Aw
Aw, fork! 😬
Creates a subprocess to execute a block inside.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'aw'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install aw
Usage
It executes the block in a subprocess, and returns the result in the current process:
Aw.fork! { 6 * 7 } # => 42
Of course, it prevents from side effects:
arr = ['foo']
Aw.fork! { arr << 'FUU' } # => ["foo", "FUU"]
arr # => ["foo"]
Exceptions raised within the block are propagated:
Aw.fork! { nil + 1 } # => NoMethodError (undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass)
