Under the current NPTL implementation, can the cancelation exception
be caught by name (and then rethrown)? If not, are there problems
(technical or otherwise) with giving it a name so it can be caught?


The latest state I know of for this question is here:

Thanks!
We are currently discussing, on the c++std-ext reflector, the possible approaches for a C++ cancelation/retirement/interruption mechanism. So I was trying to decide whether imposing a requirement that the cancel exception has a C++ type by which it can be caught is workable and reasonable. It seems to be both.
