こんな感じ。MPI Rubyで動かないってことですね。でも、言われて

|Hi Matz,
|
|I must compliment you on your excellent language Ruby which I use
|enthusiastically at work.  I have noticed that there seems to be a
|bug with thread scheduling and cleanup, and have found a fix which
|may be useful to you.  In particular, I am using MPI Ruby, which works
|fine until the program cleans up ready to exit, and then segfaults.
|I am working against the latest CVS snapshot, Ruby version 1.8.0.
|After adding the two lines I detail below to eval.c, I find that MPI-Ruby
|works fine as hoped.  Please look for 'cilibrar' marker.
|
|Best regards,
|

|In eval.c, two lines are added; the first is in rb_thread_remove,
|on line 7909:
|static void
|rb_thread_remove(th)
|    rb_thread_t th;
|{
|    if (th->status == THREAD_KILLED) return;
|
|    rb_thread_ready(th);
|    rb_thread_die(th);
|    if (th->status == THREAD_KILLED) return; /* cilibrar */
|    th->prev->next = th->next;
|    th->next->prev = th->prev;
|}
|This double check is necessary, because a thread may be killed extraneously.
|
|Secondly, on line 8937 in rb_thread_start_0:
|   rb_thread_schedule();
|   exit(0); /* cilibrar */
|   return 0;\\/* not reached */
|
|This seems helpful because the not-reached part of code can be reached
|on termination of last Ruby thread.
