[ruby-core:111953] [Ruby master Bug#19362] #dup on Proc doesn't call initialize_dup
by zverok (Victor Shepelev) 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Issue #19362 has been reported by zverok (Victor Shepelev). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19362: #dup on Proc doesn't call initialize_dup https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19362 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- In #17545, `#dup` had changed to create an instance of the subclass. It, though, doesn't invoke `initialize_dup` of the subclass, unlike other standard classes. ```ruby class MyAry < Array def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end class MyString < String def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end class MyProc < Proc def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end MyString.new('test').dup # prints MyString, "test" MyAry.new(['test']).dup # prints MyAry, ["test"] MyProc.new { 'test' }.dup # doesn't print anything ``` This makes the change in #17545 useless: while inheriting from core classes is indeed marginal, one of author's intention might be carrying additional information with the Proc instance, and bypassing `#initialize_dup` makes it impossible to maintain this information. It seems that actually `#initialize_dup` is also invoked on the core classes themselves, but ignored on `Proc`. ```ruby class Array def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end class String def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end class Proc def initialize_dup(...) p(self.class, ...) super end end 'test'.dup # prints String, "test" ['test'].dup # prints Array, ["test"] Proc.new { 'test' }.dup # doesn't print anything ``` Which is an even more marginal problem but still an inconsistency. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19230 has been reported by mame (Yusuke Endoh). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19230: The openssl backend of securerandom is no longer needed https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19230 * Author: mame (Yusuke Endoh) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- securerandom first checks if Random.urandom is available ([Line 77](https://github.com/ruby/securerandom/blob/5bfe7d6c163f7a8a45af8d2fc377f…) and if not available, it uses the openssl backend as a degeneration. However, the openssl backend does not work because it internally uses Random.urandom ([Line 55](https://github.com/ruby/securerandom/blob/5bfe7d6c163f7a8a45af8d2fc377f…) to create a seed. This issue is found by @hanachin. ``` $ ruby -ve 'def Random.urandom(*); raise; end; require "securerandom"; p SecureRandom.bytes(10)' ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [x86_64-linux] -e:1: warning: method redefined; discarding old urandom -e:1:in `urandom': unhandled exception from /home/mame/local/lib/ruby/3.1.0/securerandom.rb:75:in `singleton class' from /home/mame/local/lib/ruby/3.1.0/securerandom.rb:42:in `<module:SecureRandom>' from /home/mame/local/lib/ruby/3.1.0/securerandom.rb:41:in `<top (required)>' from <internal:/home/mame/local/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require' from <internal:/home/mame/local/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require' from -e:1:in `<main>' ``` There has been this bug since commit:abae70d6ed63054d7d01bd6cd80c1b5b98b93ba3, which made the urandom backend as default and left the openssl backend just for degeneration. I think no one need the openssl anymore because no one has reported this bug for such a long time.

[ruby-core:112399] [Ruby master Bug#19436] Call Cache for singleton methods can lead to "memory leaks"
by byroot (Jean Boussier) 23 Aug '23

Issue #19436 has been reported by byroot (Jean Boussier). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19436: Call Cache for singleton methods can lead to "memory leaks" https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19436 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Using "memory leaks" with quotes, because strictly speaking the memory isn't leaked, but it can nonetheless lead to large memory overheads. ### Minimal Reproduction ```ruby module Foo def bar end end def call_bar(obj) # Here the call cache we'll keep a ref on the method_entry # which then keep a ref on the singleton_class, making that # instance immortal until the method is called again with # another instance. # The reference chain is IMEMO(callcache) -> IMEMO(ment) -> ICLASS -> CLASS(singleton) -> OBJECT obj.bar end obj = Object.new obj.extend(Foo) call_bar(obj) id = obj.object_id obj = nil 4.times { GC.start } p ObjectSpace._id2ref(id) ``` ### Explanation Call caches keep a strong reference onto the "callable method entry" (CME), which itself keeps a strong reference on the called object class and in the cache of a singleton class, it keeps a strong reference onto the `attached_object` (instance). This means that any call site that calls a singleton method, will effectively keep a strong reference onto the last receiver. If the method is frequently called it's not too bad, but if it's infrequently called, it's effectively a (bounded) memory leak. And if the `attached_object` is big, the wasted memory can be very substantial. ### Practical Implications Once relative common API impacted by this is [Rails' `extending` API](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/QueryMethods.html#met…. This API allow to extend a "query result set" with a module. These query results set can sometimes be very big, especially since they keep references to the instantiated `ActiveRecord::Base` instances etc. ### Possible Solutions #### Only keep a weak reference to the CME The fairly "obvious" solution is to keep a weak reference to the CME, that's what I explored in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7272, and it seems to work. However in debug mode It does fail on an assertion during compaction, but it's isn't quite clear to me what the impact is. Additionally, something that makes me think this would be the right solution, is that call caches already try to avoid marking the class: ```c # vm_callinfo.h:275 struct rb_callcache { const VALUE flags; /* inline cache: key */ const VALUE klass; // should not mark it because klass can not be free'd // because of this marking. When klass is collected, // cc will be cleared (cc->klass = 0) at vm_ccs_free(). ``` So it appears that the class being also marked through the CME is some kind of oversight? #### Don't cache based on some heuristics If the above isn't possible or too complicated, an alternative would be to not cache CMEs found in singleton classes, except if it's the the singleton class of a `Class` or `Module`. It would make repeated calls to such methods slower, but the assumption is that it's unlikely that these CME would live very long. #### Make `Class#attached_object` a weak reference Alternatively we could make the `attached_object` a weak reference, which would drastically limit the amount of memory that may be leaked in such scenario. The downside is that `Class#attached_object` was very recently exposed in Ruby 3.2.0, so it means changing its semantic a bit. cc @peterzhu2118 @ko1 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112146] [Ruby master Bug#19394] cvars in instance of cloned class point to source class's cvars even after class_variable_set on clone
by jamescdavis (James Davis) 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Issue #19394 has been reported by jamescdavis (James Davis). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19394: cvars in instance of cloned class point to source class's cvars even after class_variable_set on clone https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19394 * Author: jamescdavis (James Davis) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [x86_64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This unexpected change in behavior happens between Ruby 3.0.x and 3.1.x. In Ruby >= 3.1, when a class with a cvar is cloned (or duped), the cvar in instances of the cloned class continues to point to the source class’s cvar after the clone has its cvar updated with `class_variable_set`. In Ruby < 3.1, the cloned class instance points to the updated cvar, as expected. It seems likely that this is a bug in the [cvar cache](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17763) introduced in Ruby 3.1. Repro: ```rb class Foo @@bar = 'bar' def print_bar puts "#{self.class.name} (from instance): #{@@bar} #{@@bar.object_id}" end end foo_bar = Foo.class_variable_get(:@@bar) puts "Foo (class_variable_get): #{foo_bar} #{foo_bar.object_id}" Foo.new.print_bar FooClone = Foo.clone FooClone.class_variable_set(:@@bar, 'bar_clone') foo_clone_bar = FooClone.class_variable_get(:@@bar) puts "FooClone (class_variable_get): #{foo_clone_bar} #{foo_clone_bar.object_id}" FooClone.new.print_bar ``` Ruby 3.0.5: ``` Foo (class_variable_get): bar 60 Foo (from instance): bar 60 FooClone (class_variable_get): bar_clone 80 FooClone (from instance): bar_clone 80 ``` Ruby 3.1.3, 3.2.0: ``` Foo (class_variable_get): bar 60 Foo (from instance): bar 60 FooClone (class_variable_get): bar_clone 80 FooClone (from instance): bar 60 ``` Something similar happens when there are multiple clones and a cvar that the source class does not have defined is set on the clones. In this case, the cvars in instances of the clones all point to the first clone’s cvar. Repro: ```rb class Foo def print_bar puts "#{self.class.name} (from instance): #{@@bar} #{@@bar.object_id}" end end Foo1 = Foo.clone Foo2 = Foo.clone Foo3 = Foo.clone Foo1.class_variable_set(:@@bar, 'bar1') Foo2.class_variable_set(:@@bar, 'bar2') Foo3.class_variable_set(:@@bar, 'bar3') foo1_bar = Foo1.class_variable_get(:@@bar) foo2_bar = Foo2.class_variable_get(:@@bar) foo3_bar = Foo3.class_variable_get(:@@bar) puts "Foo1 (class_variable_get): #{foo1_bar} #{foo1_bar.object_id}" puts "Foo2 (class_variable_get): #{foo2_bar} #{foo2_bar.object_id}" puts "Foo3 (class_variable_get): #{foo3_bar} #{foo3_bar.object_id}" Foo1.new.print_bar Foo2.new.print_bar Foo3.new.print_bar ``` Ruby 3.0.5: ``` Foo1 (class_variable_get): bar1 60 Foo2 (class_variable_get): bar2 80 Foo3 (class_variable_get): bar3 100 Foo1 (from instance): bar1 60 Foo2 (from instance): bar2 80 Foo3 (from instance): bar3 100 ``` Ruby 3.1.3, 3.2.0: ``` Foo1 (class_variable_get): bar1 60 Foo2 (class_variable_get): bar2 80 Foo3 (class_variable_get): bar3 100 Foo1 (from instance): bar1 60 Foo2 (from instance): bar1 60 Foo3 (from instance): bar1 60 ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111565] [Ruby master Bug#19293] The new Time.new(String) API is nice... but we still need a stricter version of this
by matsuda (Akira Matsuda) 23 Jul '23

Issue #19293 has been reported by matsuda (Akira Matsuda). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19293: The new Time.new(String) API is nice... but we still need a stricter version of this https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19293 * Author: matsuda (Akira Matsuda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-01-01T07:39:00Z master 542e984d82) +YJIT [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The Ruby 3.2 style `Time.new(String)` API works very well so far, but since the original `Time.new(Integer, Integer, Integer...)` API actually accepts String objects as its arguments, there's one ambiguous case as follows: `Time.new('20230123') #=> 20230123-01-01 00:00:00 +0900` Then the problem that I'm facing is that we cannot tell if `Time.new` would parse the given String as ISO8601-ish or just a year, and in order to avoid this ambiguity, we still need to somehow parse the String beforehand in our application side (like we're doing this way in Ruby on Rails https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/c49b8270/activemodel/lib/active_model/t…) then dispatch to the new `Time.new` only when the String is validated to be conforming the ISO format. Otherwise, if we just optimistically pass in given Strings to `Time.new`, we'll occasionally get a Time object with an unintended buggy value. Therefore, it unfortunately seems that my feature request on #16005 still continues... I have to keep proposing that we need either of the following: 1. A trustworthy version of ISO8601 parser method perhaps with another name than `.new` that accepts strict ISO8601-ish String only (but with the T delimiter, I still don't know what the proper name of this format is). 2. Change `Time.new(Integer-ish, Integer-ish, Integer-ish...)` not to accept Integer-ish Strings but to accept only Integers. But I can imagine that this direction is very unlikely acceptable, due to the incompatibility. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
