SAL Thread Issues:
- Missing pendant to "pthread_exit" / "ExitThread" and therefore also missing clean-up handlers etc.
- Less capable cancellation mechanism compared to "pthread_cancel"
- Different semantic of UNIX and Win32 implementations
- Problematic "pthread_detach" in UNIX usage, likely leading to races if trying to join a thread.
- Problematic "CloseHandle" in Win32 usage, only easily possible to create "detached" (daemon) threads if calling "osl_destroyThread" from within the new thread.
- Result setting function.
RFE:
- Reliable thread cancellation mechanism ...
