Google pthread_exit_e.

I know about DEC pthread_exit_e, my question was more about g++/glibc/NPTL's
implementation and how the people involved feel. DEC's exception doesn't
have a C++ name, by the way,

"C++ doesn't have a name for those "foreign" exceptions. (Of course destructors work fine.) We've worked with the compiler group to add some builtin exception subclasses to deal with that, but we never found the time to finish hooking up all the bits."
Alexander; perhaps the most telling part of the article you quote here is that I wrote it 6 years ago tomorrow; and we still don't have a standard for integration of threads and C++, and with Tru64 UNIX reduced to irrelevance I don't think there's any current commercial UNIX that's even tried to do it right. I feel like everything that can be said has circulated more than just a few times before, with little effect. Kinda frustrating, really.

   std::thread_termination_request (base for cancel and exit)
   std::thread_cancel_exception
   std::thread_exit_exception<T>
   std::thread_longjmp_exception
Yes, absolutely; the parenthesized bit being the most important part... a common base class for cancel and exit.
