Okay, let me explain it a bit better
Here is the part we are interested in
"libpthread/sysdeps/mach/pt-thread-terminate.c"
/* Terminate and release all that's left. */
err = __thread_terminate_release (kernel_thread, mach_task_self (),
kernel_thread, reply_port,
stackaddr, stacksize);
/* The kernel does not support it yet. Leak but at least terminate
correctly. */
err = __thread_terminate (kernel_thread);
The comment "The kernel does not support it yet." is misleading.
It wants to say that __thread_terminate_release is not yet supported
so __thread_terminate can be used instead, to at least terminate it
correctly, even though we will have leaks.
That's why Samuel told me here
