Hi All,
I was looking at boost::thread impl. On Windows(i.e with
BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS defined) the destructor calls
CloseHandle(reinterpret_cast<HANDLE>(m_thread));. I was trying to
figure out why it does not instead call endthread. End thread
terminates the thread and calls CloseHandle() also. What could be
possible repercussions of calling CloseHandle without calling
endthread?

Thanks and Regards
