Should I use terminatethread in this situation?

Hi,

This loop runs indefinitely on a separate std::thread unless I set listening to true. The problem is, I can't terminate the loop if the user decides to shutdown the server because accept blocks the thread until a connection is established. Is there a better approach than to use TerminateThread?

while (_this->listening)
{
    SOCKET client;
    sockaddr_in from;
    int fromlen = sizeof(from);

    client = accept(*server_socket, (sockaddr*)&from, &fromlen);
    printf("Client connected\r\n");

}

What I have tried:
