Issue #19374 has been reported by luke-gru (Luke Gruber). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19374: Issue with Ractor.make_shareable with curried procs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19374 * Author: luke-gru (Luke Gruber) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This works, but shouldn't: ```ruby class Worker def start(&blk) blk = blk.curry # bug in ruby allows sharing of non-shareable proc Ractor.make_shareable(blk) @ractor = Ractor.new(blk) do |b| main = b.call p "from ractor: #{main}" end end def work @ractor.take end end worker = Worker.new a = self # unshareable main object p "from main: #{a}" worker.start { a } worker.work ``` The curried proc has a reference to the original proc and it's not checked for shareability. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20575 has been reported by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). ---------------------------------------- Misc #20575: Syntax Moratorium til 3.4 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20575 * Author: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- Hi, As some may remember from the closing keynote at RubyKaigi, we are introducing Syntax Moratorium to support fair development of parsers. During the Syntax Moratorium period, new syntactical changes will be suspended (changes not includes bug fixes, of course). The moratorium period is scheduled to end with the release of 3.4, since the respective parser developers told us they did not need a very long period of time. Matz. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:119272] [Ruby master Feature#20757] Make rb_tracearg_(parameters|eval_script|instruction_sequence) public C-API

Issue #20757 has been reported by richardboehme (Richard Böhme). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20757: Make rb_tracearg_(parameters|eval_script|instruction_sequence) public C-API https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20757 * Author: richardboehme (Richard Böhme) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- **Abstract** As a C-extension developer when using tracepoints I include "ruby/debug.h". This includes most of TracePoint's API but it seems like the C-equivalents for TracePoint#parameters, TracePoint#eval_script and TracePoint#instruction_sequence are missing/not being exported in the header. **Background** Most APIs like rb_tracearg_return_value are exported in "ruby/debug.h". If I understand correctly, the implementations for those methods are located in "ruby/vm_trace.c". The following methods implemented in "ruby/vm_trace.c" are missing in "ruby/debug.h": * rb_tracearg_parameters * rb_tracearg_eval_script * rb_tracearg_instruction_sequence **Proposal** I propose to add those methods to "ruby/debug.h". From my limiting understanding the change should be simple and not break backward compatibility, because we'd only need to add those function declarations to "ruby/debug.h". I'd be open to contribute this change if it was approved. **Use cases** I'm implementing a method call tracer for Ruby using the C-extension API. I wanted to get information about the parameters that the called method receives. When writing in Ruby this can be done using the TracePoint#parameters method, but I could not find the equivalent C-API. A workaround is to retrieve the method object (using the method_id) and check the method parameters. **See also** * Implementation of TracePoint#parameters in #14694 * Implementation of TracePoint#eval_script and TracePoint#instruction_sequence in #15287 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117929] [Ruby master Feature#20498] Negated method calls
by MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe) 04 Jan '25

Issue #20498 has been reported by MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20498: Negated method calls https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20498 * Author: MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I want to propose the following syntax: `foo.!bar`. I know it's already valid syntax, but please read on for details. When someone write a somewhat long line of code that is negated, the main way I've seen of doing it is: ``` must_create_user = !User.where(somelong: :condition, even_more: "thing").exists? ``` I personally highly dislike it, as I must keep the "not" in the back of my mind as I read the line. When quickly reading a line like this, it's super easy to misread and understand the opposite result. The current ways around this I can think of are: * rename the variable (can be annoying) * Use `unless` (only possible when in a condition; some people, like me, have a hard time grapsping a `unless`) * use a `.!`in the end (`foo.exists?.!`), I've never seen that and it looks ugly to me (this is subjective). * create a new method name with the negated meaning (not always possible) My proposal would look like this: ``` must_create_user = User.where(somelong: :condition, even_more: "thing").!exists? ``` You cannot forget the bang that you saw 15 words ago, it's right there. It also basically reads as English: "user where ... doesn't exists". The main argument against this I can think of is that it's technically already a valid syntax. I believe it's frowned upon to override the bang operator and I'm not aware of places where it is overridden to with also having a parameter. I made a prototype in RubyNext, which you can try here: https://ruby-next.github.io/#gist:0e133bf6f27f2437193dc034d58083dc -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:119335] [Ruby master Bug#20770] A *new* pipe operator proposal
by AlexandreMagro (Alexandre Magro) 04 Jan '25

Issue #20770 has been reported by AlexandreMagro (Alexandre Magro). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20770: A *new* pipe operator proposal https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20770 * Author: AlexandreMagro (Alexandre Magro) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.3.5 * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hello, This is my first contribution here. I have seen previous discussions around introducing a pipe operator, but it seems the community didn't reach a consensus. I would like to revisit this idea with a simpler approach, more of a syntactic sugar that aligns with how other languages implement the pipe operator, but without making significant changes to Ruby's syntax. Currently, we often write code like this: ```ruby value = half(square(add(value, 3))) ``` We can achieve the same result using the `then` method: ```ruby value = value.then { add(_1, 3) }.then { square(_1) }.then { half(_1) } ``` While `then` helps with readability, we can simplify it further using the proposed pipe operator: ```ruby value = add(value, 3) |> square(_1) |> half(_1) ``` Moreover, with the upcoming `it` feature in Ruby 3.4 (#18980), the code could look even cleaner: ```ruby value = add(value, 3) |> square(it) |> half(it) ``` This proposal uses the anonymous block argument `(_1)`, and with `it`, it simplifies the code without introducing complex syntax changes. It would allow us to achieve the same results as in other languages that support pipe operators, but in a way that feels natural to Ruby, using existing constructs like `then` underneath. I believe this operator would enhance code readability and maintainability, especially in cases where multiple operations are chained together. Thank you for considering this proposal! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

To me, using `libexec` is surprising, because according to FHS [2], the directory is for internal binaries. What is even more surprising is usage of the `bin` subdirectory there, which IMHO does not follow any standard or convention (I don't have `/usr/libexec/x86_64-linux/bin` directory on my Fedora yet). Just FTR, these are the configuration options used: ~~~ /builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.4.0_20241016git3da3cabf98-build/ruby-3.4.0-3da3cabf98/configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --runstatedir=/run --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-rubylibprefix=/usr/share/ruby --with-archlibdir=/usr/lib64 --with-rubyarchprefix=/usr/lib64/ruby --with-sitedir=/usr/local/share/ruby/site_ruby --with-sitearchdir=/usr/local/lib64/ruby/site_ruby --with-vendordir=/usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby --with-vendorarchdir=/usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby --with-rubyhdrdir=/usr/include --with-rubyarchhdrdir=/usr/include '--with-sitearchhdrdir=$(sitehdrdir)/$(arch)' '--with-vendorarchhdrdir=$(vendorhdrdir)/$(arch)' --with-rubygemsdir=/usr/share/rubygems --with-ruby-pc=ruby.pc --with-compress-debug-sections=no --disable-rpath --enable-mkmf-verbose --enable-shared --with-ruby-version= --enable-multiarch --enable-yjit ~~~ The `--enable-multiarch` is among the options.

[ruby-core:119413] [Ruby master Bug#20779] Un-rescuable thread creation limit on Mac

Issue #20779 has been reported by hms (Hal Spitz). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20779: Un-rescuable thread creation limit on Mac https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20779 * Author: hms (Hal Spitz) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.3.5 * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Thread.new will hang the ruby process once past the OSX limit. It does not appear that's possible to trap and rescue failed thread creation. It seems the Mac has a limit to the number of threads it supports and googling the issue suggests the limit has been known to change with hardware and OS releases. While I hit the thread creation limit due to a bug in my code and the number of threads that I was attempting to create (12,250+) is an unlikely use-case, I am hoping it would be possible to turn this into a rescuable error. While I'm reporting this on 3.3.5, I have tested the issue and the inability to rescue back to 3.3.1. (Thanks to @raels for being a great second set of eyes to make sure I wasn't doing anything goofy / wrong before making this report. Also, another callout and thanks to both @eregon and @bensheldon over at concurrent-ruby for the unbelievably quick and helpful response to my initial bug report over there). ---Files-------------------------------- hang.rb (713 Bytes) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
