pthread 立即停止线程,如何停止正在运行的pthread线程？

How can I exit or stop a thread immediately?

How can I make it stop immediately when the user enters an answer?

I want it to reset for every question.

Here's my code where threading is involved

int q1() {

int timer_start;

char ans[] = "lol";

char user_ans[50];

timer_start = pthread_create( &xtimer,NULL,(void*)timer_func,(void*)NULL);

printf("What is the capital city of Peru?\n");

while(limit){

scanf("%s",user_ans);

if(limit)

{

if(!strcmp(user_ans, ans))

{

// printf("YAY!\n");

score++;

// q2();

}

else

{

game_over();

}

}

}

}

You can simply call pthread_cancel on that thread to exit it. And you can send SIGSTOP/SIGCONT signal via pthread_kill to stop/restart it.

But if all you want is a timer, why must you thread?
