Change 16111
- Threads can now optionally catch exceptions to be rethrown on another thread when it calls Join().
The exception state of a thread can also be queried via HasException() - if this returns true, the thread exited due to an uncaught exception that will be rethrown on Join().
- The behavior of the thread destructor can now be manipulated via SetDestructionBehavior(). By default, a thread whose destructor is called without Join() being called on it will call std::terminate(). But that behavior can be changed such that the destructor can either call Join() automatically, or detach the thread, if it destructs without Join() being called. (If it calls Join() on a thread that caught an exception, the exception will NOT be rethrown, it will be lost to the aether. Throwing exceptions in a destructor is bad, but I'm on the fence whether this should just throw those exceptions away or call std::terminate() in that case. Open for input.)
