Thank you.
But I am still surprised that the new thread can not be stopped
correctly.
cout may be a cancellation point or not.
Theoritically, if cout is not a cancellation point, the new thread will
continue to run when the main thread call pthread_cancel(); if it is
cancellation point, the new thread will be stopped.
But as a matter of fact, the new thread does not run and is not
stopped. In linux, the new thread will be a zombie.
What I want to know is why.
