windows - c - interrupt a function call which is executing in a thread -

I have a DLL that has a thread function that looks like pseudocode:

  Unstable BOOL prevented = false; Zero StopEverything () {/ * Enter important section / prevented = TRUE; / * Skip important section * /} zero worker threadfun () {start (); / * Checkpoint 1 * / if (paused) {/ * Clean / return; } DoLaboriousTask1 (); / * Checkpoint 2 * / if (paused) {/ * Clean / return; } DoLaboriousTask2 (); Uninitialize (); }   
 And in the code that uses this DLL, the cleaning function looks like this:  
  zero cleanup () {StopEverything (); / * Wait for all threads to exit * / / * clean other * /}   
 My question is two times:  
 
 Is there a better How do I stop my  workerThreadFunc ()  execution instead of checking on different checkpoints?  
 Suppose  workerThreadFunc ()  inside   doLaboriousTask2)  when the main application call  StopEverything () .  Interrupt   doLaboriousTask2 ()  and how to get it out immediately?   
 Thank you!    
 
 
 
 Doing my workforce instead of checking on threadfunk () Is there a better way to stop?   
 Probably no unmanaged code has no completely reliable way of stopping a thread in a pre-blank manner. Some prepares to do that which leads to and the document lists all kinds of serious consequences to use that function. For example:  
 
 
 If the target thread is the owner of an important segment, the important segment will not be released.  
 If target is allocating memory from thread map  
 If the target thread is executing some kernel 32 calls when it is terminated, then kernel 32 for the thread process The situation may be incompatible.  
 If the target thread is manipulating the global status of a shared DLL, the DLL's position may be lost, the DLL may affect other users.    
 You ask:  
 
 Is there any way to interrupt WBI's Task 2 () and get it out immediately?   
 OK, you can call  TerminateThread , but for all the reasons mentioned in the document, you should almost certainly not do this.
