Timeouts on sockets does not work

[Pavel Kukushkin]

Timeouts doesnt work for 1.0.44 sbcl in socket-make-stream (for socket-connect sockets). And timeouts for socket-accept doesnt works in 1.0.41 nor 1.0.44

Can you provide some more details please? (A test-case would be perfect.)

Timeouts on sockets (and fd-streams in general) apply only to wait-periods when reading new input -- admittedly this is not properly documented at the moment.

So :timeout 0.1 means: "signal a timeout if there is no new input for 0.1 seconds", not "must be closed in 0.1 seconds".

Oh. I understand. My mistake is to wait IOTimeout error while reading
from socket and in sbcl 1.0.41 i got it. But as i understand it is
undocumented feature. So now i have a question. How I can get such
behaviour using stable documented features?
