Subject: Ruby 1.8 + blocking + threads support?
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 16:52:09 -0800 [thread overview]

Does anybody want this badly?
Or are you all happily using 1.9 where we properly release the GVL if we
need to block? (or just avoiding threads entirely).
Currently we block the entire process under 1.8 when doing a blocking
send/receive on a full/empty queue.
We _can_ support 1.8 thread-safe blocking under Linux/FreeBSD only
(which may be enough), but I'm unlikely to make the effort unless people
really want it... Patches to that affect accepted, of course, but
I recommend 1.9 for any new projects people are starting since it's
easier to deal with and faster to boot.
