Would a SynchronousThreadPool be possible to implement? about concurrent-ruby HOT 5 CLOSED

ImmediateExecutor does exactly what you are asking for

For some of our integration tests it would be much simpler if I could set
up our futures/etc to use a SynchronousThreadPool which would just execute
the block synchronously in the current thread.

Would this be possible or is it just a dumb idea? If the latter, I'd love
some pointers on how folks are writing integration tests with
concurrent-ruby

I was about to say the exact same thing, but @mighe was faster than me.

FYI: In the latest push to master I updated ImmediateExecutor to have the same lifecycle methods as the thread pools (shutdown, kill, running?, etc.) specifically to make it work in a broader set of tests. See here: https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/lib/concurrent/executor/immediate_executor.rb

Are docs covering the use of the ImmediateExecutor? The closest I would imagine is the (apparently out of date) thread pools wiki page.

Sadly, we haven't kept up with wiki the way I hoped we would (and I'm the worst at that). We are much better at keeping the Yardoc up to date. We generate the yardoc at each release.

@rtyler I've updated the wiki with links to the yardoc. I also updated the aforementioned thread pool page.
