Subject: Re: basic threading question: can ruby use real threads?

If you fork, is there even a way to create objects that are shared
between the two forks?  Or do you have to rely on rpc/ipc stuff
instead?


If someone were to... write a c extension who's objects were threaded,
via pthreads, would it be a nightmare?

Even just typing that line almost scares me....but I can think of some
clean(ish?) ways of doing it.  I'm just worried I'd loose the rubyness
of the thing if I did it that way.

Thanks,
