To reduce resource use and reduce CI failure; remove
timer-thread. Single-threaded Ruby processes (including forked
children) will never see extra thread overhead. This prevents
glibc and jemalloc from going into multi-threaded mode and
initializing locks or causing fragmentation via arena explosion.
The GVL is implements its own wait-queue as a ccan/list to
permit controlling wakeup order. Timeslice under contention is
handled by a designated timer thread (similar to choosing a
"patrol_thread" for current deadlock checking).
There is only one self-pipe, now, as wakeups for timeslice are
done independently using condition variables. This reduces FD
pressure slightly.
Signal handling is handled directly by a Ruby Thread (instead
of timer-thread) by exposing signal self-pipe to callers of
rb_thread_fd_select, native_sleep, rb_wait_for_single_fd, etc...
Acquiring, using, and releasing the self-pipe is exposed via 4
new internal functions:
1) rb_sigwait_fd_get - exclusively acquire timer_thread_pipe.normal[0]
2) rb_sigwait_fd_sleep - sleep and wait for signal (and no other FDs)
3) rb_sigwait_fd_put - release acquired result from rb_sigwait_fd_get
4) rb_sigwait_fd_migrate - migrate signal handling to another thread
after calling rb_sigwait_fd_put.
rb_sigwait_fd_migrate is necessary for waitpid callers because
only one thread can wait on self-pipe at a time, otherwise a
deadlock will occur if threads fight over the self-pipe.
TRAP_INTERRUPT_MASK is now set for the main thread directly in
signal handler via rb_thread_wakeup_timer_thread.
Originally, I wanted to use POSIX timers
(timer_create/timer_settime) for this. Unfortunately, this
proved unfeasible as Mutex#sleep resumes on spurious wakeups and
test/thread/test_cv.rb::test_condvar_timed_wait failed. Using
pthread_sigmask to mask out SIGVTALRM fixed that test, but
test/fiddle/test_function.rb::test_nogvl_poll proved there'd be
some unavoidable (and frequent) incompatibilities from that
approach.
Finally, this allows us to drop thread_destruct_lock and
interrupt current ec directly.
We don't need to rely on vm->thread_destruct_lock or a coherent
vm->running_thread on any platform. Separate timer-thread for
time slice and signal handling is relegated to thread_win32.c,
now.

What's Ruby
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, Haiku, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/doc/contributing.rdoc#platform-maintainers
How to get Ruby
For a complete list of ways to install Ruby, including using third-party tools like rvm, see:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
The trunk of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ svn co https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ ruby
Or if you are using git then use the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
There are some other branches under development. Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ svn ls https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/
Or if you are using git then use the following command:
$ git ls-remote https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git

How to compile and install
This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile Ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
If
./configuredoes not exist or is older thanconfigure.ac, runautoconfto (re)generate configure. -
Run
./configure, which will generateconfig.handMakefile.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..andwarnflags=..as necessary to override them. -
Edit
defines.hif you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Remove comment mark(
#) before the module names fromext/Setup(or add module names if not present), if you want to link modules statically.If you don't want to compile non static extension modules (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic" inext/Setup.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make.- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
rubybinary. See also codesign(1).
- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.

-
Optionally, run '
make check' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded", your Ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Optionally, run
make update-gemsandmake extract-gems.If you want to install bundled gems, run
make update-gemsandmake extract-gemsbefore runningmake install. -
Run '
make install'.This command will create the following directories and install files into them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}is 'x', the${MINOR}is 'y', and the${TEENY}is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install Ruby.
If you fail to compile Ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
