    introduce rb_nogvl C-API to mark ubf as async-signal-safe · 23444302
    Eric Wong authored
    zlib and bignum both contain unblocking functions which are
    async-signal-safe and do not require spawning additional
    threads.
    
    We can execute those functions directly in signal handlers
    without incurring overhead of extra threads, so provide C-API
    users the ability to deal with that.  Other C-API users may
    have similar need.
    
    This flexible API can supercede existing uses of
    rb_thread_call_without_gvl and rb_thread_call_without_gvl2 by
    introducing a flags argument to control behavior.
    
    Note: this API is NOT finalized.  It needs approval from other
    committers.  I prefer shorter name than previous
    rb_thread_call_without_gvl* functions because my eyes requires
    big fonts.
    
    [Bug #15499]
