Description Sam Lantinga 2006-04-27 06:00:46 UTC 
In many operating systems and circumstances it's not safe to kill off a thread.  We should remove this function from the API.

For discussion: Should we provide an API for thread cancellation points?

Patch to gut SDL_KillThread().


This patch makes SDL_KillThread() a no-op, removes it from all the platform backends, and updates the comments in SDL_thread.h.
