On this controversial subject, could somebody please - pretty please
with a cherry on top - tell me what the current status is:
- in general,
- as implemented in the 3.4 series and
- as implemented in the 4.0 series.
At work we're using 3.4 and we have managed to shoot our foot of with
this issue :-(, google gives a lot of hits on the issue but it is a bit
hard to get the current impl. status for 3.4. Which in turn makes it
hard to decide on how to bandage our foot.
Could you provide a link to a description of the particular
problem? I looked around, and all I could find was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111548
I suppose the controversial part is that you're using
pthread_cancel, which is somewhat frowned upon as
inherently unsafe.
