07:49 AM Ruby Feature #22400: Use rb_long_t for lengths so that String and Array can exceed 2GiB on mswin

> Were completely different names considered, such as len?
Also the natural type to go for would be `size_t`, so `rb_size_t` would make more sense than `rb_long_t`? But then there's the sign difference... byroot (Jean Boussier)

04:13 PM Ruby Bug #22406: Process.fork can leave the child unable to resolve hostnames: getaddrinfo helper threads take glibc's resolver lock after releasing the fork lock

> If that sounds acceptable, I can put this version up as a second PR so the two can be compared.
Yes please do. I think your proposal is fine, but it's always easier to reason about it with the code. byroot (Jean Boussier)

11:56 AM Ruby Bug #22406: Process.fork can leave the child unable to resolve hostnames: getaddrinfo helper threads take glibc's resolver lock after releasing the fork lock

> it would be a problem if they were only joined when a fork happens.
In my mind we're regularly do non blocking join, e.g. whenever we start a new name resolution, or finish one. So it would be self cleaning. byroot (Jean Boussier)

07:38 AM Ruby Bug #22406: Process.fork can leave the child unable to resolve hostnames: getaddrinfo helper threads take glibc's resolver lock after releasing the fork lock

> rework the PR that way if you'd prefer it.
I personally prefer that option, as adding code that depends on things marked as deprecated scares me a bit. But if @mame feels strongly otherwise I'm ok with it. byroot (Jean Boussier)

I'm trying to figure out whether this is even public API, as in, will this break under us in a couple years.

06:57 AM Ruby Feature #22400: Use rb_long_t for lengths so that String and Array can exceed 2GiB on mswin

> What do you think?
I think I'd be worth trying for a preview (there was no 4.1.0preview this year?) as to see what the blast radius really is.
Other than that, I wonder if one avenue could be to have this be a build flag first, a... byroot (Jean Boussier)
