For what you're describing, is it sufficient to just do something like
(assuming you're in a member function of a class that contains a Server
pointer named server_)
std::thread t([this]{server_->Shutdown();});
... other stuff ...
t.join(); // when ready to finish work
That way you can initiate the Shutdown in a non-blocking fashion without
waiting for its outcome. Keep in mind that Shutdown doesn't actually
guarantee that no new work gets through, it just means that the application
cannot expect to start new work and have it complete.
