[Bordeaux-threads-devel] CONDITION-WAIT with timeout
by Thomas Munro 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

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 Thomas Munro [1] http://random-state.net/log/3523852985.html

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

[Bordeaux-threads-devel] style-warning in upcoming SBCL-1.1
by James M. Lawrence 12 Mar '13

; caught STYLE-WARNING: ; SB-THREAD:GET-MUTEX has been deprecated as of SBCL 1.0.37.33. Use ; SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX instead. The attached patch requires 1.0.38, which appears to have been released April 2010. Support for 2.5+ year old compilers may or may not be desirable when weighed against a style-warning. I don't have a strong opinion.
