This version # provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible #timeout. # # = Synopsis # # require 'timeout' # status = Timeout::timeout(5) { # # Something that should be interrupted if it takes too much time... # } # require 'thread' module Timeout ## # Raised by Timeout#timeout when the block times out. class Error<Interrupt end # A mutex to protect @requests @mutex = Mutex.new # All the outstanding TimeoutRequests @requests = [] # Represents +thr+ asking for it to be timeout at in +secs+ # seconds. At timeout, raise +exc+. class TimeoutRequest def initialize(secs, thr, exc) @left = secs @thread = thr @exception = exc end attr_reader :thread, :left # Called because +time+ seconds have gone by. Returns # true if the request has no more time left to run. def elapsed(time) @left -= time @left <= 0 end # Raise @exception if @thread. def cancel if @thread and @thread.alive? @thread.raise @exception, "execution expired" end @left = 0 end # Abort this request, ie, we don't care about tracking # the thread anymore. def abort @thread = nil @left = 0 end end def self.add_timeout(time, exc) @controller ||= Thread.new do while true if @requests.empty? sleep next end min = nil @mutex.synchronize do min = @requests.min { |a,b| a.left <=> b.left } end slept_for = sleep(min.left) @mutex.synchronize do @requests.delete_if do |r| if r.elapsed(slept_for) r.cancel true else false end end end end end req = TimeoutRequest.new(time, Thread.current, exc) @mutex.synchronize do @requests << req end @controller.run return req end ## # Executes the method's block. If the block execution terminates before +sec+ # seconds has passed, it returns true. If not, it terminates the execution # and raises +exception+ (which defaults to Timeout::Error). # # Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can 'include # Timeout' into your classes so they have a #timeout method, as well as a # module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout(). def timeout(sec, exception=Error) return yield if sec == nil or sec.zero? raise ThreadError, "timeout within critical session" if Thread.critical req = Timeout.add_timeout sec, exception begin yield sec ensure req.abort end end module_function :timeout end ## # Identical to: # # Timeout::timeout(n, e, &block). # # Defined for backwards compatibility with earlier versions of timeout.rb, see # Timeout#timeout. def timeout(n, e=Timeout::Error, &block) # :nodoc: Timeout::timeout(n, e, &block) end ## # Another name for Timeout::Error, defined for backwards compatibility with # earlier versions of timeout.rb. class Object remove_const(:TimeoutError) if const_defined?(:TimeoutError) end TimeoutError = Timeout::Error # :nodoc: if __FILE__ == $0 p timeout(5) { 45 } p timeout(5, TimeoutError) { 45 } p timeout(nil) { 54 } p timeout(0) { 54 } p timeout(5) { loop { p 10 sleep 1 } } end
