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


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?

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.
