std::thread::joinable
std::thread::joinable
| bool joinable() const; | | (since C++11) |
|---|
Checks if the thread object identifies an active thread of execution. Specifically, returns true if get_id() != std::thread::id(). So a default constructed thread is not joinable.
A thread that has finished executing code, but has not yet been joined is still considered an active thread of execution and is therefore joinable.
Parameters
(none).
Return value
true if the thread object identifies an active thread of execution, false otherwise.
Exceptions
noexcept specification:

Example
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
void foo()
{
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1)
}
int main()
{
std::thread t;
std::cout << "before starting, joinable: " << t.joinable() << '\n';
t = std::thread(foo
std::cout << "after starting, joinable: " << t.joinable() << '\n';
t.join(
std::cout << "after joining, joinable: " << t.joinable() << '\n';
}
Output:
before starting, joinable: 0
after starting, joinable: 1
after joining, joinable: 0
