Hah sorry about that, I completely misread the sentence. I would suggest changing the docs to be a bit more clear that this is different than `Thread.abort_on_exception=` (though it is logical). Maybe something like: ~~~ When set to true, the process (including all threads and the main thread) will abort if an uncaught exception is raised in this thr. ~~~ Unfortunately, I'm not the only one that didn't quite understand the docs: https://github.com/reevoo/fluent-plugin-systemd/pull/15 ---------------------------------------- Bug #12847: Documentation of instance method Thread.abort_on_exception= is wrong https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12847#change-60930 * Author: Mike Kaplinskiy * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The documentation for the instance method says that the setting is global: https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.0/Thread.html#method-i-abort_on_exception-3D: ~~~ When set to true, all threads (including the main program) will abort if an exception is raised in this thr. ~~~ That's actually incorrect - the instance-level setting affects only the thread it was set on; it's not global. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
