[ruby-core:111247] [Ruby master Feature#19191] Implicit console input transcoding is more desirable

Issue #19191 has been reported by YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19191: Implicit console input transcoding is more desirable https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19191 * Author: YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In response to Bug #18353, STDIN.internal_encoding are set and encoding is converted explcitly on Windows platform. For example, ```[STDIN.external_encoding, STDIN.internal_encoding] # => [Encoding::Windows-31J, Encoding::UTF-8]``` if STDIN is console. I feel that internal_encoding should be reserved for specific applications. And I think setting internal_encoding to STDIN is not foreseened. Today I found irb breaks STDIN encoding, like ``` >ruby -rirb -e "p [$stdin.external_encoding, $stdin.internal_encoding]; IRB.setup(''); IRB::Irb.new(); p [$stdin.external_encoding, $stdin.internal_encoding]" [#<Encoding:Windows-31J>, #<Encoding:UTF-8>] [#<Encoding:UTF-8>, nil] ``` We know input has console code page encoding. So we always can convert encoding from console code page to io_input_encoding(). ### proposal when reading from console on Windows, input encoding is enfoced to console code page and encoding conversion is implicitly applied. when ```set_encoding("UTF-8")``` implicitly converts console code page to UTF-8. when ```set_encoding("CP437", "UTF-8")``` implicitly converts console code page to UTF-8. external_encoding is ignored. binmode or binary input method is not affected by these specifications. set_encoding, etc. will continue to work as before, and this specification will affect only when encoding conversion on read (NEED_READCONV() and make_readconv()). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111966] [Ruby master Feature#19366] Rename/alias Refinedment#refined_class => #refined_module

Issue #19366 has been reported by zverok (Victor Shepelev). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19366: Rename/alias Refinedment#refined_class => #refined_module https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19366 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In #12737, `Refinement#refined_class` is introduced. As "module" is more generic concept than "class", the name misleadingly implies that either this method doesn't returns refined _modules_, or modules can't be refined. This is obviously not true and trivially disproved: ```ruby module Refs refine Enumerable do def foo = puts 'foo' end end Refs.refinements[0].refined_class #=> Enumerable. Which is, well, not a class. # The refinement is usable, so it is not a mute concept: using Refs [1, 2, 3].foo # prints "foo" successfully ``` I believe we refer to "modules" when some feature applies to modules and classes. Unless there is some deeper consideration for the current naming (I don't see justification in #12737, but I might miss something), the method should be renamed or aliased. PS: Sorry for a huge amount of "nitpicky" issues after the version release. Typically, those concerns emerge while I am working on the [changelog](https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/), and I am usually trying to start the work at least a month before the release. Unfortunately, due to you-know-what, I was unable to do it in time this year. After the 3.2 changelog, I plan to switch to the "master changelog" approach (following the development with the "current unreleased changes" document) this year. Unless I'll be unable to due to reasons not in my control. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Examples: ```ruby 0.step(100.0, 10).take(1).map(&:class) # => [Float] ``` ```ruby 0.step(Float::INFINITY, 10) { |offset| p offset.class; break } # Integer ``` When `to` argument is a finite `Float` value then calling with a block returns `Floats` as well: ```ruby 0.step(100.0, 10) { |offset| p offset.class; break } # Float ``` Wondering whether it's intentional behaviour.

[ruby-core:111448] [Ruby master Bug#19266] URI::Generic should use URI::RFC3986_PARSER instead of URI::DEFAULT_PARSER
by gareth (Gareth Adams) 21 Jul '24

21 Jul '24

Issue #19266 has been reported by gareth (Gareth Adams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19266: URI::Generic should use URI::RFC3986_PARSER instead of URI::DEFAULT_PARSER https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19266 * Author: gareth (Gareth Adams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- In June 2014, [`uri/common` was updated][1] to introduce a RFC3986-compliant parser (`URI::RFC3986_PARSER`) as an alternative to the previous RFC2396 parser, and common methods like `URI()` were updated to use that new parser by default. The only methods in `common` not updated were [`URI.extract` and `URI.regexp`][2] which are marked as obsolete. (The old parser was kept in the `DEFAULT_PARSER` constant despite it not being the default for those methods, presumably for backward compatibility.) However, similar [methods called on `URI::Generic`][3] were never updated to use this new parser. This means that methods like `URI::Generic.build` fail when given input that succeeds normally, and this also affects subclasses like URI::HTTP: ``` $ pry -r uri -r uri/common -r uri/generic [1] pry(main)> URI::Generic.build(host: "underscore_host.example") URI::InvalidComponentError: bad component(expected host component): underscore_host.example from /Users/gareth/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/3.1.0/uri/generic.rb:591:in `check_host' [2] pry(main)> URI::HTTP.build(host: "underscore_host.example") URI::InvalidComponentError: bad component(expected host component): underscore_host.example from /Users/gareth/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/3.1.0/uri/generic.rb:591:in `check_host' [3] pry(main)> URI("http://underscore_host.example") => #<URI::HTTP http://underscore_host.example> ``` `URI::Generic.new` allows a configurable `parser` positional argument to override the class' default parser, but other factory methods like `.build` don't allow this override. Arguably this doesn't cause problems because at least in the case above, the URI can be built with the polymorphic constructor, but having the option to build URIs from explicit named parts is useful, and leaving the outdated functionality in the `Generic` class is ambiguous. It's possible that the whole Generic class and its subclasses aren't intended to be used directly how I'm intending here, but there's nothing I could see that suggested this is the case. I'm not aware of the entire list of differences between RFC2396 and RFC3986. The relevant difference here is that in RFC2396 an individual segment of a host ([`domainlabel`s][4]) could only be `alphanum | alphanum *( alphanum | "-" ) alphanum`, whereas RFC3986 allows [hostnames][5] to include any of `ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"`. It's possible that other differences might cause issues for developers, but since this has gone over 8 years without anyone else caring about this, this is definitely not especially urgent.

[ruby-core:111306] [Ruby master Feature#19236] Allow to create hashes with a specific capacity from Ruby
by byroot (Jean Boussier) 06 Jul '24

Issue #19236 has been reported by byroot (Jean Boussier). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19236: Allow to create hashes with a specific capacity from Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19236 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Target version: 3.3 ---------------------------------------- Followup on [Feature #18683] which added a C-API for this purpose. Various protocol parsers such as Redis `RESP3` or `msgpack`, have to create hashes, and they know the size in advance. For efficiency, it would be preferable if they could directly allocate a Hash of the necessary size, so that large hashes wouldn't cause many re-alloccations and re-hash. `String` and `Array` both already offer similar APIs: ```ruby String.new(capacity: XXX) Array.new(XX) / rb_ary_new_capa(long) ``` However there's no such public API for Hashes in Ruby land. ### Proposal I think `Hash` should have a way to create a new hash with a `capacity` parameter. The logical signature of `Hash.new(capacity: 1000)` was deemed too incompatible in [Feature #18683]. @Eregon proposed to add `Hash.create(capacity: 1000)`. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19458 has been reported by joelhawksley (Joel Hawksley). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19458: Expose HEREDOC identifier https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19458 * Author: joelhawksley (Joel Hawksley) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I’d like to have access to the HEREDOC identifier. In the ViewComponent framework I help maintain, we added a method to declare a template as such: ```ruby class Component erb_template <<~ERB <h1>Hello, <%= @name %>!</h1> ERB end ``` I'd prefer to be able to write: ```ruby class Component template <<~ERB <h1>Hello, <%= @name %>!</h1> ERB end ``` And be able to see that the argument passed to `.template` was from a HEREDOC with an `ERB` identifier, which would allow me to use the correct template handler to compile the template. I could see this being implemented: 1) As a new property of String, such as `identifier` or `heredoc_identifier`. 2) By having HEREDOCs return a subclass of String that includes an `identifier` property. I'd be happy to work on implementing this change. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
