PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP Isn't available outside of linux. about c11threads HOT 6 CLOSED

See ISO C11 standard (I'm using draft N1570), sections 7.26.4.2 and 7.26.4.4

I'll gladly accept patches or pull requests implementing the equivalent operation on other systems.

You wanna tell me what that operation is even supposed to do in the first place?

Thank you. I was just reading the general threads.h definition in that standard.

I forgot to mention that I filed a bug report with Apple about their lack of timed mutex, hopefully they'll get around to updating their pthreads implementation before Sierra comes out, but I doubt it.

Just merged a pull request from github user "twistdroach", which works around missing timed mutexes by trylocking in a polling loop and sleeping of a while. This isn't a prefect solution, and I'm still open to suggestions and pull requests of more robust solutions, but it'll have to work for now, so I'm closing this enchancement request.
