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and we are officially in destructor territory 💅✨

✨ Synopsis ✨

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

Destroys the thread object. That’s the job. That’s the whole vibe. 🎀

⚠️ If *this has an associated thread (joinable() == true), std::terminate() is called. Like… not a drill, bestie. 😭💀

🦋 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.

so like, those are the green flags for destroying it safely 🫶✨

🌸 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

• destructor — if the thread is joinable, then a stop is requested and the thread joins (public member function of std::jthread) 💜

k bye bestie, source/version is http://cppreference.com, dated 2024.06.10 — stay joined or get terminated, iykyk 🌈💅🫶
