pthread 简要使用指南（四） Cancellation Points

PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED情形下，pthread_cancel()给目标线程设置一个取消标志。目标线程在运行中的某些地方会查看自己是否存在取消请求，

如果有，就立刻终止执行后继代码并退出。这些查看是否存在取消请求的地方，称之为取消点(Cancelation-point)。
    关于存在取消点的系统函数，suse linux上面的开发者指南如是说：
Cancellation Points
    POSIX.1  specifies  that certain functions must, and certain other functions may, be cancellation points.  If a thread is

cancelable, its cancelability type is deferred, and a cancellation
    request is pending for the thread, then the thread is canceled when it calls a function that is a cancellation point.

    The following functions are required to be cancellation points by POSIX.1-2001 and/or POSIX.1-2008:

           accept()
           aio_suspend()
           clock_nanosleep()
           close()

       An implementation may also mark other functions not specified in the standard as cancellation points.  In particular, an

implementation is likely to mark any non-standard function that may

       block as a cancellation point.  (This includes most functions that can touch files.)
