Re: [Boost-users] boost::thread state check

I don't think you can do that with the thread lib. If you need to wait
until a thread is finished you can use the join().

You can of course keep the state somewhere else. Like:

enum teThreadState
{
  BLOCKED = 0,
  RUNNING,
  ...
}

teThreadState eState;

void run() throw()
{
  scoped_lock lock(mutex);
  
  eState = RUNNING;
  doSomething();

  eState = BLOCKED;

  while( condition )
    cond.wait( lock );

  eState = RUNNING;
}
