What join()ing a thread actually means is that you'll block, doing nothing, until the thread naturally ends :) What you had in mind was more along pthread_cancel()... Note however, an important quote from the pthread_cancel(3) manual: "the target thread can then either ignore the request, honor it immediately, or defer it till it reaches a cancellation point." :) -- Nadav Har'El | Friday, Mar 15 2002, 2 Nisan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |A good programmer is someone who looks http://nadav.harel.org.il |both ways before crossing a one-way street. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
