OK, that's enough proof. This definitely needs to be fixed. If it can't be done cleanly before the release, then we can still comment out the destructors again for a *very* short period. This is a crude hack that mustn't prevail for years again. Less offensive (while still bad) would be to only comment out the triggering ASSERT. But, of course, we need that properly fixed. The link that Jean-Yves posted implies that one shouldn't use pthread_cancel() at all, but rather the author's own thread lib. I don't fully buy that. I looked into the sources of the Qt lib, and they *do* use pthread_cancel() (on all Unices). (There's a warning in the code, but not related to our problem.) Qt only recommends to wait after the cancel until the thread is really finished, before continuing. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
