What does boost::thread do if it fails to create the thread?
The winAPI returns a NULL (I guess posix does something similar) but as thread is an object how do I test to see if the thread was created?

According to the API, it throws a
boost::thread_resource_errorif the thread creation fails.I guess you cannot create an invalid
boost::threadobject: if something goes wrong, the constructor throws thus preventing the object creation.
