Hi, I wrote a mail some time ago, but nobody answered me :(
My problem is that I had two threads. The second one was a pthread. I
performed and exit from a callback, so I had to pthread_cancel the secondary
thread to avoid a race condition and an eventual app crash.
Now, I'm using GThreads. I
when it was
created with pthread instead of g_thread?

Wrong, the main thread is not
And how to kill the gthread if there is not something like pthread_cancel?

Tell the thread it has to exit
o through a variable mutex/condition
o through any form of ipc (maybe simply a pipe())
call g_thread_join() from the main
