[ruby-core:55128] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8270] Ruby should build without thread support (aka minix)

From: "eike.rb (Eike Dierks)" <eike@...>
Date: 2013-05-22 23:31:05 UTC
List: ruby-core #55128
Issue #8270 has been updated by eike.rb (Eike Dierks).


Thanks to everyone who responded.
Porting to Minix is only a minor target.

I suggested to the minix people that they should implement threads to get that resolved.

But obviously there's a lot of work to do
to really get ruby in the multithreaded world.
Sounds like a task for ruby3.

I already learned that it's quite hard
to get rid of the global lock
for dynamic languages.














----------------------------------------
Feature #8270: Ruby should build without thread support (aka minix)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8270#change-39492

Author: eike.rb (Eike Dierks)
Status: Open
Priority: Low
Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Category: build
Target version: Next Major


I tried to ./configure ruby on Minix 3.2.1,
The configure failed, because minix does not yet implement threads.

I'd like to suggest that ruby should still build on platforms without threads.

AFAIK the language does not yet require thread support in itself,
but maybe the new GC does require it.
So we might want to look up,
where the dependencies on threading really are.
