Feature #8684: GC.disable with block

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 2.1.0

[Glass_saga (Masaki Matsushita)]

I propose GC.disable with block.
It is useful to ensure GC.enable.

usage:

GC.disable do
do_something # GC disabled
end

GC enabled

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

It's easily done by

begin
GC.disable
do_something
ensure
GC.enable
end

and considering block scoping doesn't work well with threads, I don't think it's worth to add as a built-in.
