00024 Class
00025     Foam::timer
00026 
00027 Description
00028     Implements a timeout mechanism via sigalarm.
00029 
00030     Example usage:
00031     @code
00032         timer myTimer(5);     // 5 sec
00033         ..
00034         if (timedOut(myTimer))
00035         {
00036             // timed out
00037         }
00038         else
00039         {
00040             // do something possible blocking
00041         }
00042     @endcode
00043 
00044     Constructor set signal handler on sigalarm and alarm(). Destructor
00045     clears these.
00046 
00047     timedOut is macro because setjmp can't be in member function of timer.
00048     ?something to do with stack frames.
00049 
00050 Warning
00051     The setjmp restores complete register state so including local vars
00052     held in regs. So if in blocking part something gets calced in a stack
00053     based variable make sure it is declared 'volatile'.
