Description

https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/trunk/Thread.html#method-c-handle_interrupt

According to the documentation above, Thread#handle_interrupt(Exception => :never) would prevent the interrupts from Thread#kill.

In the following code, however, the Thread#kill seems to just kill the thread immediately even if the thread is instructed to never handle interrupt.

t = Thread.new do
  Thread.handle_interrupt(Exception => :never) do
    puts "thread started"
    sleep 2
    puts "thread end"
  end
end
sleep 1
t.kill
puts "main end"
sleep 2

Outputs

$ ruby test.rb
thread started
main end
$ 

Is the document wrong? Or, implementation not working as expected?

If that is the case, that might also mean the fix in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14998 might not be sufficient.

Document how to handle kill/terminate interrupts in Thread.handle_interrupt

The kill/terminate interrupts are internally handled not as Exception
instances, but as integers. So using Exception doesn't handle these
interrupts, but Object does. You can use Integer if you only want to
handle kill/terminate interrupts, but that's probably more of an
implementation detail, while handling Object should work regardless
of the implementation.

Fixes [Bug #15735]

Updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) almost 3 years ago

I've determined this is just a documentation issue, and there is a way for Thread.handle_interrupt to handle kill/terminate interrupts, which I've committed.

If we handle to allow Exception to include these interrupts, we could do something like this:
