- The pthread_cancel functionality in glibc has cancellation points at blocking system calls, which is essential to me and I imagine to many people. But it doesn't throw catchable exceptions, which some people would like (but I don't need).
For what it's worth, both of the following will break previously exception-safe code: * The introduction of unwinding to (system) calls that are currently specified to be nonthrowing (e.g. fopen). * The introduction of an uncatchable exception. Just something to keep in mind. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
