Hi!
I'm going to add 2 functioncalls to the kernel; msgrcv_t() msgsnd_t()
("t"
as in timeout) where the user will be able to specify a maximum amount
of
time they are prepared to wait for a message to be sent or become
available.
I just wonder if the rest of the freebsd community is interested in
these
kinds of additions to the kernel? I'm pretty certain there is alot more
people out there who'd like this functionality. Should I bother posting
them to the list?
As a sidenote: The main reason I need this is since I can't use
longjmp()/setjmp() with alarm() between pthread contexts; with FreeBSD
5.0
this fix probably won't be necessary (but still nice to have though).
And besides, I'd get paid to contribute to the project! =)
Greetings,
Bjorn
