std::thread::~thread

~thread();

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

#include <thread>
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
 
int main()
{
    auto bleah = std::thread{[]{ std::this_thread::sleep_for(13ms); }};
 
}   // ~thread calls std::terminate()

terminate called without an active exception
