Implement std::condition_variable via pthread_cond_clockwait() where available
std::condition_variable is currently implemented via
pthread_cond_timedwait() on systems that use pthread. This is
problematic, since that function waits by default on CLOCK_REALTIME
and libc++ does not provide any mechanism to change from this
default.
Due to this, regardless of if condition_variable::wait_until() is
called with a chrono::system_clock or chrono::steady_clock parameter,
condition_variable::wait_until() will wait using CLOCK_REALTIME. This
is not accurate to the C++ standard as calling
condition_variable::wait_until() with a chrono::steady_clock parameter
should use CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
This is particularly problematic because CLOCK_REALTIME is a bad
choice as it is subject to discontinuous time adjustments, that may
cause condition_variable::wait_until() to immediately timeout or wait
indefinitely.
This change fixes this issue with a new POSIX function,
pthread_cond_clockwait() proposed on
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1216. The new function is
similar to pthread_cond_timedwait() with the addition of a clock
parameter that allows it to wait using either CLOCK_REALTIME or
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, thus allowing condition_variable::wait_until() to
wait using CLOCK_REALTIME for chrono::system_clock and CLOCK_MONOTONIC
for chrono::steady_clock.
pthread_cond_clockwait() is implemented in glibc (2.30 and later) and
Android's bionic (Android API version 30 and later).
This change additionally makes wait_for() and wait_until() with clocks
other than chrono::system_clock use CLOCK_MONOTONIC.<Paste>
