Forum: Ruby Re: Ruby Multithreaded producer-consumer problem

Can you show the MonitorMixin complete error? Im finding it interesting
that its still deadlocking with MM in place. Not sure I have a solution,
but before I broach it, Id like to see the full trace if possible.

I rewrote the code using MonitorMixin and then back to using Mutex, same
result. I used 2 ConditionVariable, same result :( If it's not working,
it's certainly not for the lack of trying.

I posted it in my original post. I am not sure of the difference between 
the mailing list and online forum but it's creating a helluva confusion 
for me.

MM vs. Monitor only helps with reentrancy. Deadlocks are usually an
issue which can be solved by imposing a fixed order of lock
acquisition.
