Issue #8215 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams).


@eregon I agree with your points. I respect that you've studied a lot in your thesis so ultimately I'll defer to your judgement. But let me explain a bit more.

The reason for expanding the `Fiber#` interface is so that tools like `async` can show better debugging of all fibers.

Ideally it can show the backtrace, and allow the user to check fiber locals (and maybe even get a list of keys for debugging purposes).

I'd also be okay with adding `Fiber.[]` and so on, but that's kind of a separate issue.

Thread safety is not my concern, the function can be marked as thread unsafe, and maybe we can add detection of this and warn against it.

Feature #8215: Support accessing Fiber-locals and backtraces for a Fiber

As part of debugging celluloid, I have been wanting to diagnose where the Fibers are running and their various locals.

I would expect the following to work.

  Thread.current[:key] = "outside"
  fiber = Fiber.new do
    Thread.current[:key] = "inside"
    Fiber.yield
  end
  fiber.resume
  fiber[:key] == "inside" # true
  fiber.backtrace # ...

I also wonder whether (({Fiber#[]})) should be implemented, so (({Fiber.current[:key]})) is possible.

For reference, here is the issue on the rubinius issue tracker: ((<"github/rubinius/rubinius/2200"|URL:https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/issues/2200>))
