RE: Re[2]: [FR-devel] Integrating the Source Browser

[Curt Hibbs]

I just searched the ripper source for this and got:

Searching for "rb_thread_pass"...
R:\ripper055\ripper.y (2307): extern VALUE rb_thread_pass _((void));
R:\ripper055\ripper.y (2327):         rb_thread_pass();
2 occurence(s) found.

Here is the single use in context:

static VALUE
ripper_parse(argc, argv, self)
    int argc;
    VALUE *argv;
    VALUE self;
{
    struct ruby_parser *parser;
    struct rip_arg arg;

    Data_Get_Struct(self, struct ruby_parser, parser);

    while (parser->parsing) {
        rb_thread_pass();
    }
    parser->parsing = 1;
    arg.parser = parser;
    arg.argc = argc;
    arg.argv = argv;
    return rb_ensure(rip_do_parse, (VALUE)(&arg),
                     rip_ensure, (VALUE)parser);
}

It looks like its just trying to give time slices to other threads while it
is parsing. Is there some other function we could call instead?

We could just comment out the call because, for this release, we were going
to just invoke the parser manually anyway (so the user would expect some
sort of delay after pressing a "refresh" button).
