[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] lua: handle fiber cancellation for fiber.cond

[Sergey Ostanevich]

Hi Oleg!

Thanks for the comment, I believe I have to resend the patch along with
C API changes.

What I see at the moment - failures like 

[076]  test_run:wait_upstream(1, {message_re = 'Missing %.xlog file',
status = 'loading'})
[076]  ---
[076] -- true
[076] +- false

which incurred by the intended behavior change, AFAIU. We no longer
return 'true' in case the fiber is cancelled. The wait_upstream returns
the cond wait result, hence the output differs.

Did you observe any other failures?

Regards,
Sergos
