class WEBrick::Utils::TimeoutHandler

Class used to manage timeout handlers across multiple threads.

Timeout handlers should be managed by using the class methods which are synchronized.

id = TimeoutHandler.register(10, Timeout::Error)
begin
  sleep 20
  puts 'foo'
ensure
  TimeoutHandler.cancel(id)
end

will raise Timeout::Error

id = TimeoutHandler.register(10, Timeout::Error)
begin
  sleep 5
  puts 'foo'
ensure
  TimeoutHandler.cancel(id)
end

will print 'foo'

Cancels the timeout handler id

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 167
def TimeoutHandler.cancel(id)
  TimeoutMutex.synchronize{
    instance.cancel(Thread.current, id)
  }
end

Creates a new TimeoutHandler. You should use ::register and ::cancel instead of creating the timeout handler directly.

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 176
def initialize
  @timeout_info = Hash.new
  Thread.start{
    while true
      now = Time.now
      @timeout_info.keys.each{|thread|
        ary = @timeout_info[thread]
        next unless ary
        ary.dup.each{|info|
          time, exception = *info
          interrupt(thread, info.object_id, exception) if time < now
        }
      }
      sleep 0.5
    end
  }
end

Registers a new timeout handler

time: Timeout in seconds
exception: Exception to raise when timeout elapsed

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 159
def TimeoutHandler.register(seconds, exception)
  TimeoutMutex.synchronize{
    instance.register(Thread.current, Time.now + seconds, exception)
  }
end

Public Instance Methods

cancel(thread, id) click to toggle source

Cancels the timeout handler id

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 217
def cancel(thread, id)
  if ary = @timeout_info[thread]
    ary.delete_if{|info| info.object_id == id }
    if ary.empty?
      @timeout_info.delete(thread)
    end
    return true
  end
  return false
end

interrupt(thread, id, exception) click to toggle source

Interrupts the timeout handler id and raises exception

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 196
def interrupt(thread, id, exception)
  TimeoutMutex.synchronize{
    if cancel(thread, id) && thread.alive?
      thread.raise(exception, "execution timeout")
    end
  }
end

Registers a new timeout handler

time: Timeout in seconds
exception: Exception to raise when timeout elapsed

# File lib/webrick/utils.rb, line 209
def register(thread, time, exception)
  @timeout_info[thread] ||= Array.new
  @timeout_info[thread] << [time, exception]
  return @timeout_info[thread].last.object_id
end
