[Rubycocoa-talk] RBCocoaInstallRubyThreadSchedulerHooks: couldn't find autoreleasePool

[Benjamin J. <bhj...@gm...>]

Hi all,

We are embedding RubyCococa and the patched libruby with standaloneify, and
it works out of the box on 95% of the machines, but some of our users have
been getting crashes due to problems with ruby threads:

"RBCocoaInstallRubyThreadSchedulerHooks: couldn't find autoreleasePool ivar"

Also seeing a warning about ruby threads not being able to be used without
patches to the ruby interpreter.

Can anyone suggest what might be going on here, and if there might be
something specific to the users' setup which is FUBAR-ing RubyCocoa? I'm
certain that I'm linking against my own version of libruby, as the same
program works on Tiger machines out of the box with no changes to the
installed ruby.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Some more information:
I just recompiled ruby 1.8.6 out of the box with the patch applied, as well
as updating RC to the trunk and recompiling as described in the wiki for
running on both Tiger and Leopard.

My output after running standaloneify from otool -L:

http://pastie.textmate.org/private/3umxwejpjybbwwu2epya

Looks to me like everything's linked as it should be.

On any leopard machine, the "RBCocoaInstallRubyThreadSchedulerHooks:
couldn't find autoreleasePool ivar" error appears and the app is working
with a non-patched ruby.

Any help or pointers to information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Ben

Some more information:
The warning I'm getting is due to some conditional code which compiles
differently if the target is Tiger starting at RBRuntime.m:527.

I imagine this wasn't caught before as few people are building for both
Tiger and Leopard and also using threads.

I tried compiling on Leopard (10.5.0) as suggested by Mr. Kimura in an
earlier thread on rubycocoa-devel, and was unable to compile it with the
specified flags:

ruby install.rb config    --macosx-deployment-target=10.4
 --build-universal=yes \
--sdkroot=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

When running setup, this configuration gave the following error, both on the
head of the trunk and the revision referred to in the thread (r2131). :

ld: library not found for -lffi

Satoshi Nakagawa was also able to verify this error on 10.5.1

Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] RBCocoaInstallRubyThreadSchedulerHooks: couldn't find autoreleasePool

If you're seeing this message when running on 10.5 a RubyCocoa app  
that embeds a RubyCocoa framework built in 10.4, then it's expected.

The threading support for 10.4 is not compatible with the support in  
10.5, and vice-versa.

Currently the 2 different code paths are separated during compilation,  
but we could select them at runtime instead, which would allow the  
same RubyCocoa framework built for 10.4 to run on both 10.4 and 10.5.
