Support Ruby 1.9 GIL, for cases where exact thread behavior compatibility is
important
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-1804
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-1804
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Fix For: JRuby 1.1
Ruby 1.9 threads are all native, but lock on a GIL (Giant Interpreter Lock). We
could provide similar support in JRuby using the normal thread checkpointing we
use for thread events. It would not be particularly difficult to add, and for
cases where JRuby needs to have identical behavior to Ruby 1.9 (and really, to
Ruby 1.8) it could prove useful.
