There should be a minor, but not significant slowdowns in single-threaded performance similar to benchmarks around the more-portable stat(2): [ruby-core:83012] [Bug #13941] Tested on both 64-bit and 32-bit x86; will commit in a few days if no feedback; and there's still a few stat(2) calls in other places which can be converted to release GVL... ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-file.c-release-GVL-around-lstat-2.patch (3.2 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
