title: How to kill a Thread with Objective C?
body: <p>I have a call to a third-party C++ library which I have put into its own thread (currently using NSThread). I would like to give the user the ability to stop the execution of that thread. (I am well aware of all the problems this might cause, but I still wish to do so.) </p>
  
  <p>According to <a href="http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Multithreading/CreatingThreads/CreatingThreads.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apple's Thread Programming Guide</a>, there are possibilities in Cocoa to do so. Is this true for the iPhone, too, or do I have to rely on Posix threads to accomplish my goal?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
