Good point.

5. Any C code contains a cancellation point if it calls functions from
1-4 which contains a cancellation point.
6. Any C code which sets the thread cancellation state to enabled and
calls pthread_testcancel() to create a cancellation point.

I think that's all the conditions?

Cheers,
Carlos.
