I wonder if you could give some more detailed examples of what you would use this for. You write: > [The current functionality] can have serious consequences for distributed > systems with high traffic, where finishing a request in a timely manner is > essential for avoiding cascading failures. It feels like "finishing in a timely manner" is rather different from "being forcefully killed after a fixed time limit". I'm struggling to picture when I'd want a hard wall-time limit, rather than: - checking the script's duration at key points where I know it can gracefully exit, ensure a consistent state, and return an appropriate message to the caller - enforcing a network timeout on the calling end so that I don't need to rely on all services cooperatively exiting in good time Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
