Has that always been the case? I remember having to inject
thread_joinAll() calls at the ends of the main()s of a couple
of examples because of having trouble otherwise.
Can I safely remove thread_joinAll()s if they are the last
lines in main()?
It has always been the case. In fact, I have a comment in the
body of Thread.start() explaining this potential race and
explaining the need for certain operations in that function. So
if there is a race, it isn't meant to be here and should be
fixed. I also just filed:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13672 so some attention
needs to be paid to this function anyway.
