Issue #17849 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). @mame How do you explain the test I linked above fails (still does with latest CRuby) then? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17849#note-16 Anyway, we all agree nobody should rely on that, and it's also unrealistic to ask people to explicitly add `Thread.handle_interrupt` in every `ensure`. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17849: Fix Timeout.timeout so that it can be used in threaded Web servers https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17849#change-94516 * Author: duerst (Martin Drst) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Making this a separate issue from #17837 Eregon (Benoit Daloze) wrote in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17837#note-10 (which is about timeouts for regular expressions): > I think fixing Timeout.timeout might be possible. > The main/major issue is it can trigger within `ensure`, right?
