Subj : killing thread To : comp.programming.threads From : Vitale Ferruccio Date : Wed Aug 10 2005 12:12 pm Hi all, I've two threads: the former blocked in an sleep(seconds) and the latter which have to kill the former. Even if I call pthread_cancel or deliver a SIGTERM signal with pthread_kill, the former thread continues to run and it exits only after timer expires. Any ideas?
