there is an --enable-threading configure parameter for ruby, which is not the --enable-pthread according to http://objectmix.com/ruby/331572-native-threads-ruby.html --enable-threading should eable native thread mode i'd like to be able to be able to build ruby with --enable-threading --disable-pthread thanks Reproducible: Always
The only reference I found to that parameter is that discussion (including a grep through the Ruby source package). I admit that I haven't done much multithreaded programming, but isn't pthreads as native as you'll get? From what I understand, the Linux version of pthreads is NPTL included with glibc and that's the "native" threading system.
We now have Ruby 1.9.1 which uses native threads. Please use this if you need them.
