[ruby-core:116275] [Ruby master Feature#20102] Introduce `Fiber#resuming?`

Issue #20102 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


It appears to me that the method you want is to determine if an exception can legitimately be sent to the fiber. I am not rejecting the addition of such a method, but in that case, I think the name `resuming?` would be inappropriate. Any other name candidate?

Feature #20102: Introduce `Fiber#resuming?`

There are some tricky edge cases when using `Fibre#raise` and `Fiber#kill`, e.g.

```ruby
fiber = nil

killer = Fiber.new do
  fiber.raise("Stop")
end

fiber = Fiber.new do
  killer.resume
end

fiber.resume
# 4:in `raise': attempt to raise a resuming fiber (FiberError)
# 4:in `block in <main>'
```

Async has to deal with this edge case explicitly by rescuing the exception:

https://github.com/socketry/async/blob/ffd019d9c1d547926a28fe8f36bf7bfe91d8a168/lib/async/task.rb#L226-L233

I'd like to avoid doing that and instead just ask "Can I kill/raise on this fiber right now?" which is determined by whether the fiber itself can be resumed or transferred to.

To address this, I'd like to introduce `Fiber#resuming?`:

```c
/*
 *  call-seq: fiber.resumed? -> true or false
 *
 *  Whether the fiber is currently resumed.
 */
VALUE
rb_fiber_resuming_p(VALUE fiber_value)
{
    struct rb_fiber_struct *fiber = fiber_ptr(fiber_value);

    if (FIBER_TERMINATED_P(fiber)) return RUBY_Qfalse;

    return RBOOL(fiber->resuming_fiber);
}
```
