[Asterisk-Users] AbsoluteTimeout Inside A Macro

[Christopher L. Wade]

Okay, time for an update.

I posted this as a bug.  Very quickly got informed that it is not a bug, 
but instead, an undocumented 'feature'.

AbsoluteTimeout is treated as an *exception* (ie it looks like a hangup) 
by most applications, including Macro, which makes most applications exit.

This being said, this is why a 'T' extension in the calling context 
would run, but not a 'T' extension inside the macro.  Once macro exists, 
the macro context no longer exists, and the 'T' extension inside the 
macro becomes 'inaccessible'.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to implement my logic without macros. 
Hopefully variables aren't screwed up by AbsoluteTimeout.

Thanks,
Chris
