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?
I'm surprised that there are thread-related tests that deadlock.
All the ones I wrote time out for exactly this reason. Of
course, getting the timings right can be a pain, so there's no
perfect solution.
