Luca Olivetti wroteI use that only for threads I start at the beginning of the app and terminate at the end, so polling isn't a big issue.
Those kind of threads are not a big they are running during the whole application's lifetime, race conditions with concurrently running code are about as improbable as the universe collapsing right now.
It's not strictly necessary since the OS will clean up everything afterwards, but I prefer to do things properly.
And not call pthread_cancel() like the C++ class you given as example and stop threads in the middle of their work? ;)
They don't even bother and create all threads in detached state, so you can not pthread_join() and get an exitcode from them.

I can (FFinished is a private member defined by me, and Destroy, being a
method of the same class, can access private members).
Yes, my mistake. I misinterpreted the lines.
Vinzent.
