rubyists-
i’ve got some code for which i need to implement non-blocking io. i do this
so seldomly that i always have to google clr and read about doing it.
considering that ruby’s thread model at times requires nbio it seems like a
‘standard’ method/lib of accomplishing this safely (handling appropriate
signals, etc) should be out there. anyone know of such a beast? right now
i’m looking at
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=io-wait
but would like to avoid c extensions for this particular application.
any reason why something like io-wait would not be included in the standard
dist? portability i’m guessing…
any complete impl of non-blocking io in sources from the RAA that could be
reccomended for study?
thanks.
