Parameters

function	the entry point of the thread
parameter	a parameter that is passed to the threads start function
autodestroy	the thread is automatically destroyed if the ThreadExecutionFunction has finished.

void Thread_destroy ( Thread thread )

Destroy a Thread and free all related resources.
