[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D13124: test runner: switch to pure-Python timeout mechanism

[Zachary Turner via lldb-commits]

I'm ok with leaving some straggling processes on Windows for now, because
it's obviously better than what we have currently, which is nothing.  I can
implement some sort of helper module at some point that exposes a new
createProcess function that supports this for Windows and Unix with a
single interface once it becomes a problem.

Which reminds me of another thing: Since you're working heavily on the tet
suite, one thing I've always wanted is what I just mentioned: Something
like an lldbxplat module which is essentially a helper module that exposes
a single interface for doing things that differ depending on the platform.
This would essentially let us remove almost every single occurrence of `if
sys.name.startswith('win32')` from the entire test suite, which would
really help maintainability.

It's something I'll get to myself one day if nobody else beats me, but
since you're making a lot of great improvements to the test suite recently,
figured I'd throw it out there.
