Issue #19057 has been updated by k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun). > I've noticed the same thing while trying to install kgio with the latest ruby HEAD. It looks like @byroot sent a patch for this at https://yhbt.net/kgio-public/B5843088-6EC1-4D1B-A45A-2699CA75DD7F@gmail.com…. Both patches are still not released. Unless @normalperson cuts a timely release for kgio and raindrops, we will not be able to use Unicorn on Ruby 3.3 because of this Feature. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19057: Hide implementation of `rb_io_t`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19057#change-103779 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) ---------------------------------------- In order to make improvements to the IO implementation like <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18455>, we need to add new fields to `struct rb_io_t`. By the way, ending types in `_t` is not recommended by POSIX, so I'm also trying to rename the internal implementation to drop `_t` where possible during this conversion. Anyway, we should try to hide the implementation of `struct rb_io`. Ideally, we don't expose any of it, but the problem is backwards compatibility. So, in order to remain backwards compatibility, we should expose some fields of `struct rb_io`, the most commonly used one is `fd` and `mode`, but several others are commonly used. There are many fields which should not be exposed because they are implementation details. ## Current proposal The current proposed change <https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6511> creates two structs: ```c // include/ruby/io.h #ifndef RB_IO_T struct rb_io { int fd; // ... public fields ... }; #else struct rb_io; #endif // internal/io.h #define RB_IO_T struct rb_io { int fd; // ... public fields ... // ... private fields ... }; ``` However, we are not 100% confident this is safe according to the C specification. My experience is not sufficiently wide to say this is safe in practice, but it does look okay to both myself, and @Eregon + @tenderlovemaking have both given some kind of approval. That being said, maybe it's not safe. There are two alternatives: ## Hide all details We can make public `struct rb_io` completely invisible. ```c // include/ruby/io.h #define RB_IO_HIDDEN struct rb_io; int rb_ioptr_descriptor(struct rb_io *ioptr); // accessor for previously visible state. // internal/io.h struct rb_io { // ... all fields ... }; ``` This would only be forwards compatible, and code would need to feature detect like this: ```c #ifdef RB_IO_HIDDEN #define RB_IOPTR_DESCRIPTOR rb_ioptr_descriptor #else #define RB_IOPTR_DESCRIPTOR(ioptr) rb_ioptr_descriptor(ioptr) #endif ``` ## Nested public interface Alternatively, we can nest the public fields into the private struct: ```c // include/ruby/io.h struct rb_io_public { int fd; // ... public fields ... }; // internal/io.h #define RB_IO_T struct rb_io { struct rb_io_public public; // ... private fields ... }; ``` ## Considerations I personally think the "Hide all details" implementation is the best, but it's also the lest compatible. This is also what we are ultimately aiming for, whether we decide to take an intermediate "compatibility step" is up to us. I think "Nested public interface" is messy and introduces more complexity, but it might be slightly better defined than the "Current proposal" which might create undefined behaviour. That being said, all the tests are passing. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:114080] [Ruby master Bug#19756] URI::HTTP.build does not accept a host of `_gateway`, but `URI.parse` will.

Issue #19756 has been reported by postmodern (Hal Brodigan). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19756: URI::HTTP.build does not accept a host of `_gateway`, but `URI.parse` will. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19756 * Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I noticed a difference in behavior between `URI::HTTP.build` and `URI.parse`. `URI::HTTP.build` will not accept `host:` value of `_gateway`, but `URI.parse` will. ## Steps To Reproduce ```ruby URI::HTTP.build(host: "_gateway") ``` vs. ```ruby URI.parse("http://_gateway") ``` ### Expected Results Both raise the same exception, or return the same URI object. ### Actual Results ``` URI::HTTP.build(host: "_gateway") /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:601:in `check_host': bad component(expected host component): _gateway (URI::InvalidComponentError) from /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:640:in `host=' from /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:673:in `hostname=' from /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:190:in `initialize' from /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:136:in `new' from /usr/share/ruby/uri/generic.rb:136:in `build' from /usr/share/ruby/uri/http.rb:61:in `build' from (irb):2:in `<main>' from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/irb-1.7.0/exe/irb:9:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `load' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `<main>' ``` ``` URI.parse("https://_gateway") # => #<URI::HTTPS https://_gateway> ``` ## Additional Information ``` $ gem list uri uri (default: 0.12.1) ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:114087] [Ruby master Feature#16657] Don't ship bundled gems as .gem files as well as in expanded form
by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) 05 Jul '23

Issue #16657 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- Feature #16657: Don't ship bundled gems as .gem files as well as in expanded form https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16657#change-103764 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- Working at #16651, I wonder why the release tarball ships with the bundled gem in form of .gem packages as well as the expanded sources. It would be nice, if one option is chosen. Ideally just the .gem packages, because these are vanilla upstream packages installable via RubyGems without rbinstall magic. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112773] [Ruby master Feature#19521] Support for `Module#name=` and `Class#name=`.
by ioquatix (Samuel Williams) 01 Jul '23

Issue #19521 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19521: Support for `Module#name=` and `Class#name=`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19521 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19450 for previous discussion and motivation. This proposal introduces `Class#name=` to set the temporary class name. This is an alternative or addition to <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19520>. ```ruby c = Class.new do self.name = "fake name" end c = Class.new c.name = "fake name" ``` Alternatively, we could use `set_name`: ```ruby Class.new do set_name "fake_name" end ``` ## Example usage The current Ruby test suite has code which shows the usefulness of this new method: ```ruby def labeled_module(name, &block) Module.new do singleton_class.class_eval { define_method(:to_s) {name} alias inspect to_s alias name to_s } class_eval(&block) if block end end module_function :labeled_module def labeled_class(name, superclass = Object, &block) Class.new(superclass) do singleton_class.class_eval { define_method(:to_s) {name} alias inspect to_s alias name to_s } class_eval(&block) if block end end module_function :labeled_class ``` The updated code would look like this: ```ruby def labeled_module(name, &block) Module.new do self.name = name class_eval(&block) if block end end def labeled_class(name, superclass = Object, &block) Class.new(superclass) do self.name = name class_eval(&block) if block end end module_function :labeled_class ``` Because the name cannot be set as part of `.new`, we have to have a separate block to set the name, before calling `class_eval`. I think the ergonomics and performance of this are slightly worse than the [counter proposal](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19520). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

I think #to_s('3F') has universal use cases like money calculation. # Discussion - International System of Units aka SI defines 3-digit-grouping on long numeric sequence. https://www1.bipm.org/jsp/en/ViewCGPMResolution.jsp?CGPM=22&RES=10 - Original discussion in 1948 shows some example of 3-digit-grouping. https://www1.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/CGPM/CGPM9.pdf#page=117 # Summary We want to have a natural format. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
