Hey Mental-
I have been talking with Eric Hodel about this and he had a
suggestion. Maybe instead of requiring that fastthread be required
before thread we should add the necessary Object.send :remove_const
calls to remove Thread and Mutex and friends. would that work?
I took the latest fastthread code and made these changes to the C
code and recompiled. It seems to be working fine but I am not sure
how to tell that fastthread is really loaded instead of thread. Here
is what I did:
# I removed this test:
if (!RTEST(rb_require("thread"))) {
rb_raise(rb_eRuntimeError, "fastthread must be required before
thread");
}
# and added these statements.
rb_mod_remove_const(rb_cObject, rb_str_new2("Mutex"));
rb_mod_remove_const(rb_cObject, rb_str_new2("ConditionVariable"));
rb_mod_remove_const(rb_cObject, rb_str_new2("Queue"));
rb_mod_remove_const(rb_cObject, rb_str_new2("SizedQueue"));
This seems to work fine but I am unsure. Mental what do you think
about this? Now instead of requiring fastthread after thread, we
require thread and then require fastthread. Or since rubygems is
already gong to require thread this takes care of it.
It does seem better to allow fastthread to come after thread like
this. In your test cases I also added require 'thread; before the
require 'fastthread' to make them work. How can we verify that this
is a valid fix?
