I posted a query to this mailing list last week asking about any
implementations of pthread_cancel. All I got was a single response from
a gentleman in Germany, but his work was old (based on v1.5) and he said
it would take him some time to find the archived sources.
My need is fairly urgent, so I began working on it this weekend. I've
got the basic implementation of synchronous cancels in and I'm debugging
it now. I still need to learn a lot more about the internals before I
can get asynchronous cancels to work safely.
Does anyone know the fd locking code well? I would like to talk with
you to ensure I understand how it works.
Thanks for responding.
