Issue #8660 has been reported by mattconnolly (Matt Connolly). ---------------------------------------- Bug #8660: rb_thread_blocking_region deprecated, no alternative in ruby.h https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8660 Author: mattconnolly (Matt Connolly) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: ruby -v: 2.0.0-p247 Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN In "ruby/intern.h", the function declaration for `rb_thread_blocking_region` is deprecated. The comment says "Use rb_thread_call_without_gvl family instead", yet there are no functions from that family in the header that can be used by extensions. Should the method `rb_thread_call_without_gvl` be included in the header "ruby/intern.h" ? -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
