[Mono-devel-list] BUG in System.Threading

[Artem Zabytin]

Hello,

The following code from Mono documentation hangs after "disposing of
timer..." message.

using System;
using System.Threading;

class TimerExampleState {
    public int counter = 0;
    public Timer tmr;
}

class App {
   public static void Main() {
    TimerExampleState s = new TimerExampleState();

    // Create the delegate that invokes methods for the timer.
    TimerCallback timerDelegate = new TimerCallback(CheckStatus);

    // Create a timer that waits one second, then invokes every second.
    Timer timer = new Timer(timerDelegate, s,1000, 1000);
    
    // Keep a handle to the timer, so it can be disposed.
    s.tmr = timer;

    // The main thread does nothing until the timer is disposed.
    while (s.tmr != null)
        Thread.Sleep(0);
    Console.WriteLine("Timer example done.");
   }
   // The following method is called by the timer's delegate.

   static void CheckStatus(Object state) {
    TimerExampleState s = (TimerExampleState) state;
    s.counter++;
          Console.WriteLine("{0} Checking Status
{1}.",DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay, s.counter);
        if (s.counter == 5) {
        // Shorten the period. Wait 10 seconds to restart the timer.
        (s.tmr).Change(10000,100);
        Console.WriteLine("changed...");
    }
        if (s.counter == 10) {
        Console.WriteLine("disposing of timer...");
        s.tmr.Dispose();
        s.tmr = null;
    }
   }
}
