Hiya
ext/gdbm and multiple readers at a time
I sent this to ruby-core but got no answer. I guess I generated too
much noise in the past there (Jenkins & hashes) :-P
However, I'd like to know if the following is sensible. I need
concurrent access to a GDBM database and the following seems to make
the trick.
---
man gdbm says
A process that opens a gdbm file is designated as a "reader" or a
"writer". Only one writer may open a gdbm file and many readers
============
may open the file. Readers and writers can not open the gdbm
file at the same time.
However the gdbm extension didn't seem to allow that.
I ended up doing the following:

Now I can do
require 'gdbm'
GDBM.open("something.db", GDBM::READER) do |db|
.... = db["bla"]
end
in several processes/threads at a time.
My patch is so simple there must be something wrong about it, otherwise
it'd be in Ruby already :-P
