ruby-talk

Hi all ,
      I am using following gems .

    gem1.8 list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.3.2)
actionpack (2.3.2)
activesupport (2.3.2)
ruby-ole (1.2.8.2)
ruby-serialport (0.7.0)
spreadsheet (0.6.3.1)
xml-simple (1.0.12)

     I am using modem . By using the serialport I am accessing the modem
port .

while using the <modemobject>.sysread or read get blocked although I
set <modemobject>.read_timeout = -1

But in fork it is working properly .

log is ,irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true

My guess is that serialport library has no way of knowing if it has any
data incoming [it has to poll until data arrives?]
If that's the case, then you might could use fork plus some of the
excellent fork libraries available
http://allgems.ruby-forum.com/gems?search=fork or you'd need to "fix"
serialport so that it's 1.9 compatible, and then wrap its read call in
an rb_thread_blocking_region, so that it allows other threads to
operate.

No I am using frok only . It is working fine no problem .

Also while traping simultaneous SIGCLD also it does not working properly
.

Please fix it and makes rubyserial compactable with thread and Traping
signal .

cheers,

You are passing in the same object to different threads. So the
threads call methods on the same object.

Try creating a SerialPort.new inside the thread.

With fork, you generate a seperate ruby process with seperate objects.

I have to inform you another problem . Al though I am using Thread for
one serial
port let us say /dev/ttyPS0 .

It is blocking another serial devive /dev/ttyPS2 . I could not
understand why thread is blocking another serial device too while using
serialport library .

Please go through the attached source code . For your reference .

Are they both being read from within the same process, in different threads?
