Travis Vitek updated STDCXX-536:
--------------------------------
Attachment: stdcxx-536.patch
Proposed patch allows each call to {{rw_thread_pool()}} to specify a soft
timeout in seconds. A non-zero timeout will cause a timer to be started when
pool threads are spawned. When the timer expires, a flag will be set. The user
thread function will need to poll this flag periodically through the function
{{rw_thread_timeout_expired()}}, and if it is true the thread should return as
soon as is reasonably possible.
Please review and provide feedback.

STDCXX-536
* tests/include/rw_thread.h: Reduce C linkage to areas that
actually need it, add typedef for thread function type.
(rw_thread_pool): Add timeout parameter with default value.
(rw_thread_pool_timeout_expired): New function declaration.
* tests/src/thread.cpp: (_rw_timeout_handler): New function
to respond to alarm signals and set timeout flag.
(rw_thread_pool_timeout_expired): New function to query
timeout status.
(rw_thread_pool): Set alarm based on timeout value.

> The newly added thread safety tests (and possibly some of the existing ones)
> tend to run for a long time, consuming a lot of CPU cycles, and sometimes
> even failing due to a timeout (currently 300 seconds in nightly builds). It
> would be useful to provide a mechanism such as a command line option whereby
> the tests' runtime could be limited without necessarily causing them to fail
> when the amount of time is exceeded. One way to do it would be for each test
> to set an alarm in response to this command line option and in handler for
> the alarm set a flag that each thread would check at each iteration of its
> loop to see if it should break.
