To make some kind of Ractor related extensions, some functions
should be exposed.
* include/ruby/thread_native.h
* rb_native_mutex_*
* rb_native_cond_*
* include/ruby/ractor.h
* RB_OBJ_SHAREABLE_P(obj)
* rb_ractor_shareable_p(obj)
* rb_ractor_std*()
* rb_cRactor
and rm ractor_pub.h
and rename srcdir/ractor.h to srcdir/ractor_core.h
(to avoid conflict with include/ruby/ractor.h)
Many functions in string.c assume that capa + termlen to be readable
memory. Add comment in header to communicate this to extension authors.

Introduce new method Ractor.make_shareable(obj) which tries to make
obj shareable object. Protocol is here.
(1) If obj is shareable, it is shareable.
(2) If obj is not a shareable object and if obj can be shareable
object if it is frozen, then freeze obj. If obj has reachable
objects (rs), do rs.each{|o| Ractor.make_shareable(o)}
recursively (recursion is not Ruby-level, but C-level).
(3) Otherwise, raise Ractor::Error. Now T_DATA is not a shareable
object even if the object is frozen.
If the method finished without error, given obj is marked as
a sharable object.
To allow makng a shareable frozen T_DATA object, then set
`RUBY_TYPED_FROZEN_SHAREABLE` as type->flags. On default,
this flag is not set. It means user defined T_DATA objects are
not allowed to become shareable objects when it is frozen.
You can make any object shareable by setting FL_SHAREABLE flag,
so if you know that the T_DATA object is shareable (== thread-safe),
set this flag, at creation time for example. `Ractor` object is one
example, which is not a frozen, but a shareable object.
* Support ArithmeticSequence in Array#slice

* Raise a RangeError when an arithmetic sequence refers the outside of an array
[Feature #16812]
This adds the following C-API functions that can be used to emit
warnings with categories included:
```c
void rb_category_warn(const char *, const char*, ...)
void rb_category_warning(const char*, const char*, ...)
```
Internally in error.c, there is an rb_warn_category function
that will call Warning.warn with the string and the category
keyword if it doesn't have an arity of 1, and will call
Warning.warn with just the string if it has an arity of 1.
This refactors the rb_warn_deprecated{,_to_remove} functions
to use rb_warn_category.
This makes Kernel#warn accept a category keyword and pass it
to Warning.warn, so that Ruby methods can more easily emit
warnings with categories. rb_warn_category makes sure that
the passed category is a already defined category symbol
before calling Warning.warn.
The only currently defined warning category is :deprecated,
since that is what is already used. More categories can be
added in later commits.
Since r63443, `-std=gnu99 -D_XOPEN_SOUCE=x00` is added to Solaris'
`CPPFLAGS`. `CPPFLAGS` is shared among `CC` / `CXX`. This results in
both `__STDC_VERSION__` and `__cplusplus` to be defined at the same time
for a C++ compilation, only on Solaris.
It seems the `CPPFLAGS` addition is intentional. We sould not touch
that part. Instead we need to reroute this by always check for
`__cplusplus` first.
* Add buffer protocol
* Modify for some review comments
* Per-object buffer availability
* Rename to MemoryView from Buffer and make compilable
* Support integral repeat count in memory view format
* Support 'x' for padding bytes
* Add rb_memory_view_parse_item_format
* Check type in rb_memory_view_register
* Update dependencies in common.mk
* Add test of MemoryView
* Add test of rb_memory_view_init_as_byte_array
* Add native size format test
* Add MemoryView test utilities
* Add test of rb_memory_view_fill_contiguous_strides
* Skip spaces in format string
* Support endianness specifiers
* Update documentation
* Support alignment
* Use RUBY_ALIGNOF
* Fix format parser to follow the pack format
* Support the _ modifier
* Parse count specifiers in get_format_size function.
* Use STRUCT_ALIGNOF
* Fix test
* Fix test
* Fix total size for the case with tail padding
* Fix rb_memory_view_get_item_pointer
* Fix rb_memory_view_parse_item_format again
Now that RUBY_ALIGNOF behaves like C11's _Alignof. This is not
necessarily the best stack arrangement. We can just give up using
__builtin_alloca_with_align(), and let alloca choose what is optimal.
It is reported that on a system of i386 System V ABI, GCC returns 8 for
__alignof__(double). OTOH the ABI defines alignments of double to be 4,
and ISO/IEC 9899:2011 reads that _Alignof(double) shall return 4 on such
machine. What we want in ruby is 4 instead of 8 there. We cannot use
__alignof__.
Additionally, both old GCC / old clang return 8 for _Alignof(double) on
such platforms. They are their bugs, and already fixed in recent
versions. But we have to support older compilers for a while. Shall
check sanity of _Alignof.
Added `WITH_REAL` versions to `RB_RANDOM_INTERFACE` macros. Also
these macros including "without real" versions no longer contain
the terminator (semicolon and comma).
* random.c: separate abstract rb_random_t and rb_random_mt_t for
Mersenne Twister implementation.
* include/ruby/random.h: the interface for extensions of Random
class.
* DLL imported symbol reference is not constant on Windows.
* check if properly initialized.
This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.
See ticket [Feature #17100] to see the implementation details
and discussions.
[Feature #17100]
This commit does not complete the implementation. You can find
many bugs on using Ractor. Also the specification will be changed
so that this feature is experimental. You will see a warning when
you make the first Ractor with `Ractor.new`.
I hope this feature can help programmers from thread-safety issues.
Commit 7aab062ef3 says:
> ruby_show_version() will no longer exits the process, if
> RUBY_SHOW_COPYRIGHT_TO_DIE is set to 0. This will be the default in
> the future.
3.0 is a good timing for that "future".
