pthread_cond_timedwait returning immediately

Question

I\'m having a strange problem. I have the following code:

    dbg(\"condwait: timeout = %d, %d\\n\", 
        abs_timeout->tv_sec, abs_timeout->tv_nsec);
          


        

Answer 1

pthread_cond_timedwait takes an absolute time, not a relative time. You need to make your wait time absolute by adding to the current time to your timeout value.
