Here is a brief overview of one possible plan: - We remove IA64 from 2.7. - We retain IA64 in 2.6 which has a theoretical EOL date in 2022. That's 5 years past the last date of the CPU being manufactured, and 3 years past the architecture EOL (2019). ---------------------------------------- Feature #15894: Remove support for IA64 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15894#change-78393 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- There are many `#ifdef __ia64` in Ruby code base. At one point it must have been supported. But as an architecture, it's EOL (Jan 30th 2019). Last CPU was released in 2017. I can't even buy 2nd hand CPU for testing. So, I propose we remove support for IA64. The main motivation for me personally is I want to simplify and improve fiber implementation. But it's impossible for me to test IA64 architecture. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
