Is there a way > to kill a thread from another thread directly? You would have to write some implementation-specific code. If you know that the underlying implementation is pthreads, you could get the thread id of the thread you want to cancel and call pthread_cancel() on it, after calling pthread_cleanup_push() or pthread_cleanup_pop() as necessary to ensure the cancelled thread cleans up its resources (such as memory allocated on the heap). I believe Windows has a similar call, but I do not know its name, nor whether it chooses a similar set of cancellation points.
