[pthread] cancellable sleep in win32?

[cyberfish]

Hi,
Is there a pthread-cancellable sleep function in win32 like sleep() and usleep() on Linux? The Sleep() in Windows API is apparently not cancellable. I am using pthreads-win32 (http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/) and it doesn't seem to define any "sleep" function. I want my program to be cross-platform (developing it under Linux), but don't mind a bit of conditional compilation.

Thank you very much

Look up SleepEx() in the win32 API. That will probably give you a starting point for what you seek.

Thank you for your suggestion

I looked up SleepEx() on MSDN (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686307.aspx). According to that page, it is stated that one of the conditions that will make the function return is "An asynchronous procedure call (APC) is queued to the thread," which, I assume, is what I am looking for. However, as I am using pthread and not win32 native threads, does it work in this case? (I currently do not have access to a Windows machine to test it out)

Your help is much appreciated.
