The Ruby implementation in the previous comment is not safe and assumes green threading. With native threads in IronRuby, if there is a context-switch after the statement "old_critical = Thread.critical", the method can misbehave. This might need an implementation in C# or might need some different technique.

This issue also breaks the distributed ruby library.
For me it was enough to add this before my code:

class Thread
def self.exclusive
old_critical = Thread.critical
Thread.critical=true
return yield
ensure
Thread.critical=old_critical
end
end

It's the same code that the standard ruby library uses...

Greets,

Missing implementation for this, but it should be in the standard library as Ruby code: http://rails.noobkit.com/show/ruby/ruby/standard-library/thread/exclusive.html.

Need to get this in, as well as other stdlibs that have Ruby code that isn't included.
