01:31 PM Ruby Feature #13620: Simplifying MRI's build system: always make install

Just a word of encouragement here.
The ways in which ruby seems to differ between installed and in-tree testing has bitten me doing Ruby+OMR work a number of times, and I'd love to see some simplification. (In particular, I load Ruby... magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)

03:30 PM Ruby Feature #13512: System Threads

So, I'd love to use a native thread to do compilation, however, that means compilation is cut off entirely from the interpreter: Any and all `rb_` family functions that are only callable under the GVL become out of bounds. In the short t... magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)

02:16 PM Ruby Feature #13512 (Rejected): System Threads

In this feature I propose creating a VM implementation feature called (for lack of a better name) *System Threads*.

03:27 PM Ruby Misc #13486: Using rb_thread_call_without_gvl{2}

Thinking more on this, I'm wondering if maybe I would still like to be in a situation where the compilation thread is a ruby thread (and in fact, today, have a working version that runs this way -- I got rid of `rb_thread_wait_for`--, bu... magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)

12:54 PM Ruby Misc #13486: Using rb_thread_call_without_gvl{2}

Ok. That makes sense.
Thanks for the tip. This can probably get closed (I can't seem to do it myself). magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)

08:08 PM Ruby Misc #13486 (Closed): Using rb_thread_call_without_gvl{2}

I'm currently working on adding asynchronous compilation to [Ruby+OMR][1], and I'm trying to use the existing Ruby thread API. However, given that compilation shouldn't happen while holding the GVL, I've been playing with `rb_thread_call... magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)

02:41 PM Ruby Feature #13265 (Rejected): TracePoint for basic operation redefinition

Add TracePoint for basic operation redefinition.

This infrequent event can have an outsized performance impact by eliminating a lot of the optimization that exists in the Ruby interpreter.

In order to know when these sor... magaudet (Matthew Gaudet)
