similar to: fastthread 1.0

I just realized -- if fastthread can be included while Mutex-using code is already running, then the definition and replacement of the classes needs to happen atomically. Otherwise, it creates a race condition where a thread can e.g. end up seeing an incompletely defined Mutex class or none at all. fastthread 0.6.1 addresses this by defining the classes and then atomically swapping the constant

I''m confused. Wasn''t threading fixed in 1.8.6, negating the need for fastthread? Why is fastthread still a requirement of Mongrel? Just curious. :)

It looks like I got too creative in 0.6.1 and consequently ran afoul of a bug in the Ruby interpreter. 0.6.2 works around the bug and should be entirely stable at this point. Thanks to Young Hyun for his help in coming up with test cases. == what? fastthread is a Ruby library which provides a faster (and non-memory-leaking) C implementation of the concurrency primitives from stdlib''s

Hi, A quick search didn''t explain what fastthread is, and how it relates to mongrel. Why would I want to install fastthread? Thanks, Joe

== NOW A new version of fastthread, the library providing better implementations of the classes in thread.rb, has been released. Please note that fastthread is only for Ruby 1.8, not JRuby or any other Ruby implementation (most of them don''t need it anyway!). == WHY The existing implementation of Mutex, Queue, etc. in thread.rb is slow. fastthread''s is faster (and bypasses

Heya Folks- This is mainly for Zed and Mentalguy. I have been playing with the new release of rubygems 0.9.0.8 and I have a major problem with the requirement that fastthread needs to be required before thread. Just requiring rubygems and then requiring fastthread right after that will throw the error: ez _blog $ ruby require ''rubygems'' require

Just a quick note that I''ve committed the bits for fastthread 0.5; the most important differences are that all the thread.rb classes are once again marshallable, and we''ve got Luis'' commit which eliminates some warnings when building on Win32. -mental -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I''ve just committed the makings of fastthread-1.0.2 to SVN, fixing a couple long-standing bugs in 1.0.1: - merged the fix from ruby_1_8 to avoid rb_bugging during exit with waiting threads - SizedQueue#enq is now defined properly Could you or whoever does the signed gems please turn the crank and upload the new gems? Thanks, -mental -------------- next part -------------- A

I''ve just committed fastthread 0.5.3, which finally gives us a working SizedQueue (which hadn''t really ever worked in previous versions). Mostly it was just a matter of refactoring Queue and SizedQueue into a single class behind the scenes, so I could move the signalling of the SizedQueue-specific condition variable inside the queue''s critical section. Failing to do so

Hi All, I have an app making extensive use of Mutex and was concerned about the memory leak I have read about. I saw some sample code to reproduce the problem here: http://pastie.caboo.se/10194 So I thought I would run it myself to see the problem. I do not see a memory leak when using the sample code, but if I require "fastthread" before "thread" using fastthread (0.6.4.1)

With Mongrel 0.3.18, I have not seen a single one of the hangs that I have been grousing about for the past N weeks. Thanks MenTaLguY and Zed! Q: Mongrel loads fastthread, Mongrel loads Rails, Rails loads OCI8, OCI8 requires ''thread''. That means OCI8 is using fastthread too, right? Steve

Hi guys, I''ve been running mongrel for a while now with Ruby 1.8.4, and last week upgraded to 1.8.6. Since upgrading, each morning when I wake up there''s a big problem: 1. Accessing the site returns a "500 Internal Server Error" 2. All the mongrel_rails processes are still running, but none of them are active (when I run top) 3. Lighttpd and pound are still

All, Mongrel 1.1.3 Rails 2.0.2 Ruby 1.8.6 Windows XP SP2 When I issue the command "ruby script/server" from any of my Rails projects on v. 2.0.2, I get a Windows dialog with the error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I''ve gone through the process of attempting to introduce

Hi, I can''t install Mongrel on Ruby 1.8.6 (patchlevel 279), using Windows XP. My environment: C:\ruby18>gem environment RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.2.0 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2008-07-17 patchlevel 279) [i386-mingw32] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: c:/ruby18/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: c:/ruby18/bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: c:/ruby18/bin -

Is anybody testing mongrel on ruby 1.9. I just tried installing mongrel on trunk 1.9 and trunk rubygems and got this error compiling fastthread: /Users/stephen/dev/ruby/1.9_trunk/bin/ruby extconf.rb install mongrel --no-rdoc creating Makefile make gcc -I. -I/Users/stephen/dev/ruby/1.9_trunk/include/ruby-1.9/i686-darwin8.10.1 -I/Users/stephen/dev/ruby/1.9_trunk/include/ruby-1.9 -I.

If there were a project to integrate Hobix with Camping, should it be called ShantyTown? Thanks, -mental

It looks like fastthread was rolled into 1.8.6: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/tags/v1_8_6/NEWS?revision=12055&view=markup Does that mean once we upgrade to 186 we can forget about rubygem version? - Rob

I''m running a site that gets ~30k to 40k page hits per day. In the last 4 days my mongrel processes have been jumping into high CPU usage a couple of times a day to the point where my site becomes unresponsive (database on a diff machine with no load). The only way for me to resolve the problem and reduce load on the machine is to delete my rails cache directory (I have plenty of space

Hello Everyone, We''re hard at work getting the hot new win32 service Luis wrote out and ready for production. We''re hoping to have that included in the 1.0 RC1 release we make very soon. This pre-release is just to make sure that we didn''t step on any toes. Install it with: $ gem install fastthread --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases $ gem install
