Are you proposing a modification such as:
No, that was my original fix. This is the same solution, but just moving the location of the exception. I now think think this timeout needs to be added directly to interprocess_mutex. This would affect the files emulation/interprocess_mutex.hpp and posix/interprocess_mutex.hpp. If the BOOST_INTERPROCESS_ENABLE_TIMEOUT symbol is set, the lock() method would actually call timed_lock() using the BOOST_INTERPROCESS_TIMEOUT_MS value. If it fails to acquire the lock, it will throw a newly defined timeout_exception.
Are you planning on submitting your proposal to the library for consideration in the next release?
Yes, I plan on submitting this, but I am afraid it may take some time. It not a high priority for me plus I have some vacation time next week.
