[ruby-core:111740] [Ruby master Bug#19325] Windows support lacking.

Issue #19325 has been reported by dsisnero (Dominic Sisneros). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19325: Windows support lacking. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19325 * Author: dsisnero (Dominic Sisneros) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Ruby's support on windows has always been second class. With some of the recent decisions, windows support is falling even more behind. Recent developments in mjit and yjit that exclude windows are two glaring issues that should be corrected. Googling 'percent of windows vs other operating systems' and it shows windows has a share of 76%. Ceding that users to python and other programming languages has to be one of the reasons python continues get more market share from ruby. With rust having first class windows support and threading support, is there a reason why yjit is not able to work on windows? Also, windows compiler support has matured enough and vcpkg support has evolved enough that it seems it should be possible to finally get a ruby version without having to use msys2. Even Crystal language has a version that runs on windows without needing msys2. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:113096] [Ruby master Feature#19572] Proposal: New TracePoint event for rescued exceptions

Issue #19572 has been reported by st0012 (Stan Lo). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19572: Proposal: New TracePoint event for rescued exceptions https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19572 * Author: st0012 (Stan Lo) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- **Summary** Support a new `rescue` event type in TracePoint. When the event is triggered, `TracePoint#rescued_exception` can be used to access the exception. **Reason** Currently, TracePoint supports `raise` events, which can be helpful for debugging by showing which exception occurs at which location. By adding a `rescue` event type, we can improve the developer's debugging experience by making it easier to check where an exception is rescued. Currently, the most effective way to check where an exception is rescued involves setting a breakpoint at the exception's raised location and stepping through the code to see whether the debugger stops inside a rescue block. However, this can be a tedious process, especially in large applications with deep call stacks. By using a TracePoint event for rescue, developers can easily track exceptions as they are rescued by adding a few lines of code: ``` TracePoint.trace(:rescue) do |tp| puts "Exception rescued: #{tp.rescued_exception} at #{tp.path}:#{tp.lineno}" end ``` This new TracePoint event will also improve the `ruby/debug`'s [`ExceptionTracer`](https://github.com/ruby/debug/blob/master/lib/debug/tracer.rb#L150-L166) and provide users with a better debugging experience. -- 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:113407] [Ruby master Feature#19630] [RFC] Deprecate `Kernel.open("|command-here")` due to frequent security issues

Issue #19630 has been reported by postmodern (Hal Brodigan). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19630: [RFC] Deprecate `Kernel.open("|command-here")` due to frequent security issues https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19630 * Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- `Kernel.open()` is the source of numerous [1] security [2] issues [3], due to the fact that it can be used to execute commands if given a String argument of the form `"|command-here"`. However, in most uses of `Kernel.open()` the developer appears to either want to open a local file, or if 'open-uri' was explicitly required open a remote URI. We should deprecate calling `Kernel.open()` with a `"|command-here"` style arguments, with a warning message instructing the developer to use `IO.popen()` instead. Eventually, support for `Kernel.open("|command-here")` could be removed completely, in favor of having the developer explicitly call `IO.popen()` or `URI.open()`.

[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) 22 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/
