add timeouts to tests #348

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

it would be nice to implement timeouts for tests.
thus a test will fail if it does not complete successfully within the alloted 
time frame. makes it easier to impose performance restrictions on cerain 
operations, and also to make sure that if a certain test hangs, other test 
cases can run instead of aborting everything/

+1 for time consuming operation and make sure the test isn't dead locked.

Isn't that pretty basic to be able to check that a test does not hang???

agree with this. this way we can improve our applications performance as well.

I'm testing a multi-threaded worker type class. I need to verify that all the 
threads indeed do terminate and a join on them succeeds. If the threads don't 
terminate in a timely manner this is an error that I would like to test for. 
Otherwise my test program would never terminate and our test automation would 
get problems.

Any news regarding this essential feature? if someone knows a temp way to 
implement this for a C/C++ code, please let us know.
