Hey,
I had found some errors in using the tool for timeout on windows.
I have updated the code to use subprocess module, which is recommended as the replacement to old os.system calls.
I have also added refinements and cleaned the code a bit.

Awesome, thanks @apaar97

Hi all,
How to get compilation error? I want to get where the error occurred in compiled file.
