From: "ioquatix (Samuel Williams) via ruby-core" Date: 2025-05-24T13:57:36+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:122277] [Ruby Bug#21371] Proposal to Remove SPARC Architecture Support from Ruby Issue #21371 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21371: Proposal to Remove SPARC Architecture Support from Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21371 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- We propose removing support for the SPARC architecture from Ruby. SPARC has seen little to no community usage in recent years, and its continued presence in the codebase���particularly through special cases like rb_sparc_flush_register_windows���adds complexity without clear benefit. Removing SPARC support will reduce maintenance overhead and simplify Ruby���s internals. ## Proposal We propose removing all SPARC-specific code from the Ruby source tree, including `rb_sparc_flush_register_windows` and related build system conditionals. This change would be noted in the release documentation and targeted for inclusion in Ruby 4.0. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
