[ruby-core:116666] [Ruby master Bug#20255] Embedded arrays aren't moved correctly across ractors

Issue #20255 has been reported by luke-gru (Luke Gruber). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20255: Embedded arrays aren't moved correctly across ractors https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20255 * Author: luke-gru (Luke Gruber) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- `ractor.send(ary, move: true)` works incorrectly because if `ary` is embedded, the new moved object doesn't populate its own embedded space, it uses the MovedObject's embedded space. example: ```ruby r = Ractor.new { inner_ary = receive values = {} values[:equal] = (inner_ary == ["",{},2,3,4,5,6]) values[:string] = inner_ary.to_s values } ary = [String.new,Hash.new,2,3,4,5,6] r.send(ary, move: true) r_values = r.take p r_values[:equal] p r_values[:string] # => false # => "[\"\", {}, 2, 2.0, 21747991570, String, 3]" ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:114936] [Ruby master Feature#19908] Update to Unicode 15.1

Issue #19908 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19908: Update to Unicode 15.1 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19908 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: duerst (Martin Dürst) * Target version: 3.3 ---------------------------------------- The Unicode 15.1 is released. The current enc-unicode.rb seems to fail because of `Indic_Conjunct_break` properties with values. I'm not sure how these properties should be handled well. `/\p{InCB_Liner}/` or `/\p{InCB=Liner}/` as the comments in that file? https://github.com/nobu/ruby/tree/unicode-15.1 is the former. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115512] [Ruby master Bug#20025] Parsing identifiers/constants is case-folding dependent
by kddnewton (Kevin Newton) 12 Mar '25

Issue #20025 has been reported by kddnewton (Kevin Newton). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20025: Parsing identifiers/constants is case-folding dependent https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20025 * Author: kddnewton (Kevin Newton) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- When CRuby parses identifiers, it is encoding-dependent. Once the identifier is found, it determines if it starts with a uppercase or lowercase codepoint. This determines if the identifier is a constant or not. The function is charge of this is `rb_sym_constant_char_p`. For non-unicode encodings where the leading byte has the top-bit set, this relies on onigmo's `mbc_case_fold` to determine if it is a constant or not (as opposed to `is_code_ctype`). This works for almost every single codepoint in every encoding, but has one very weird edge case. In the Windows-1253 encoding for the 0xB5 byte, it's the micro sign. The micro sign, when case folded, becomes the uppercase mu character, and then the lowercase mu character, or 0xEC. This means that even though 0xB5 reports itself as being a lowercase codepoint, it gets parsed as a constant. This example might make this more clear: ``` ruby class Context < BasicObject def method_missing(name, *) = :identifier def self.const_missing(name) = :constant end encoding = Encoding::Windows_1253 character = 0xB5.chr(encoding) source = "# encoding: #{encoding.name}\n#{character}\n" result = Context.new.instance_eval(source) puts "#{encoding.name} encoding of 0x#{character.ord.to_s(16).upcase}" puts " [[:alpha:]] => #{character.match?(/[[:alpha:]]/)}" puts " [[:alnum:]] => #{character.match?(/[[:alnum:]]/)}" puts " [[:upper:]] => #{character.match?(/[[:upper:]]/)}" puts " [[:lower:]] => #{character.match?(/[[:lower:]]/)}" puts " parsed as #{result}" ``` this results in the output of: ``` Windows-1253 encoding of 0xB5 [[:alpha:]] => true [[:alnum:]] => true [[:upper:]] => false [[:lower:]] => true parsed as constant ``` To be clear, I don't think the case-folding is incorrect here (and @duerst confirms that it is correct). I believe instead that it is incorrect to use case-folding here to determine if a codepoint is uppercase or not. Note that this only impacts this one codepoint in this one encoding, so I don't believe this is actually a large-scale problem. But I found it surprising, and think we should change it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116369] [Ruby master Feature#20202] Memoized endless method definitions

Issue #20202 has been reported by matheusrich (Matheus Richard). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20202: Memoized endless method definitions https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20202 * Author: matheusrich (Matheus Richard) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I propose introducing a shorthand for memoized endless method definitions: ```rb class Foo def bar ||= :memoized_value # It should behave like def bar = (@bar ||= :memoized_value) end ``` Not only is this shorter and (IMO) a natural follow-up for endless method definitions, but it's also a common pattern on Ruby codebases. It's very useful to decompose responsibilities into several objects: ```rb class User def notifications_enabled? = settings.notifications? def enable_notifications = (settings.notifications = true) def disable_notifications = (settings.notifications = false) private def settings = @settings ||= Settings.new(self) end class User::Settings attr_writer :notifications def initialize(user) @user = user @notifications = false end def notifications? = @notifications end u = User.new u.notifications_enabled? # => false u.enable_notifications u.notifications_enabled? # => true ``` In the example, the `settings` method could be rewritten as ```rb def settings ||= Settings.new(self) ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20309 has been reported by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20309: Bundled gems for Ruby 3.5 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20309 * Author: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- I propose migrate the following default gems to bundled gems at Ruby 3.5. So, It means users will get warnings if users try to load them. * ostruct * irb * reline * readline (wrapper file for readline-ext and reline) * io-console * logger * fiddle * pstore * open-uri * yaml (wrapper file for psych) * win32ole I have a plan to migrate the following default gems too. But I need to more feedback from other committers about them. * rdoc * We need to change build task like download rdoc gem before document generation. * or We make document generation is optional from Ruby 3.5 * We explicitly separate `make install` and `make install-doc` * un * `ruby -run` is one of cool feature of Ruby. Should we avoid uninstalling `un` gem? * singleton * This is famous design pattern. Should we enforce users add them to their Gemfile? * forwadable * `reline` needs to add forwardable their `runtime_dependency` after migration. * weakref * I'm not sure how impact after migrating bundled gems. * fcntl * Should we integrate these constants into ruby core? I would like to migrate `ipaddr` and `uri` too. But these are used by webrick that is mock server for our test suite. We need to rewrite `webrick` with `TCPSocker` or extract `ipaddr` and `uri` dependency from `webrick` Other default gems depend on our build process or other libraries deeply. I will update this proposal if I could extract them from default gems. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
