Subject: [ruby-core:60682] volatile usages
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:04:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140213100436.GA14947@dcvr.yhbt.net> (raw)

Hi all, I went ahead and removed some use of volatile which were once
needed, but no longer.  (r44929. r44930)

I'm not sure about the reason for the volatile VALUE v in re.c:
rb_reg_s_union, so I'm leaving it alone.


Also, in string.c, I'm not sure if the volatile declaration is enough,
using RB_GC_GUARD below seems more correct (and generates smaller code
on x86-32, at least):

--- a/string.c
+++ b/string.c

+	VALUE rv = rb_str_format(RARRAY_LENINT(tmp), RARRAY_CONST_PTR(tmp), str);

+	return rv;
     }
     return rb_str_format(1, &arg, str);
 }
