Subject: [ruby-talk:17306] Block between DEFER_INTS and ALLOW_INTS

Hi!

What is the meaning if a block of code is between DEFER_INTS and ALLOWINTS.

Example class.c:

DEFER_INTS;

if (FL_TEST(RBASIC(obj)->klass, FL_SINGLETON)) {
        klass = RBASIC(obj)->klass;
}

....

ALLOW_INTS;

Is this something like synchronization in Java?
