Thanks for the suggestion, it is REALLY a good suggestion, however, the
real world is not that idea,
we are in a situation that it has to work, we can not depend on all
developers and third party code
to be all nice.

Re: Question on
pthread_cancel/pthread_exit and
thread stack unwind
Hi Yufeng,
Refrain from using pthread_cancel and pthread_exit. Those are Big Hammers
and Sharp Knives.
Instead, set a variable that is monitored by the thread and set by the
owner-thread / main thread which signals the child thread to terminate
gracefully.
Mutex / condvar yada yada yada like normal apply.
HTH,
