Re: Is there an easier way to cancel threads???

[Daniel Quintela <dq@...>]

I'm sorry...  :-(  I only wanted to point you about the availability of 
pthreads with real cancellation on Windows.

Is Windows capable to cancel threads? : no.
Did somebody make a workaround for that?: yes, pthreads-win32+QueueUserAPCEx

Regards,
Daniel
