2015-05-21Fix intermittent hang issue in scheduler_testsWladimir J. van der Laan
Don't clear `stopRequested` and `stopWhenEmpty` at the top of `serviceQueue`, as this results in a race condition: on systems under heavy load, some of the threads only get scheduled on the CPU when the other threads have already finished their work. This causes the flags to be cleared post-hoc and thus those threads to wait forever. The potential drawback of this change is that the scheduler cannot be restarted after being stopped (an explicit reset would be needed), but we don't use this functionality anyway.
2015-05-16More robust CScheduler unit testGavin Andresen
On a busy or slow system, the CScheduler unit test could fail because it assumed all threads would be done after a couple of milliseconds. Replace the hard-coded sleep with CScheduler stop() method that will cleanly exit the servicing threads when all tasks are completely finished.
