[ruby-core:115669] [Ruby master Feature#20053] M:N Threads, now w/ macOS support (kqueue)

Issue #20053 has been reported by jpcamara (JP Camara). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20053: M:N Threads, now w/ macOS support (kqueue) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20053 * Author: jpcamara (JP Camara) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I have a PR here that adds support for macOS to M:N threads using `kqueue`: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9178 It adds in `kqueue`/`kevent` calls when present in the OS. Technically this would open up support for FreeBSD as well, but I don't have a way of testing that so i'm not sure how well it does or doesn't work there. I wanted to get support going for macOS so more devs can try out M:N threads and test it. I do think there should be a larger discussion around the potential relationship between this and some of the awesome fiber scheduler work over the last few years (and the potential of utilizing anything from io-event?). But that can be a topic for another day - let's get macOS support in the meantime! Disclaimer: C isn't my day-to-day language, so I could definitely use feedback there. I'm also more of a kernel event queue (kqueue, epoll, io_uring) _enthusiast_, but `kqueue` isn't something I have specific experience writing with - just lots of reading code and small toy code up until this point. So someone like @ioquatix would probably be a good person to get eyes on it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115813] [Ruby master Feature#18576] Rename `ASCII-8BIT` encoding to `BINARY`
by naruse (Yui NARUSE) 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

Issue #18576 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE). I strongly object that we change Encoding#name of ASCII-8BIT encoding into "BINARY" because of compatibility. I don't want people to fix the code which are correctly running now. However supporting people who newly writing a code is reasonable. I agree to add more information in Encoding#inspect and error message. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18576: Rename `ASCII-8BIT` encoding to `BINARY` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18576#change-105762 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Target version: 3.4 ---------------------------------------- ### Context I'm now used to it, but something that confused me for years was errors such as: ```ruby >> "fée" + "\xFF".b (irb):3:in `+': incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT (Encoding::CompatibilityError) ``` When you aren't that familiar with Ruby, it's really not evident that `ASCII-8BIT` basically means "no encoding" or "binary". And even when you know it, if you don't read carefully it's very easily confused with `US-ASCII`. The `Encoding::BINARY` alias is much more telling IMHO. ### Proposal Since `Encoding::ASCII_8BIT` has been aliased as `Encoding::BINARY` for years, I think renaming it to `BINARY` and then making asking `ASCII_8BIT` the alias would significantly improve usability without backward compatibility concerns. The only concern I could see would be the consistency with a handful of C API functions: - `rb_encoding *rb_ascii8bit_encoding(void)` - `int rb_ascii8bit_encindex(void)` - `VALUE rb_io_ascii8bit_binmode(VALUE io)` But that's for much more advanced users, so I don't think it's much of a concern. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
