Subject: [ruby-core:53837] [Backport93 - Backport #8187] timeout doesn't interrupt assignment.


Issue #8187 has been updated by robertgleeson (Robert Gleeson).


For my case, this code was run in a subprocess. Instead of using Timeout in the subprocess, I use it from the parent instead, like this:

begin
Timeout.timeout(1) do
  Process.wait @pid
end
rescue Timeout::Error 
  Process.kill 'SIGKILL', @pid
end

This solves the problem for me.

Timeout does not interrupt & raise like usual with this example code:

require 'timeout'
Timeout.timeout(0.5) do
  x = " "*(2**31)
end
