Hi,

I guess for MacOS we should implement an own function.

Probably something like this (I do not own a Mac so I cannot check if
this really correct.)

int sem_wait_with_timeout(sem_t * psem, long to_ns)
{
    dispatch_time_t timeout = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, to_ns);
    long result = dispatch_semaphore_wait(*psem, timeout);
    if (result != 0)
    {
        errno = ETIMEDOUT;
        return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

Could anyone check this?


Best regards
