comp.programming.threads is the place to ask.

Nine times out of ten wanting (I assume that's what "wanna" means) to
kill a thread is a design smell.

Two options:

a) place the other thread in a separate process.
b) don't kill the other thread but instrument the code to have a "get
out quick" flag.

Other than those there are some pthread specific things but I would
steer away from them.
