Hello, I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction here.
I have a program with two (p)threads; one thread running the gtk_main() event loop, and the other thread periodically updating the display in a gdk_threads_enter() / gdk_threads_leave() block. When the user presses a key in the event loop thread, the second thread should die. However this opens up the possibility of deadlock: thread 1: ---> pthread_cancel(thread 2) ---> pthread_join(thread 2) thread 2: -----------------> gdk_threads_enter() ------------> deadlock I can avoid this deadlock when I set the cancel type of the second thread to PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS, thereby forcing cancellation of the second thread immediately. But somehow that doesn't seem wise. Can somebody please advise? Thanks. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
