runners/calculator: set timeout to prevent allocating huge memory (!2799) · Merge requests · Plasma / Plasma Workspace

Fushan Wen requested to merge work/fuf/timeout into Plasma/5.27 Apr 06, 2023

This is not exactly a memory leak. The extreme expression simply requires huge amounts of memory to calculate.

The calculator runner is problematic since it does not specify a time limit for calculations, and does not even abort calculations after the window has been closed (a simple example of this is the expression 123456789!).
