Issue #21821 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).

IOW, I think we should have performance numbers here and implemented use cases that pass the relevant test suites

Yes that's fair. I meant to re-implement the `redis-client` pool using `Thread::Queue` as a proof of concept, but didn't get around to it yet. ---------------------------------------- Feature #21821: Add Stack and SizedStack classes https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21821#change-116073 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Target version: 4.1 ---------------------------------------- ### Context `Queue` and `SizedQueue` are very useful and performant constructs, however they only allow for FIFO queues. Some use cases do call for LIFO queues AKA stacks. For instance, in the case of connection pool, it's often preferable to use a stack. ### Feature I'd like to introduce `Stack` and `SizedStack` classes, to mirror `Queue` and `SizedQueue`. They'd have exactly the same method and behavior at the exception of dequeuing order. ### Thread namespace? Currently `Queue` and `SizedQueue` are technically defined under `Thread` and aliased in `Object`. I wonder if that's something we should do for `Stack` too, or just some historical thing we shouldn't perpetuate. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
