I also read the manual page for pthread_cancel and even when using pthread_canceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_AYNCHRONOUS) "The thread can be canceled at any time. (Typically, it will be canceled immediately upon receiving a cancellation request, but the system doesn't guarantee this.)".
This also depends on the operating system. Some systems will never asynchronously cancel a thread, and will only do so at cancellation points (= places where pthread_testcancel gets called). This is perfectly valid according to the standard.
