timeout-interrupt
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Works like ruby's timeout, but interrupts every call, also syscalls, which blocks the hole ruby-process.
|
|
|
|
It uses POSIX's alarm and traps ALRM-signals.
|
|
|
|
Known limitations bacause of alarm and ALRM are, that you can not use alarm or trap ALRM.
|
|
|
|
Do not forget, syscall can have allocated memory.
|
|
If you interrupt a call, which can not free his allocations, you will have a memory leak.
|
|
So, use it only, if your process did not live any longer or if you call something, which never allocate mem
