Platform: win32


Q.  How can I tell if a thread has stopped?

A.  If you have the thread's handle you can do this:

BOOL IsThreadActive(const HANDLE hThread)
{
	DWORD dwCode = 0;
	(void) ::GetExitCodeThread(hThread, &dwCode);
	return (dwCode == STILL_ACTIVE);
	// STILL_ACTIVE is 259 so the thread
	// had better not use that as an exit code!
}
