closes#1134
see #1362
This feature is implemented using a "hearbeat" thread local counter.
We reset the counter whenever we start a new task.
The counter is incremented when:
1- An object is allocated using small_object_allocator (e.g., VM object)
2- An object is allocated using memory_pool (e.g., expr, level, rb_tree nodes, list cons-cells, etc)
3- check_system(...) invocations
We check if the threshold was reached at check_system.
The option --timeout=num can be used to set the limit (in thousands).
The default is unbounded in batch mode.
In server mode, the default is 100000. We can compile the standard library with --timeout=12000
I did not perform many experiments to check how precise this counter is.
I added a new Emacs configuration setting to change the server default.
Here is the wall clock time for different values of --timeout for the
