Cannot you? From reading the posix thread documentation I have an
impression that you can.
See for instance
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_join.html
It says:
> The pthread_join() or pthread_detach() function should eventually be
called for every thread that is created with the detachstate attribute
set to PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE so that storage associated with the
thread may be reclaimed.
Moreover, there is also a thread return status PTHREAD_CANCELED that is
returned by pthread_join when the thread exits due to pthread_cancel
request. See the paragraph "Thread Cancellation Cleanup Handlers" at
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/xsh_chap02_09.html
