5 thread_sched.h - data structures of the thread/ractor scheduler
6
7 The scheduler itself lives in thread_sched.c and is shared by every
8 platform. This header holds the types it works on; it is included from
9 the platform header (thread_pthread.h / thread_win32.h), which adds the
10 platform specific members and the thread local storage plumbing.
11
12 == platform primitive layer ==
13
14 thread_sched.c is built on top of the following, which the platform
15 implementation (THREAD_IMPL_SRC) has to provide before including it:
16
17 * rb_native_mutex_*() / rb_native_cond_*() (ruby/thread_native.h)
18 * native_thread_create0() / native_thread_destroy() and friends
19 * native_thread_interrupt() -- poke a thread out of a blocking call
20 * timer_thread_polling() -- the timer thread's blocking wait
21 * timer_thread_wakeup_force() -- wake that wait up
22 * TIMER_THREAD_CREATED_P()
23 * USE_MN_THREADS -- 1 enables the M:N scheduler
24 (when 0 the platform supplies the stubs listed at the bottom of
25 thread_sched_mn.c)
