[osg-users] OpenThreads won't stop on Windows...

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Shayne,

The thread won't exit at any random point, it'll exit when it checks
whether the thread is cancelled or not.  Have a look at the way
testCancel() and co-operatively which against a done flag are done in
the OSG, such as src/osg/OperationThread.cpp.

Is there something else I need to do to stop the thread and shut it down? I have a stopThread() method that breaks out of my loop in the run() method, however, the thread is sometimes paused in execution inside the loop when I go to shut it down. I need to stop the thread unconditionally when I go to exit. I thought cancel() would do it but it doesn't work.
