It's not standardised to do this. It appears that some implementations do and some don't.

pthread_cancel() really should be avoided, if you can; it doesn't actually stop the thread until it hits a cancellation point, which is usually any other pthread_* call. In particular, on lots of platforms a cancel won't interrupt a blocking read.
