SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
bool al_get_thread_should_stop(ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread)
    

DESCRIPTION

Check if another thread is waiting for thread to stop. Threads which run in a loop should check this periodically and act on it when convenient.

Returns true if another thread has called al_join_thread(3alleg5) or al_set_thread_should_stop(3alleg5) on this thread.

SEE ALSO

al_join_thread(3alleg5), al_set_thread_should_stop(3alleg5).

Note: We don’t support forceful killing of threads.
