Apparently, this ** is the only platform independent way. ** ** POSIX setitimer: a very simple way that instructs the kernel to send a ** signal after some time. If available, this is what we want! ** ** Win32 CreateWaitableTimer: unfortunately, this mechanism only calls the ** completion routine (the callback) when the main thread "enters an ** alertable wait state", i.e. it sleeps. We don't want our main thread to ** sleep, thus this approach is not appropriate. ** ** Win32 SetTimer: while we can specify a callback function, we still need ** to process the windows event queue for the callback to be called. (see ** https://stackoverflow.com/a/15406527/2375725). We don't want our main ** thread to continuously monitor the event queue. ** ** ** We thus use the setitimer variant whenever possible, and the std::thread ** variant otherwise. **/ #include "time_limit.h" #include "cvc4autoconfig.h" #if HAVE_SETITIMER #include #include #else #include #include #include #endif #include #include #include "signal_handlers.h" namespace CVC4 { namespace main { #if HAVE_SETITIMER TimeLimit::~TimeLimit() {} void posix_timeout_handler(int sig, siginfo_t* info, void*) { signal_handlers::timeout_handler(); } #else std::atomic abort_timer_flag; TimeLimit::~TimeLimit() { abort_timer_flag.store(true); } #endif TimeLimit install_time_limit(const Options& opts) { unsigned long ms = opts.getCumulativeTimeLimit(); // Skip if no time limit shall be set. if (ms == 0) { return TimeLimit(); } #if HAVE_SETITIMER // Install a signal handler for SIGALRM struct sigaction sact; sact.sa_sigaction = posix_timeout_handler; sact.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sigemptyset(&sact.sa_mask); if (sigaction(SIGALRM, &sact, NULL)) { throw Exception(std::string("sigaction(SIGALRM) failure: ") + strerror(errno)); } // Check https://linux.die.net/man/2/setitimer // Then time is up, the kernel will send a SIGALRM struct itimerval timerspec; timerspec.it_value.tv_sec = ms / 1000; timerspec.it_value.tv_usec = (ms % 1000) * 1000; timerspec.it_interval.tv_sec = 0; timerspec.it_interval.tv_usec = 0; // Argument 1: which timer to set, we want the real time // Argument 2: timer configuration, relative to current time // Argument 3: old timer configuration, we don't want to know if (setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &timerspec, nullptr)) { throw Exception(std::string("timer_settime() failure: ") + strerror(errno)); } #else abort_timer_flag.store(false); std::thread t([ms]() { // when to stop auto limit = std::chrono::system_clock::now() + std::chrono::milliseconds(ms); while (limit > std::chrono::system_clock::now()) { // check if the main thread is done if (abort_timer_flag.load()) return; std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100)); } // trigger the timeout handler signal_handlers::timeout_handler(); }); // detach the thread t.detach(); #endif return TimeLimit(); } } // namespace main } // namespace CVC4
