[ruby-core:111121] [Ruby master Bug#19165] Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow

Issue #19165 has been reported by matsuda (Akira Matsuda). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19165: Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19165 * Author: matsuda (Akira Matsuda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-12-01T08:05:41Z master 4e68b59431) +YJIT [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I found that method delegation via Forwardable is much slower than normal method call when delegating a method that does not take parameters. Here's a benchmark that explains what I mean. ``` require 'forwardable' require 'pp' require 'benchmark/ips' class Obj extend Forwardable attr_accessor :other def initialize @other = Other.new end def foo_without_splat @other.foo end def foo_with_splat(*) @other.foo(*) end def foo_with_splat_with_name(*args) @other.foo(*args) end def foo_with_splat_and_double_splat(*, **) @other.foo(*, **) end def foo_with_triple_dots(...) @other.foo(...) end delegate :foo => :@other end class Other def foo() end end o = Obj.new Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report 'simple call' do o.other.foo end x.report 'delegate without splat' do o.foo_without_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat' do o.foo_with_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat with name' do o.foo_with_splat_with_name end x.report 'delegate with splat and double splat' do o.foo_with_splat_and_double_splat end x.report 'delegate with triple dots' do o.foo_with_triple_dots end x.report 'delegate via forwardable' do o.foo end end (result) simple call 38.918M (± 0.9%) i/s - 194.884M delegate without splat 31.933M (± 1.6%) i/s - 159.611M delegate with splat 10.269M (± 1.6%) i/s - 51.631M delegate with splat with name 9.888M (± 1.0%) i/s - 49.588M delegate with splat and double splat 4.117M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.696M delegate with triple dots 4.169M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.857M delegate via forwardable 9.204M (± 2.1%) i/s - 46.295M ``` It shows that Method delegation with a splat is 3-4 times slower (regardless of whether the parameter is named or not), and delegation with a triple-dot literal is 9-10 times slower than a method delegation without an argument. This may be because calling a method taking a splat always assigns an Array object even when no actual argument was given, and calling a method taking triple-dots assigns five Array objects and two Hash objects (this is equivalent to `*, **`). Are there any chance reducing these object assignments and making them faster? My concern is that the Rails framework heavily uses this kind of method delegations, and presumably it causes unignorable performance overhead. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

So it is better to remove this method. ```ruby P = Data.define(:x, :y) p P.new(1, 2).members #=> [:x, :y] Group = Data.define(:name, :members) gs = Group.new('SasadaFamily', %w(ko1 yuki)) p gs.members #=> ["ko1", "yuki"] ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[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/
