Hi
Are there any plans to support a timeout for
bordeaux-threads:condition-wait? The implementations I'm
aware of support this threading primitive:
* ABCL could presumably do it since Java Object.wait can take a timeout
* SBCL supports it using sb-thread:condition-wait with keyword :timeout [1]
* anything with POSIX threads underneath could use pthread_cond_timedwait
The main variation seems to be between those implementations that
use an absolute time and those that use a relative time (how long
to wait in milliseconds for example).
Since I think I need this feature I might try to write a patch to
do this for ABCL and SBCL if there is nothing already in
the works (unless there is some technical problem I'm not seeing?)
Thanks

Hello.
When running bordeaux-threads on CMUCL, the test suite
prints 8 megabytes of dots in output and then crashes
CMUCL with heap exhausted.
