Is there a sleep() that does a yield internally available in Julia?

[Amit Murthy]

The currently available sleep() is just a ccall to usleep(), which would effectively block the entire Julia process.

I am looking for a sleep() that would internally yield to any other running tasks and return after the specified time, so that I can write code like this:

while (event_not done)

     jl_sleep(0.01)    # 10 milliseconds

     event_not done = check_for_event_done()

end

Are you on the latest master? This changed recently.

systemsleep() now calls the unix usleep(), whereas sleep() should yield to other tasks now. Someone should correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah. Sorry, my bad. I was a few days behind on the master.

Thanks.

But unfortunately it's broken while running multi Julia processes, I filed an issue(#2663) minutes ago.
