[M3devel] AlertPause(0) is alertable?

[Randy Coleburn]

My understanding of the interface has always been as you suggest, namely, yes you should get an "Alerted" exception if the thread is marked alerted regardless of the value of the n (seconds) parameter.

If I call AlertPause with <= 0 time, should I recieve alerts?
Current pthread/win32 implementations: no.
 They say if time <= then return end before doing much.
My suspicion: yes.


Thread.i3:
 
PROCEDURE AlertPause(n: LONGREAL) RAISES {Alerted};
(* Like "Pause", but if the thread is marked alerted at the time of
   the call or sometime during the wait, raise "Alerted". *)
