[Quickfix-developers] quickfix, ruby, and threads

[Dan M. <da...@co...>]

Hi,

I'm new to both Quickfix and Ruby so forgive me if I'm missing something
basic, but it doesn't look like threading is working in Ruby.

In executor.rb, if you add a 

print "hello\n"

after line 103, acceptor.start, the "hello" never gets printed.
Similarly, a print statement after an initiator.start call in a client
never gets called.  Everything else works fine -- I've successfully set
up executor with a client, and they heartbeat correctly.

Modifying the C++ version of executor, the print statements work.  I've
also tested non-Quickfix-related threading in Ruby, and that seems to
work fine.

I'm using Quickfix 1.12.4 compiled with Ruby and MySQL support on a
Linux Fedora Core 3 (with gcc 3.4.4) system.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan
