Thread problem...

[mark shennce]

hello,

on the following source i only see once
the msg 'thread 0' and then following endless
'main 1'
'main 2'
....

why does my thread blocks?

mark



require 'thread'

th = Thread.new do
tcnt=0
while 1 do
print "thread " + tcnt.to_s + "\n"
cnt = cnt+1;
Sleep 0.5
#stdout.flush
end
end


while 1 do
cnt=0
print "main " + cnt.to_s + "\n"
sleep 1
end

 

[ts]

Well, add the line

m> require 'thread'

Thread.abort_on_exception = true

m> th = Thread.new do
m> tcnt=0
m> while 1 do
m> print "thread " + tcnt.to_s + "\n"
m> cnt = cnt+1;
m> Sleep 0.5
m> #stdout.flush
m> end
m> end

and ruby will give you the error message

Well, add the line

m> require 'thread'

Thread.abort_on_exception = true
