Issue #19967 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19967: Already installed libruby.dylib is used for test on macOS https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19967 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Backport: 3.0: REQUIRED, 3.1: REQUIRED, 3.2: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- On macOS, in the case of `--enable-shared` and `--disable-load-relative`, already install libruby.dylib is used during tests if exists. This is because since [Bug #14992], `DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH` is used instead of `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`. The latter environment variable is used preferentially, whereas the former is used as a fallback, as the name implies. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[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/

[ruby-core:111434] [Ruby master Feature#19261] `Data#members` is not important
by ko1 (Koichi Sasada) 04 Dec '24

Issue #19261 has been reported by ko1 (Koichi Sasada). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19261: `Data#members` is not important https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19261 * Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- `Data#members` is defined but it is calculated by `self.class.members` (in other words, `#members` is a shorthand for `self.class.members`). 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/

[ruby-core:113489] [Ruby master Bug#19642] Remove vectored read/write from `io.c`.

Issue #19642 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19642: Remove vectored read/write from `io.c`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19642 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- https://github.com/socketry/async/issues/228#issuecomment-1546789910 is a comment from the kernel developer who tells us that `writev` is always worse than `write` system call. A large amount of complexity in `io.c` comes from optional support from `writev`. So, I'd like to remove support for `writev`. I may try to measure the performance before/after. However it may not show much difference, except that the implementation in `io.c` can be much simpler. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111966] [Ruby master Feature#19366] Rename/alias Refinedment#refined_class => #refined_module
by zverok (Victor Shepelev) 19 Nov '24

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/
