cannot call Fiber.yield in #initialize

[kazuho]

As shown in the code snippet below, it is impossible to call Fiber.yield in case it is invoked (either directly or indirectly) via #initialize.

My understanding is that this is because #new method (which calls #initialize) is implemented in C.

Is there any chance that this restriction will be raised, for example by making changes so that #initialize will be called right after returning from the C function that implements #new?

class T1
  def foo
    Fiber.yield "hello from T1#foo"
  end
end

class T2
  def initialize
    Fiber.yield "hello from T2#initialize"
  end
end

f = Fiber.new do
  T1.new.foo
end
puts f.resume # says "hello"

f = Fiber.new do
  T2.new
end
puts f.resume # can't cross C function boundary error

It's because #initialize is called via mrb_funcall(). We can solve this by implementing Class#new in Ruby, but when I tried before it slows down mruby significantly. If this issue is not critical, I'd like to declare this as a mruby limitation.

Thank you for the answer. The issue is not critical to me, I can live without it.

PS. I hope you have a good year!
