Hi,
I've been seeing a problem on the Debian X32 build system where unittest
process just hangs, and require manual intervention by the poor
maintainer to kill the process manually before the build fails due to
inactivity.
Haven't yet managed to reduce the problem (it only happens on a native
X32 system, but not when running X32 under native x86_64), but thought
it would be a good idea to suggest that any thread related tests should
be safely handled by self terminating after a period of waiting.
Thoughts from the phobos maintainers?
This could probably be implemented quite simply in druntime.
I'd be hesitant to make it default, but it would be nice to tag unit tests
as having a maximum timeout. Yet another case for using attributes on unit
tests and RTInfo for modules...
