Thanks for your feedback. > About "extendable api" vs "implicit behavior" (ie between your proposal > for "Thread.scheduler=' and replacing "Thread" with green implementation), > I'd prefer "implicit behavior". > Because, there were already EM::Synchrony, there were ... ah I've already forgot what there were. > If it is not part of internal behavior, there always will be non-compatible libraries. I don't see how that comparison applies to this PR. Because it's completely transparent to higher level code. There is no way you can not be compatible with this PR if you use standard Ruby IO. Can you give me an example where this isn't true? > Note, that changing Thread to green in CRuby in fact more compatible with other implementations, > because other implementation could still have only native threads, and they still will work. > Ie JRuby may safely not change their Thread implementation to be green, and all libraries, that > uses threads, will still work on JRuby, because api will not change.

It has non trivial costs both in performance and programmer sanity. Programmer sanity is much more important to me than performance, but performance is very important too. In my experience, most people don't care about lower level. They just want a nice high level library. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13618: [PATCH] auto fiber schedule for rb_wait_for_single_fd and rb_waitpid https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13618#change-72828 * 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.
