is using coroutines not an option?

[kevin.cianfarini]

It is, but I wouldn’t want my normal synchronous code to be tainted by coroutines solely so I can test it. Someone in ASG mentiond using something like

withTimeout(...) {
  runInterruptable { myTestCode() }
}

but runInterruptable does not exist outside of the JVM

The psuedocode of what I’m doing is this:

// Return an adjusted range that encompasses [value].
private fun IntRange.adjustBounds(value: Int): IntRange {
  var adjustedRange = this
  while (value !in adjustedRange) {
    adjustedRange = adjustedRange.decrement()
  }
  return adjustedRange
}

The types we’re working on isn’t an IntRange, but a custom range type, so doing something like coercing it with the stdlib isn’t an option. I don’t know of a better way to do this, I could elaborate on what precisely we’re doing but I’m not sure it’s important.
