GB361 32.04.3 Rename jthread #357

Closed wg21bot closed 4 years ago

wg21bot commented 4 years ago

Rename jthread The name jthread, while concise, is cryptic. By expanding the j, the 'smart-thread' type will be in sync with its smart-pointer cousins.

Proposed change: Consider expanding jthread into a name that more directly represents its intention. Examples include, but are not limited to: joining_thread join_thread

Recommend LEWG consider renaming jthread in response to GB361, noting that of 25 voting the following names (of those in the minutes) are disliked by... joining_thread 1 jthread 8 join_thread 10 auto_joining_thread 12 SF F N A SA 3 14 3 3 0 Consensus for change A: regular threads also join, it doesn't convey the right meaning
