Before, if the thread exited but was not yet joined, we returned ESRCH. According to IEEE Std 1003.1™-2017 recommendation in the description of pthread_cancel(3): If an implementation detects use of a thread ID after the end of its lifetime, it is recommended that the function should fail and report an [ESRCH] error. So it seems desirable to not return ESRCH until the lifetime of the thread ID ends. According to the section 2.9.2 Thread IDs, The lifetime of a thread ID ends after the thread terminates if it was created with the detachstate attribute set to PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or if pthread_detach() or pthread_join() has been called for that thread. In other words, lifetime for thread ID of exited but not yet joined thread did not ended yet. Prompted by: cperciva Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation MFC after: 1 week END
