Bug in Ruby Ext to C or it is me?

Compile this, link it with ruby lib, execute with a small
ruby program like this one :

puts "Hello World from main Ruby Thread"

And explain why there is a core dump !

– jc

#include <ruby.h>
#include <unistd.h>

static VALUE request_thread (void * data)
{
while (1) {
printf (“thread begin\n”);
sleep(1);
printf(“Thread end\n”);
rb_thread_schedule();
}
return Qtrue;
}

int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
ruby_init();
ruby_options(argc, argv);
rb_thread_create (request_thread, NULL);

ruby_run();

return 0;
}

I think this should be:
static VALUE request_thread(void * data, void * th);

I think it would be nice if in intern.h rb_thread_create were declared
to take a function pointer to a function taking two pointers, instead of
taking ANYARGS. The ruby API is more type-safe than it used to be, but
still leaves something to be desired when it comes to type safety with
function pointers.

It works for me. Could you tell me about your platform and the
version of Ruby you’re using.

Worked cleanly.

I bet you have compiled with stack-frame-pointer ommision turned on. This is done with -fomit-frame-pointer in gcc, and is the default with MSVC when you choose the “Maximise Speed” optimisation. Frame-pointer ommision does not work with ruby exceptions or threads.

I usually use gcc with that option, rather it may be concerned
with platform and compiler version.

Platform Solaris Compiler cc (natif Sun Compiler)
Tru-OS-64 Compiler cc (natif Compaq/HP Conpiler)

I’ll try it on Linux and with gcc.
