gnutls functions were never designed as pthread cancellation points. I have not thought that much, but I believe your main concern is memory leaks right? It may be that if you deallocate the session in another thread it may just work; though you may have to create a stress test for that to verify that this is possible. > question two: > if i have registered the pull/pull_timeout/push funciton with > pthread_cleanup_push/pthread_cleanup_pop, > can i cancel the child process? I assume that you are describing threads (you can always terminate a process). The answer is as above. regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Gnutls-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-help
