Detailed Description

Evaluate an expression for a maximum number of times.

A typical use case is testing for a bit change in a hardware register for a maximum number of times (polling). For example:

{c++} 
Mmio_register_block regs;
Poll_timeout_counter i(3000000);
while (i.test(!(regs.read<l4_uint32_t>(0x04) & 1)))
  ;

The following usage is wrong:

{c++} 
...
Poll_timeout_counter i(3000000);
while (!i.test((regs.read<l4_uint32_t>(0x04) & 1)))
  ;

This loop would never terminate if the hardware register doesn't change!
