Trait JoinHandleExt 

pub trait JoinHandleExt<T> {
    // Required method
    fn join_timeout(
        self,
        timeout: Duration,
    ) -> Result<T, Box<dyn Any + Send + 'static>>;
}

Extension trait for JoinHandle to add timeout functionality

Required Methods

fn join_timeout( self, timeout: Duration, ) -> Result<T, Box<dyn Any + Send + 'static>>

Join with a timeout, returning an error if the timeout is exceeded

This implementation properly handles timeout by using a dedicated timeout thread that will exit immediately, avoiding resource leaks. The original thread continues running in the background if it doesn’t finish within the timeout.
