Hello,

I think there is an error in the description

        is equivalent to (but shorter and more efficient than):

            int oldtype;

            pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg);
            pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype);
            ...
            pthread_setcanceltype(oldtype, NULL);
            pthread_cleanup_pop(execute);

this should be instead

            pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype);

I am doubtful of this, but, can you provide some evidence to support your claim?

ok, I looked at the pthread.h of glibc and this seems to be not a man page problem, but a glibc bug/feature.

I thought that the pthread_cleanup_push_defer() solves the problem highlighted in this example:

http://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/manual/pthread_cleanup_push.html

I will address this on a glibc list.  Sorry for the noise.
