Fix Thrift 0.2.0 Installation with Ruby 1.9.1
When I try the command "gem install thrift" with Ruby 1.9.1, I got a compilation error with something related to a C function "strlcpy()".
Then I searched the web. It seems I am not alone and the community know it.
However I do not want to wait for official update, I want to try Cassandra and Thrift is a dependency I have to use now.
So, read on if you want a dirty fix.
Start command line console and run:
$ gem install thrift
If you got the error with "strlcpy", you should have thrift code downloaded in your ruby gems folder.
It is "C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\thrift-0.2.0" for my computer on Windows.
$ cd C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\thrift-0.2.0\ext
If you are using linux, check the lib/.../ext folder.
Open "extconf.rb" and "struct.c" with a text editor. Comment out HAVE_STRLCPY in "struct.c" like this:
/*
#ifndef HAVE_STRLCPY
static
size_t
strlcpy (char *dst, const char *src, size_t dst_sz)
{ ...
}
#endif
*/
Comment out have_func line in "extconf.rb" like this:
# have_func("strlcpy", "string.h")
Then run:
$ cd C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\thrift-0.2.0
$ ruby setup.rb
$ gem spec C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\cache\thrift-0.2.0.gem --ruby > \
C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\specifications\thrift-0.2.0.gemspec
$ gem list
You should see "thrift (0.2.0)" is in your local installed gem list.

在使用中ruby的过程中难免会遇到提高性能的问题，由此便想起了ruby线程。但是我在使用中却发现ruby的线程却不能提高性能。我写了以下代码，做了些简单测试。
