I am not a kernel developer, but there's my understanding of the
situation.
In Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), the only automatic cancellation points
available are on pthread_cond_wait, pthread_cond_timedwait,
pthread_join, exit and of course when using pthread_testcancel.
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/multithreadedprogramming.html has
some more details.
In Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), all mandatory cancellation points in UNIX
'03 should be available since Apple plans on submitting Leopard for
UNIX '03 certification (http://developer.apple.com/leopard/overview/).

Hallo,
is there any documentation on the current status of pthreads
cancellation?
(I read the man page and searched the developer documentation, but
they all
seem to be out of date: none of them includes the _APPLE_C_SOURCE
define that
was mentioned in an earlier thread on this subject; can I assume
that it makes
all Posix mandated cancellation points work? I tested with poll(),
and that
was ok; it would however be nice to have a "more complete" man
page...)
