[ruby-core:43732] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5446][Feedback] at_fork callback API

From: "mame (Yusuke Endoh)" <mame@...>
Date: 2012-03-27 13:45:23 UTC
List: ruby-core #43732
Issue #5446 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

Eric Wong,

Do you still want this feature?
If so, could you answer kosaki's comment?


OT: We noticed and surprised at your ID (normalperson) at the recent
developers' meeting in Akihabara.  Clearly, you are greatperson :-)

Feature #5446: at_fork callback API
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5446#change-25238

Author: normalperson (Eric Wong)
Status: Feedback
Priority: Low
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 


It would be good if Ruby provides an API for registering fork() handlers.

This allows libraries to automatically and agnostically reinitialize resources
such as open IO objects in child processes whenever fork() is called by a user
application.  Use of this API by library authors will reduce false/improper
sharing of objects across processes when interacting with other
libraries/applications that may fork.

This Ruby API should function similarly to pthread_atfork() which allows
(at least) three different callbacks to be registered:

1) prepare - called before fork() in the original process
2) parent - called after fork() in the original process
3) child - called after fork() in the child process

It should be possible to register multiple callbacks for each action
(like at_exit and pthread_atfork(3)).

These callbacks should be called whenever fork() is used:

- Kernel#fork
- IO.popen
- ``
- Kernel#system

... And any other APIs I've forgotten about

I also want to consider handlers that only need to be called for plain
fork() use (without immediate exec() afterwards, like with `` and system()).

Ruby already has the internal support for most of this this to manage mutexes,
Thread structures, and RNG seed.  Currently, no external API is exposed.  I can
prepare a patch if an API is decided upon.
