[ruby-core:112873] [Ruby master Bug#19530] `Array#sum` and `Enumerable#sum` sometimes show different behaviours

Issue #19530 has been reported by dstosik (David Stosik). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19530: `Array#sum` and `Enumerable#sum` sometimes show different behaviours https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19530 * Author: dstosik (David Stosik) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.1 (2023-02-08 revision 31819e82c8) [arm64-darwin22] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi everyone. 👋🏻 We recently discovered that `Array#sum` and `Enumerable#sum` will output different results in some edge cases. Here's the smallest script I managed to write to reproduce the issue: ``` ruby class Money def initialize(amount) @amount = amount.to_f end def +(other) self.class.new(@amount + other.to_f) end def to_f @amount end end p [7.0].each.sum(Money.new(0)).class #=> Money p [7.0] .sum(Money.new(0)).class #=> Float 💥 ``` I understand that it is expected that `#sum` may not honor custom definitions of the `#+` method (particularly when the summed values are `Float`). However, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that, in the example above, calling `#sum` on an `Array` of `Float` values and calling `#sum` on an `Enumerable` that yields the same `Float` values will return results of different types. I've reproduced the same behaviour with multiple versions of Ruby going from 2.6.5 to 3.2.1. Ideally, I would expect `[7.0].sum(Money.new(0))` to return a `Money` object identical to the one returned by `[7.0].each.sum(Money.new(0))`. I think it would make sense if at least they returned an identical value (even if it is a `Float`). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:114403] [Ruby master Feature#19840] [Proposal] Expand Find pattern to Multiple Find
by FlickGradley (Nick Bradley) 16 May '24

Issue #19840 has been reported by FlickGradley (Nick Bradley). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19840: [Proposal] Expand Find pattern to Multiple Find https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19840 * Author: FlickGradley (Nick Bradley) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Hello! I love Ruby's pattern matching features. I would like to propose an expansion of the Find pattern which allows the selection of multiple matching elements of an array. I often find myself dealing with data like this: ``` ruby { results: [{ id: 1, name: "foo" }, { id: 2, name: "bar" }, ... ] } ``` My problem is that I need to retrieve all the `id` values from the nested array of hashes, and I don't know how many there will be in advance. It seems that the Find pattern could be expanded from allowing `pattern` (matching a single element) to `*pattern`. Examples: ``` ruby # Base case case { results: [{ id: 1, name: "foo" }, { id: 2, name: "bar" }] } in results: [*{ id: ids }] "matched: #{ids}" else "not matched" end #=> matched: [1, 2] # With * at the end (rest of args) - same result case { results: [{ id: 1, name: "foo" }, { id: 2, name: "bar" }] } in results: [*{ id: ids }, *] "matched: #{ids}" else "not matched" end #=> matched: [1, 2] # When one element doesn't match and there is no *rest case { results: [{ name: "foo" }, { id: 2, name: "bar" }] } in results: [*{ id: ids }] "matched: #{ids}" else "not matched" end #=> not matched ``` Similarly, `*Constant` could work to pull out types with an As pattern: ``` ruby case [1, 2, 3, "string"] in *Integer => nums, * "matched: #{nums}" else "not matched" end #=> matched: [1, 2, 3] ``` Other patterns would work in the same way. Essentially, this expands the concept of `*` in pattern matching to mean "a variable number of `things matching subpattern`". Today, the only pattern supported by `*` is a variable binding - but it could be any of the other subpatterns as well. This proposal does imply that this would work: ``` ruby a = 2 [1, 2, 2, 3] in [*, *^a, *] #=> true ``` To me, the `*` represents the variable number of matches, so the syntax makes intuitive sense. But others may have different opinions about `*^` being adjacent. It may also imply this would work, though we could restrict the number of non-variable patterns (in other words, patterns that have the possibility of not matching) to 1 per Array so that this isn't possible.. I'm not sure something like this would be useful or clear. ``` ruby a = 2 [1, 2, "hello", "ruby"] in [*Integer, *String] #=> true ``` This feature feels like the missing piece of the Find pattern to me - I often want to "Find Multiple". If others agree, I would be happy to contribute by working on this feature and creating a pull request. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116456] [Ruby master Feature#20215] Introduce `IO#readable?`
by ioquatix (Samuel Williams) 22 Apr '24

Issue #20215 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20215: Introduce `IO#readable?` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20215 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- There are some cases where, as an optimisation, it's useful to know whether more data is potentially available. We already have `IO#eof?` but the problem with using `IO#eof?` is that it can block indefinitely for sockets. Therefore, code which uses `IO#eof?` to determine if there is potentially more data, may hang. ```ruby def make_request(path = "/") client = connect_remote_host # HTTP/1.0 request: client.write("GET #{path} HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") # Read response client.gets("\r\n") # => "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n" # Assuming connection close, there are two things the server can do: # 1. peer.close # 2. peer.write(...); peer.close if client.eof? # <--- Can hang here! puts "Connection closed" # Avoid yielding as we know there definitely won't be any data. else puts "Connection open, data may be available..." # There might be data available, so yield. yield(client) end ensure client&.close end make_request do |client| puts client.read # <--- Prefer to wait here. end ``` The proposed `IO#readable?` is similar to `IO#eof?` but rather than blocking, would simply return false. The expectation is the user will subsequently call `read` which may then wait. The proposed implementation would look something like this: ```ruby class IO def readable? !!self.closed? end end class BasicSocket # Is it likely that the socket is still connected? # May return false positive, but won't return false negative. def readable? return false unless super # If we can wait for the socket to become readable, we know that the socket may still be open. result = self.recv_nonblock(1, MSG_PEEK, exception: false) # No data was available - newer Ruby can return nil instead of empty string: return false if result.nil? # Either there was some data available, or we can wait to see if there is data avaialble. return !result.empty? || result == :wait_readable rescue Errno::ECONNRESET # This might be thrown by recv_nonblock. return false end end ``` For `IO` itself, when there is buffered data, `readable?` would also return true immediately, similar to `eof?`. This is not shown in the above implementation as I'm not sure if there is any Ruby method which exposes "there is buffered data". -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115911] [Ruby master Bug#20089] Fiber#kill transfers to root fiber

Issue #20089 has been reported by rmosolgo (Robert Mosolgo). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20089: Fiber#kill transfers to root fiber https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20089 * Author: rmosolgo (Robert Mosolgo) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-darwin22] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I was hoping to use `Fiber#kill` to clean up formerly `.transfer`-d Fibers and work around https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20081, but I found that `Fiber#kill` has a similar control flow jump behavior. Is this on purpose, or a bug? Here's a script to test the behavior: ```ruby manager = Fiber.new do worker = Fiber.new do puts "2. Begin Worker" manager.transfer puts "This should never print -- killed" end puts "1. Transfer to Worker" worker.transfer puts "3. Killing Worker" worker.kill puts "4. Finished manager" end manager.transfer puts "5. Finished script" ``` I expected items `1` through `5` to be printed in order, but in fact, `4` is never printed: ``` $ ruby fiber_transfer_test.rb 1. Transfer to Worker 2. Begin Worker 3. Killing Worker 5. Finished script ``` It seems like `worker.kill` is transferring control to the top-level fiber instead of giving it back to `manager`. I also tried having the thread kill _itself_, hoping it would return to the fiber that originally `.transfer`ed to it, but it also seems to jump out: ```ruby manager = Fiber.new do worker = Fiber.new do puts "2. Begin Worker" manager.transfer Fiber.current.kill puts "This should never print -- killed" end puts "1. Transfer to Worker" worker.transfer puts "3. Killing Worker" worker.transfer puts "4. Finished manager" end manager.transfer puts "5. Finished script" ``` Prints: ``` 1. Transfer to Worker 2. Begin Worker 3. Killing Worker 5. Finished script ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

The array contents that is being `.hash`ed both times should be exactly: `["has_metadata", "1.0", "ruby"]`. If I'm reading this correctly, this indicates that the crash is related either to creating this hash or storing this hash in the hash table (I'm not quite sure which is triggering the crash). An excerpt of the C backtrace shows the same backtrace for both crashes: ``` -- C level backtrace information ------------------------------------------- /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_vm_bugreport+0x7c4) [0x10cb0f994] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_bug_for_fatal_signal+0x1d0) [0x10c9158c0] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(sigsegv+0x5b) [0x10ca609ab] /usr/lib/system/libsystem_platform.dylib(_sigtramp+0x1d) [0x7ff810c14dfd] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_id_table_lookup+0x16) [0x10caa2a56] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(callable_method_entry_or_negative+0x5e) [0x10cae9c8e] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_check_funcall_basic_kw+0x129) [0x10caf0039] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(obj_any_hash+0x3c) [0x10c94bd2c] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(any_hash+0x52) [0x10c94bc12] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_st_add_direct+0x1d) [0x10ca69b7d] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(ar_try_convert_table+0x85) [0x10c94d015] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_hash_aset+0x18f) [0x10c94e26f] ``` I'm not sure how to follow this instruction in this case on GitHub actions: "Don't forget to include the Crash Report log file under DiagnosticReports directory in bug reports."

To address this, I'd like to introduce `Fiber#resuming?`: ```c /* * call-seq: fiber.resumed? -> true or false * * Whether the fiber is currently resumed. */ VALUE rb_fiber_resuming_p(VALUE fiber_value) { struct rb_fiber_struct *fiber = fiber_ptr(fiber_value); if (FIBER_TERMINATED_P(fiber)) return RUBY_Qfalse; return RBOOL(fiber->resuming_fiber); } ``` See the PR: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9382 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
