[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

Loading issue in ECL with bordeaux-threads-0.8.3
by James M. Lawrence 12 Jun '13

FYI there is a bug in ECL affecting bordeaux-threads-0.8.3. (ql:quickload :bordeaux-threads) (bt:make-thread (lambda ())) There is no problem when bordeaux-threads is compiled for the first time, however thereafter loading from fasls will result in Condition of type: BORDEAUX-MP-CONDITION There is no support for this method on this implementation. The relevant ECL bug is http://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/bugs/261/ This does not affect bordeaux-threads-0.8.2.
