How will be the documentation? We need to think very careful about that. > Too obscure and not obvious for me; do non-Lua people know about it? Do we have Threadlets in other languages? It seems Lua has got something very similar (how similar?) and calls it Lanes.

In a dedicated Lane I see "vehicles" moving steady and fast in between the traffic chaos. I consider it a fortunate choice from Lua people. The notion of async for me is management of traffic in between the chaos. Why thread? Because it is a kind of channel or pipe as well, isn't it? ---------------------------------------- Feature #13618: [PATCH] auto fiber schedule for rb_wait_for_single_fd and rb_waitpid https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13618#change-69936 * Author: normalperson (Eric Wong) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: normalperson (Eric Wong) * Target version: ---------------------------------------- ``` auto fiber schedule for rb_wait_for_single_fd and rb_waitpid Implement automatic Fiber yield and resume when running rb_wait_for_single_fd and rb_waitpid. The Ruby API changes for Fiber are named after existing Thread methods. main Ruby API: Fiber#start -> enable auto-scheduling and run Fiber until it automatically yields (due to EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK) The following behave like their Thread counterparts: Fiber.start - Fiber.new + Fiber#start (prelude.rb) Fiber#join - run internal scheduler until Fiber is terminated Fiber#value - ditto Fiber#run - like Fiber#start (prelude.rb) Right now, it takes over rb_wait_for_single_fd() and rb_waitpid() function if the running Fiber is auto-enabled (cont.c::rb_fiber_auto_sched_p) Changes to existing functions are minimal. New files (all new structs and relations should be documented): iom.h - internal API for the rest of RubyVM (incomplete?) iom_internal.h - internal header for iom_(select|epoll|kqueue).h iom_epoll.h - epoll-specific pieces iom_kqueue.h - kqueue-specific pieces iom_select.h - select-specific pieces iom_pingable_common.h - common code for iom_(epoll|kqueue).h iom_common.h - common footer for iom_(select|epoll|kqueue).h Changes to existing data structures: rb_thread_t.afrunq - list of fibers to auto-resume rb_vm_t.iom - Ruby I/O Manager (rb_iom_t) :) Besides rb_iom_t, all the new structs are stack-only and relies extensively on ccan/list for branch-less, O(1) insert/delete. As usual, understanding the data structures first should help you understand the code. Right now, I reuse some static functions in thread.c, so thread.c includes iom_(select|epoll|kqueue).h TODO: Hijack other blocking functions (IO.select, ...) I am using "double" for timeout since it is more convenient for arithmetic like parts of thread.c. Most platforms have good FP, I think. Also, all "blocking" functions (rb_iom_wait*) will have timeout support. ./configure gains a new --with-iom=(select|epoll|kqueue) switch libkqueue: libkqueue support is incomplete; corner cases are not handled well: 1) multiple fibers waiting on the same FD 2) waiting for both read and write events on the same FD Bugfixes to libkqueue may be necessary to support all corner cases. Supporting these corner cases for native kqueue was challenging, even. See comments on iom_kqueue.h and iom_epoll.h for nuances.
