Hello Oblivion, Thanks for your help.

In my actual code I'm doing this :

CV2DServer* serverPtr;

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	StdLogSetup(LOG_COUT | LOG_FILE | LOG_TIMESTAMP);
	CV2DServer server(LISTENING_PORT, TICK_RATE);
	serverPtr = &server;
	std::signal(SIGINT,static_cast<__p_sig_fn_t>([](int s)->void{serverPtr->StopServer();}));
	server.StartServer();
}

It is a bit different from your approch but I guess it is partially equal.
The probleme is, in my StartServer which is equal to this :

void CV2DServer::StartServer(){
	serverThread.Start(THISBACK(ServerRoutine));
	Upp::String command;
	LOG("Command line interface ready");
	while(command != "exit" && !secureStop){
		command	= ToLower(ReadStdIn());
		Cout() << ProcessCommandLine(command);
	}
	server.Close();
	client.Close();
	serverThread.ShutdownThreads();
	serverThread.Wait();
}

The ReadStdIn() block my code until I write something in console. It mean, even if I raise a SIGINT event, my code will catch it, turn the boolean secureStop to true but wont stop until I write something in console. This is problematique, that's why I'm looking for a way to stop the ReadStdIn().

I will try the way you do it after work and will update this post. But I'm pretty sure result will be the same
