[ruby-core:44206] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5669] Random thread scheduling based on a seed

From: "ko1 (Koichi Sasada)" <redmine@...>
Date: 2012-04-09 02:00:21 UTC
List: ruby-core #44206
Issue #5669 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).


I want to reject it.

reasons:
  (1) It is difficult to implement it in portable way.
  (2) I have a doubt about this idea which can solve threading bugs. 

Any other comments?

Feature #5669: Random thread scheduling based on a seed

Just a little idea that popped into my head:

Would it be possible to have "random" thread scheduling (based on a seed)? E.g. it spends a little more time in different threads than usual?

This would be very useful for discovering subtle threading bugs that's often platform dependent.
