[ruby-core:120272] [Ruby master Feature#6648] Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby
by headius (Charles Nutter) 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Issue #6648 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter). I am in favor of including -C in the argv API along with every other flag that was passed at the command line. The purpose of getting the list of arguments is not solely for relaunching, it is also to be able to reprocess that list and act on it within the same process. The relaunching api, which I agree would make sense as a separate API call, would have more smarts for launching a new process with equivalent flags to this process. That may mean that global state change flags like -C must be handled differently. Someone here also mentioned having access to the original state in which the runtime was launched, such as the original working directory before -C or chdir calls have happened. Original environment probably should be included as well. My goal with these APIs is to make it transparent to Ruby code exactly how the current instance of Ruby was launched, along with providing a standard way to relaunch the same runtime in the same way. The argv API should come first. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6648: Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6648#change-111039 * Author: headius (Charles Nutter) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Currently there are no standard mechanisms to get the flags passed to the currently running Ruby implementation. The available mechanisms are not ideal: * Scanning globals and hoping they have not been tweaked to new settings * Using external wrappers to launch Ruby * ??? Inability to get the full set of command-line flags, including flags passed to the VM itself (and probably VM-specific) makes it impossible to launch subprocess Ruby instances with the same settings. A real world example of this is "((%bundle exec%))" when called with a command line that sets various flags, a la ((%jruby -Xsome.vm.setting --1.9 -S bundle exec%)). None of these flags can propagate to the subprocess, so odd behaviors result. The only option is to put the flags into an env var (((|JRUBY_OPTS|)) or ((|RUBYOPT|))) but this breaks the flow of calling a simple command line. JRuby provides mechanisms to get all its command line options, but they require calling Java APIs from Ruby's API set. Rubinius provides its own API for accessing comand-line options, but I do not know if it includes VM-level flags as well as standard Ruby flags. I know there is a (({RubyVM})) namespace in the 2.0 line. If that namespace is intended to be general-purpose for VM-level features, it would be a good host for this API. Something like... ``` class << RubyVM def vm_args; end # returns array of command line args *not* passed to the target script def script; end # returns the script being executed...though this overlaps with $0 def script_args; end # returns args passed to the script...though this overlaps with ARGV, but that is perhaps warranted since ARGV can be modified (i.e. you probably want the original args) end ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:120253] [Ruby master Bug#20956] Nested alternation pattern matching bug in 3.4.0-rc1

Issue #20956 has been reported by nevans (Nicholas Evans). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20956: Nested alternation pattern matching bug in 3.4.0-rc1 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20956 * Author: nevans (Nicholas Evans) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.4.0-rc1 * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I think I've found a pattern matching bug in ruby 3.4.0-rc1. ```ruby [123, ["foo"]] in [_, /\Afoo\b/i | [/\Afoo\z/i, *]] ``` I also tested this in ruby 2.7.8, with: ```ruby case [123, ["foo"]]; in [_, /\Afoo\b/i | [/\Afoo\z/i, *]] then true; else false end ``` These return `true` in ruby 2.7.8, 3.0.7, 3.1.6, 3.2.6, and 3.3.6. But they return false in 3.4.0-rc1. I'm not sure if this is the best example, but it is a simplification of how I came across the bug. Here are some other similar cases, which give the same result in 3.4.0-rc1 and 3.3.6: ```irb irb(main):001> ["foo"] in /\Afoo\b/i | [/\Afoo\z/i, *] => true irb(main):002> [123, ["foo"]] in [_, [/\Afoo\z/i, *]] => true irb(main):003> [["foo"]] in [[/\Afoo\z/i, *]] => true ``` But this case exhibits the bug again: ```irb irb(main):004> [["foo"]] in [/\Afoo\b/i | [/\Afoo\z/i, *]] => false ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

That's why I don't want `-C` in ruby_args at all. What if user code changed to a different directory **and intended** for that to be the CWD upon re-exec? Then `-C` would break that intent. The way I see it, the CWD is part of the environment; in the same way that a re-exec inherits any changes to the ENV variables, a re-exec should inherit any changes to the CWD. But anyway, I was talking specifically about your Bundler example; I didn't see the point of `-C` in that specific example. Bundler executes right from the start; there's no opportunity for "user code" to change to a different directory, is there? ---------------------------------------- Feature #6648: Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6648#change-111037 * Author: headius (Charles Nutter) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Currently there are no standard mechanisms to get the flags passed to the currently running Ruby implementation.

Oh, and here's an interesting tidbit I just learned that might impact how to handle this: Ruby loads the script *after* changing to the dir specified by `-C`. That means `ruby -C foo x.rb` loads the script `foo/x.rb`.

Issue #6648 has been updated by deivid (David Rodríguez). I agree with @Eregon and I believe ideally we would store `-C` in `ruby_args` but also provide a way to access the original working directory. That way people can choose where to re-run the original command. In the case of Bundler, we would use this feature when we detect that a different version of Bundler is running than the one in the `Gemfile.lock` file. In that case, we would do some environment manipulation to make sure the locked version is actually used in a subsequent process, and then re-run the original process. In our case, I think it would only make sense to re-run the original command in the original directory. Alternatively, we could do some manipulation of original `-C` arguments to expand them to a single value with the absolute path where Ruby ends up running. But I like the `Process.original_working_directory` idea better. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6648: Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6648#change-111032 * Author: headius (Charles Nutter) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Currently there are no standard mechanisms to get the flags passed to the currently running Ruby implementation.

So I propose to either: 1. put it back in the standard library, or 2. separate it into a new gem. Adding a new dependency may not be welcomed, as seen in the recent issues with base64. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
