Is a boost::thread automatically removed from a boost::thread_group when it terminates?

No, I misinterpreted the results of my test by not abstracting away the task scheduler that creates threads for me. In short, I was checking size() on the wrong boost::thread_group .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
