Re: POSIX threads - pthread_cancel

It has been my experience that none of the man page's cancellation points work. It quite irritated me, I now have to pepper my code with testcancel()s.

Hi Mukeh,

I had a read of the pthread docs.

In your first program the thread should die at one of the cancellation points. According to the docs this includes nanosleep().

You have the 'testcancel()' function in there but instantly passed through it before the request to cancel is made the main() thread.

If you move the testcancel() into your wait loop the child thread cancels nicely.

So, it seems that in OSX nanosleep() for some reason is not being counted as a cancellation point - contrary to the man page documentation. :-(

Regards,

aid
