C++ vs. pthread_cancel

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi all,

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.

Kind regards,

Peter Zijlstra
