* Postponed Job API
- * rb_postponed_job_register and rb_postponed_job_register_one are
- * async-signal-safe and used via SIGPROF by the "stackprof" RubyGem
+ *
+ * This API is designed to be called from contexts where it is not safe to run Ruby
+ * code (e.g. because they do not hold the GVL or because GC is in progress), and
+ * defer a callback to run in a context where it _is_ safe. The primary intended
+ * users of this API is for sampling profilers like the "stackprof" gem; these work
+ * by scheduling the periodic delivery of a SIGPROF signal, and inside the C-level
+ * signal handler, deferring a job to collect a Ruby backtrace when it is next safe
+ * to do so.
+ *
+ * Ruby maintains a small, fixed-size postponed job table. An extension using this
+ * API should first call `rb_postponed_job_preregister` to register a callback
+ * function in this table and obtain a handle of type `rb_postponed_job_handle_t`
+ * to it. Subsequently, the callback can be triggered by calling
+ * `rb_postponed_job_trigger` with that handle, or the `data` associated with the
+ * callback function can be changed by calling `rb_postponed_job_preregister` again.
+ *
+ * Because the postponed job table is quite small (it only has 32 entries on most
+ * common systems), extensions should generally only preregister one or two `func`
+ * values.
+ *
+ * Historically, this API provided two functions `rb_postponed_job_register` and
+ * `rb_postponed_job_register_one`, which claimed to be fully async-signal-safe and
+ * would call back the provided `func` and `data` at an appropriate time. However,
+ * these functions were subject to race conditions which could cause crashes when
+ * racing with Ruby's internal use of them. These two functions are still present,
+ * but are marked as deprecated and have slightly changed semantics:
+ *
+ * * rb_postponed_job_register now works like rb_postponed_job_register_one i.e.
+ * `func` will only be executed at most one time each time Ruby checks for
+ * interrupts, no matter how many times it is registered
+ * * They are also called with the last `data` to be registered, not the first
+ * (which is how rb_postponed_job_register_one previously worked)
