Fastthread now default in ruby_1_8

Ruby
1

Hi,

I have just finished integrating MenTaLguY’s fastthread mutex
implementation into the ruby_1_8 branch.

The original, pure ruby version of lib/thread is still available as a
configure option `–disable-fastthread’ so you can alternate the two.

If you find any compatibility problems or unexpected behavior with the
new implementation, please let me know.

As I tend to be out of sync with ruby-talk, make sure to add
ruby-core@ruby-lang to To/Cc on reply.

Regards,

The version of fastthread which was merged doesn’t handle interrupted
waits correctly, which can result in an rb_bug().

Please see Ruby bug #8663:

A patch to fix the issue is attached (also posted to the bug tracker).
