libstdc++: Optimise std::future::wait_for
To poll a std::future to see if it's ready you have to call one of the
timed waiting functions. The most obvious way is wait_for(0s) but this
was previously very inefficient because it would turn the relative
timeout to an absolute one by calling system_clock::now(). When the
relative timeout is zero (or less) we're obviously going to get a time
that has already passed, but the overhead of obtaining the current time
can be dozens of microseconds.
This patch makes future::wait_for avoid waiting at all when the relative
timeout is zero or less, to avoid the unnecessary overhead of getting
the current time. This makes polling with wait_for(0s) take only a few
cycles instead of dozens of milliseconds.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* include/std/future (future::wait_for): Do not wait for
durations less than or equal to zero.
* testsuite/30_threads/future/members/poll.cc: New test.
