Feature #11650: Add custom error message arg to Timeout.timeout

• Status: Closed

[kirs (Kir Shatrov)]

Now Timeout.timeout can accept custom error message:

Timeout.timeout(30, CustomException, “custom_message”)

This option might be useful for networking:

# net/smtp.rb#do_start
Timeout.timeout(30, Net::OpenTimeout, "failed to open #{host}") do
  tcp_connection
end
