Issue #19409 has been reported by luke-gru (Luke Gruber). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19409: Object's shape is reset after a ractor move https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19409 * Author: luke-gru (Luke Gruber) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I believe an object should have the same shape after being moved from 1 ractor to another. ```ruby class Obj attr_accessor :a, :b, :c, :d def initialize @a = 1 @b = 2 @c = 3 end end r = Ractor.new do obj = receive #p RubyVM::Shape.of(obj) obj.d = 4 p obj.a, obj.b, obj.c, obj.d # gets wrong values due to object shape id being reset on object end obj = Obj.new #p RubyVM::Shape.of(obj) r.send(obj, move: true) r.take ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19411 has been reported by luke-gru (Luke Gruber). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19411: GC issue with moved objects https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19411 * Author: luke-gru (Luke Gruber) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.2.0 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This crashes: ```ruby class Obj def initialize @obj = 3 end end GC.stress = true r = Ractor.new do obj = receive p obj end obj = Obj.new r.send(obj, move: true) r.take ``` It only crashes with nested objects, if you remove the ivar set in `initialize` it works fine. Maybe missing `RB_GC_GUARD`? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112446] [Ruby master Bug#19442] Remove USE_RINCGC flag

Issue #19442 has been reported by eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19442: Remove USE_RINCGC flag https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19442 * Author: eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- [GitHub PR #7317](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7313) Ruby doesn't compile when USE_RINCGC is disabled. It's also not being tested in CI. As @nobu has pointed out in comments on the PR, fixing it is simple. I think there are 2 approaches we could take: 1. Remove `USE_RINCGC` entirely and always run with incremental GC enabled. We have a precedent for this: `USE_RGENGC=0` was removed [in this commit](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/62c2b8c74e47652fc5bbaf6150f4acd… almost 3 years ago. `USE_RINCGC=0` is in a similar state. It has been broken for almost a year (since [this commit](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/dde164e968e382d50b07ad455946888…) and [disabled in CI for more than 2 years](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/46d3ea2c2569e2e5a9ee3e7e206f07f0…. 2. We could fix `USE_RINCGC`. If we do this we should re-enable the CI task so that we continue to keep it working in the future. I am very much in favour of option 1, because I don't think this flag is being actively used, and removing it will simplify the code and reduce the cognitive overhead of working with the GC. However I am happy to defer to the team here. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19982 has been reported by kddnewton (Kevin Newton). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19982: Bump required Visual Studio version to 2015 after 3.3 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19982 * Author: kddnewton (Kevin Newton) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Visual Studio 2013 is finally being EOL'd next April. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/vs-servicing#old…) Let's drop support for it after Ruby 3.3 is released. If we bump the required version to Visual Studio 2015, we'll get better C99 support and be able to rely on some more standards. Personally I'm excited about `snprintf` being actually implemented. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/overview/visual-cpp-language-conforma…) As support for the argument, CPython requires VS2017 (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/PCbuild/readme.txt) and gnulib requires VS2015(https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Supported-Platf…. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111739] [Ruby master Feature#19324] Enumerator.product => Enumerable#product
by zverok (Victor Shepelev) 23 Dec '23

Issue #19324 has been reported by zverok (Victor Shepelev). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19324: Enumerator.product => Enumerable#product https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19324 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I know it might be too late after introducing a feature and releasing a version, but I find `Enumerator.product` quite confusing, and can't find any justification in #18685. **Problem 1: It is `Array#product` but `Enumerator.product`** ```ruby [1, 2].product([4, 5]) # => [[1, 4], [1, 5], [2, 4], [2, 5]] # Usually, when we add methods to Enumerable/Enumerator which # already array had before, it is symmetric, say... [1, nil, 2, 3].compact #=> [1, 2, 3] [1, nil, 2, 3].lazy.compact.first(2) #=> [1, 2] # But not in this case: [1, 2].lazy.product([4, 5]).first(2) # undefined method `product' for #<Enumerator::Lazy: [1, 2]> (NoMethodError) # Because you "just" need to change it to: Enumerator.product([1, 2].lazy, [4, 5]).first(2) # => [[1, 4], [1, 5]] ``` No other method was "promoted" from Array this way And in general, I believe core methods tend to belong to the first object in the expression and not be free module methods, Elixir style. **Problem 2: It is one letter different from `Enumerator.produce`** I understand I might be biased here (as a person who proposed `produce`), and that method is not as popular (yet?) as I hoped, but still, two methods that do completely different things and differ by one letter, both being somewhat vague verbs (so it is easy to confuse them unless you did a lot of math and "product" is firmly set for set product in your head). I believe that EITHER of two problems would be concerning enough, but the combination of them seems to be a strong enough argument to make the change?.. (Maybe with graceful deprecation of module method in one next version, but, considering the Ruby 3.2 is just released, maybe vice versa, fix the problem in the next minor release?..) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111988] [Ruby master Feature#19370] Anonymous parameters for blocks?

Issue #19370 has been reported by zverok (Victor Shepelev). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19370: Anonymous parameters for blocks? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19370 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Just to clarify: are anonymous parameters delegation is planned to support in blocks? It would be a nice addition, if it is possible to implement: ```ruby # data in form [request method, URL, params]: [ [:get, 'https://google.com', {q: 'Ruby'}, {'User-Argent': 'Google-Chrome'}], [:post, 'https://gist.github.com', 'body'], # ... ].each { |method, *| request(method.to_s.upcase, *) } ``` ...and at the very least, consistent with what the method definition can have. If they are NOT planned to be implemented, I believe that at least error messages should be made much clearer, because currently, this would happen while running the code above: > no anonymous rest parameter (SyntaxError) I understand the reason (the `request` clause doesn't "see" anonymous parameter of the **block**, and claims that current **method** doesn't have them), but it looks honestly confusing and inconsistent. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115525] [Ruby master Feature#20027] Range Deconstruction
by stuyam (Stuart Yamartino) 22 Dec '23

Issue #20027 has been reported by stuyam (Stuart Yamartino). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20027: Range Deconstruction https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20027 * Author: stuyam (Stuart Yamartino) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Ranges are a powerful tool in ruby. A common range I use is a date range such as `(Date.yesterday..Date.tomorrow)`. A range will often be passed around to methods because the dates hold meaning together such as a timeframe for a table filter. Often I want to grab the original values out of a range like: ```ruby timeframe = (Date.yesterday..Date.tomorrow) start_date = timeframe.begin end_date = timeframe.end #=> start_date = yesterday #=> end_date = today ``` Similar to array and hash deconstruction I thought it would be useful to support range deconstruction like this: ```ruby start_date, end_date = (Date.yesterday..Date.tomorrow) #=> start_date = yesterday #=> end_date = today ``` This would also work for endless or beginless ranges since the beginning and end are just nil in those cases: ```ruby start_date, end_day = ..Date.tomorrow #=> start_date = nil #=> end_date = tomorrow ``` You could do this now using `to_a` like: ```ruby start_date, *middle_dates, end_date = (Date.new(2000,1,1)..Date.new(2023,1,1).to_a ``` However this has unnecessary performance issues by converting the range to an array especially if the range spans a large period, `middle_dates` would hold a very large array. Also if the range resulted in an array with 2 values, `end_date` would be nil and this wouldn't actually work to get the begin and end values. I think this provides a simple interface for a common pattern of deconstructing ranges into their beginning and end values. It would be useful for ranges regardless of date ranges or other types of ranges since they are essentially tuples. Would love to know what others think about this <3 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
