Do you mean exiting "foo" or exiting "bar"? From the rest of the mail I
got the impression you're thinking that the thread will exit when "foo" is
exited. That is not true. The thread will stop running (not exit!) as
soon as "bar" is done. An exit() in any thread will exit the entire
process, taking all other threads with it.
Hope I fixed a potential misconception here....
