@sgerbino

timeout

Fail a task if it doesn't complete within a duration.

Behavior:

  • Starts the task and a timer concurrently
  • If task completes first, returns its result
  • If timer fires first, requests stop for the task and returns error condition capy::cond::timeout

Real-world use cases:

Use Case Description
SLA enforcement Ensure responses within promised latency
Deadlock prevention Abort operations that hang indefinitely
Resource protection Prevent slow clients from holding resources
User experience Show timeout message rather than hanging UI
auto[ec, n] = co_await timeout( sock.read_some( buf ), 50ms );
