I don't think it should. Ok, I can't count...it does run through one full iteration and then probably fails because the autoload doesn't actually load anything. But then it still fails a hundred iterations later, so something's still not right. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12688: Thread unsafety in autoload https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12688#change-60618 * Author: Charles Nutter * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: 2.3.0 * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I need clarification here. I expected, based on Ruby's assertion that autoloads are thread-safe, that the following code would never error. Instead, it gets a couple iterations in and raises NameError: ```ruby loop do class Foo autoload :Bar, 'bar.rb' end go = false threads = (1..50).map {Thread.new { 1 until go; print '.'; Foo.const_get(:Bar) }} go = true threads.each(&:join) puts self.class.send :remove_const, :Foo end ``` And the output with Ruby 2.3.0: ``` $ ruby23 -I. autoload_breaker.rb .................................................. ..................................................autoload_breaker.rb:7:in `const_get': uninitialized constant Foo::Bar (NameError) Did you mean? Foo::Bar from autoload_breaker.rb:7:in `block (3 levels) in
' ``` Is there something wrong with my script? Is my expectation incorrect? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
