bugprone-bad-signal-to-kill-thread¶

Finds pthread_kill function calls when a thread is terminated by raising SIGTERM signal and the signal kills the entire process, not just the individual thread. Use any signal except SIGTERM.

pthread_kill(thread, SIGTERM);

This check corresponds to the CERT C Coding Standard rulePOS44-C. Do not use signals to terminate threads.
