Bug #2097: fork NotImplementedError on FreeBSD
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2097
Author: robert gleeson
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [x86_64-freebsd7.1]
Hi,
I'm not sure if a fix should be applied via patches to the FreeBSD port of ruby or in ruby itself, but on Ruby 1.9.1(patchlevel 129) you cannot fork a process.
irb(main):002:0> Process.fork
NotImplementedError: fork() function is unimplemented on this machine
from (irb):2:in `fork'
from (irb):2
from /opt/ruby19/bin/irb19:12:in `<main>'
I love ruby, and I love FreeBSD. It'd be great if i can combine both. Thanks!

On recent *BSD, fork can't work with pthreads, and pthreads is
mandatory to ruby 1.9. This is caused by the kernel internal.
See <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=threads/101323>.

Persuade the BSD maintainers.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. It seems this issue is resolved on FreeBSD 7.2 for anyone who stumbles upon this :-)

Issue #2097 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.
On Ruby 1.9.1 and FreeBSD7.2 fork doesn't work.
But on ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-09-16 trunk 24965) [x86_64-freebsd7.2], fork works.
I don't know why.

Just information for someone see this,
FreeBSD 7.2 can fork when pthreads doesn't run.
So in trunk, stop timer thread then fork and restart timer.
