So, there is an old blog post about the insecurity of Thread # raise, Thread # kill and the Timeout extension ( http://headius.blogspot.com/2008/02/rubys-threadraise-threadkill-timeoutrb.html ). Java has long abandoned its equivalent methods for the same reasons ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/misc/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html ).
The blog post is very old. Are modern Thread.raise implementations safe? If yes, is there any documentation / fixation to prove / demonstrate this?
