I've got some Linux pthread code that goes something like this that I'm
porting to FreeBSD:
------
pthread_t tid;
tid = -1;
/* Do stuff including maybe creating a thread. */
if (tid != -1) {
pthread_cancel(tid);
pthread_join(tid, NULL);
}
------
Since FreeBSD uses pointers instead of integers for pthread_t's, this
generates warnings which go away if you replace -1 with NULL, but
it seems like that is likely to do bad things on linux. Is there a
portable NULL-equivalent pthread_t? I'm not seeing anything jump out at
me in the headers.
