Autoloading about braintree_ruby HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for letting us know about this, we'll pull down your code and take a look. We'll keep you update as we look into pulling this code into the library.

from braintree_ruby.

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately, autoload has thread safety issues (http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/921). Do you know of any ways to work around this for ruby 1.8?

It seems like quite hard to do right.

I guess we have two choices here:

1. you can just close referenced pull-request for now. Perhaps someone would fix thread safety later
2. you can push this as a separate branch for those who really need autoloading and don't really need thread safety

Since filing this, I've worked around it by adding 'reqiure: false' in the Gemfile, and requiring braintree manually in an autoloaded class. Also, spork and ruby 1.9.3 are reducing my concern for Gems that slow bootup times. The thread issue probably never occurs in the real world.
