[ruby-core:65618] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10344] [PATCH] Implement Fiber#raise

Issue #10344 has been updated by Knut Franke.


For some more sophisticated examples, see https://github.com/nome/coroutines. The library does work with vanilla Ruby, but the patch improves performance.

Also, similar code can be simplified by using Fiber#raise. Compare e.g. the two implementation of Consumer::Yielder#await at
https://github.com/nome/coroutines/blob/master/lib/coroutines/base.rb

----------------------------------------
While it is possible to implement this in pure Ruby (by wrapping Fiber.yield and Fiber#resume), this feels like a low-level feature that ought to be provided out of the box. Also, the C implementation is more straight-forward, and more efficient. Unfortunately, it is not quite possible to implement this as a C extension module (without resorting to wrappers again); cf. the change to make_passing_arg().

Example usage:

~~~
fib = Fiber.new do
  counter = 0
  loop { counter += Fiber.yield }
  counter
end
fib.resume
fib.resume 10
fib.resume 100
fib.raise StopIteration # => 110
~~~
