This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com 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/). 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 (I read the man page and searched the developer documentation, but they all seem to be out of date: none of them includes the _APPLE_C_SOURCE define that was mentioned in an earlier thread on this subject; can I assume that it makes all Posix mandated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...)
