C API updates
-
IO
rb_thread_fd_closeis deprecated and now a no-op. If you need to expose file descriptors from C extensions to Ruby code, create anIOinstance usingRUBY_IO_MODE_EXTERNALand userb_io_close(io)to close it (this also interrupts and waits for all pending operations on theIOinstance). Directly closing file descriptors does not interrupt pending operations, and may lead to undefined behaviour. In other words, if twoIOobjects share the same file descriptor, closing one does not affect the other. [Feature #18455]
