Augie Fackler <augie@google.com> [Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:03:16 -0400] rev 40036
showstack: also handle SIGALRM This is looking *very* handy when debugging mysterious hangs in a test: you can wrap a hanging invocation in `perl -e 'alarm shift @ARGV; exec @ARGV' 1` for example, a hanging `hg pull` becomes `perl -e 'alarm shift @ARGV; exec @ARGV' 1 hg pull` where the `1` is the timeout in seconds before the process will be hit with SIGALRM. After making that edit to the test file, you can then use --extra-config-opt on run-tests.py to globaly enable showstack during the test run, so you'll get full stack traces as you force your hg to exit. I wonder (but only a little, not enough to take action just yet) if we should wire up some scaffolding in run-tests itself to automatically wrap all commands in alarm(3) somehow to avoid hangs in the future?
