Since I'll have JRuby time again starting tonight, I was wondering
if there are any specific areas you guys would like me to focus on?
At the moment I'm planning on focusing on reviewing the rest of
the core Ruby classes, then looking at method lookup and (time
permitting) IO.
Well there's this test of concurrently loading up Java classes that's
annoyingly unpredictable. So perhaps a review of the Java integration
layer for thread safety would be useful.
But it should come after what you already have planned. I don't know of
any other severe threading issues.
I saw that Brent Roman submitted a threading patch for 1.8 on ruby-core
and mentioned that their heavily multithreaded app has managed to crash
1.8, 1.9, and JRuby. I asked what happened with JRuby...so if we hear
back it might give us more to work on.
And of course, writing thread brutalization tests would be a huge bonus.
