See for instance http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_join.html It says: > The pthread_join() or pthread_detach() function should eventually be called for every thread that is created with the detachstate attribute set to PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE so that storage associated with the thread may be reclaimed. Moreover, there is also a thread return status PTHREAD_CANCELED that is returned by pthread_join when the thread exits due to pthread_cancel request.
