How to terminate a thread in vc++
Posted on 2008-10-04
Hello,
I have a thread and in this thread I have a while. it looks something like this:
DWORD WINAPI Thread(void* lpvParam)
{
while (!Terminated)
{
// Do something
}
}
The Terminated flag will be modified from another thread. My question is that should I use Critical_Section to protect the Terminated flag?
Thank you

Since you access this variable for writing only from 1 thread (if I understand your code well) you don't need to use critical section. The worst situation that might occur is that 1 more iteration is performed after the Terminated flag is set.
