Subject: [ruby-core:59793] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9420] [Open] warn and puts	should be atomic

Issue #9420 has been reported by Eric Wong.

----------------------------------------
Feature #9420: warn and puts should be atomic
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9420

* Author: Eric Wong
* Status: Open
* Priority: Low
* Assignee: 
* Category: core
* Target version: current: 2.2.0
----------------------------------------
Since we added use of writev in r44618, we should make warn/puts atomic.
It would make development of multiprocess/multithreaded processes easier,
I think it was intended to be atomic based on old comments in io.c:

-       /*
-        * xxx: use writev to avoid double write if available
-        * writev may help avoid context switch between "a" and "\n" in
-        * STDERR.puts "a" [ruby-dev:25080] (rebroken since native threads
-        * introduced in 1.9)
-        */
