I'm just starting to use Ocaml threads, and notice that there's no
equivalent of pthread_condvar_timedwait. It seems pretty clear (and
easy) how to implement this for POSIX, but I don't know diddly about
how one might do so on Windows, nor have I looked into howto implement
it on vmthreads.
Has anybody already stumbled across this issue and resolved it? (a
modest Google search reveals nothing).
Thanks,

I looked up this function and found nothing.
It seems this is your personal phantasy function,
or possibly just a typo.
Possibly you mean
pthread_cond_timedwait()
Ciao,

Oops, sorry, yes, I meant pthread_cond_timedwait(). In any case, it's
not wrappered in Ocaml systhreads, though clearly from the
implementation of pthread_cond_wait() (well, "st_condvar_wait" in
st_posix.h), it's trivial to add.
Just wondering why it was omitted, is all.

FWIW, the Jane Street Core library implements this function in
Core.Std.Condition.timedwait. I think it should be part of the
standard library, too, since it's a POSIX standard.
