Issue #20397 has been reported by vo.x (Vit Ondruch). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20397: The nkf license in LEGAL file seems to be obsolete https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20397 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The LEGAL file seems to contain [obsolete information](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/a69f0047cb489c136001937442c1… about nkf license. It seems that nkf indeed use such license, but in upstream, it was first changed to [MIT](https://github.com/nurse/nkf/commit/c12280757bfb275d6f9e6b0bf6293a28b0… and then immediately to [zlib](https://github.com/nurse/nkf/commit/2ed3e1c270f1deb9487f7bc7d7586030f… license. Ruby has picked up that change with commit:git|13313688b243882aff7815598ddd9fcbae69bc17 Maybe @naruse can comment about this. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117121] [Ruby master Bug#20332] AFter upgrading to ruby v 3.2.3 rb_scan_args() skips argument value

Issue #20332 has been reported by praveenrocket (Praveen N). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20332: AFter upgrading to ruby v 3.2.3 rb_scan_args() skips argument value https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20332 * Author: praveenrocket (Praveen N) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.2.3 * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi, Note: I am not an expert at ruby. I am working on ibm_db gem, its an adapter developed using ruby C extension, which helps ruby & rails applications to connect to DB2 database. Here is a github link for its source https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/tree/master As of now ibm_db gem is compatible with ruby v 3.1. Now I am trying to make ibm_db gem compatible with ruby v 3.2.3. All my test cases were working for ruby v 3.1, but post upgrading to ruby v 3.2.3, most of my test cases are failing. After debugging using gdb what I see is, my ruby test cases calls ruby C extension API passing required arguments, but inside C extension code arguments are not parsed, indeed nothing is read. Because of this most of test cases are failing. Below is a sample ruby script which when run calls ibm_db extension, `$ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'ibm_db' => true irb(main):002:0> conn = IBM_DB.connect("DATABASE=sample;HOSTNAME=waldevdbclnxtst06.dev.rocketsoftware.com;PORT=60000;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=zurbie;PWD=A2m8test;",'','') (irb):2: warning: undefining the allocator of T_DATA class IBM_DB::Connection => #<IBM_DB::Connection:0x00007ff60314ce58> irb(main):003:0> stmt = IBM_DB.exec conn,'create table abc(C1 int)' => false irb(main):004:0> irb(main):005:0> IBM_DB.close(conn) => true irb(main):006:0> exit ` Above, If you observe IBM_DB.exec is called passing two arguments conn & string with create table query. In extension code https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/blob/master/IBM_DB_Driver/ibm_db.c, below function will be called VALUE ibm_db_exec(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) { .... rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "21", &connection, &stmt, &options); ...... } Note: Please refer https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/blob/master/IBM_DB_Driver/ibm_db.c for complete code. rb_scan_args used to parse arguments very well in ruby v 3.1, but now its failing to do so. I see stmt parameter doesnt hold anything. I just want to know whats issue here, Am I passing arguments in wrong way (in ruby script), or am I not using rb_scan_args properly ? To reproduce, Install ruby v 3.2.3, Install ibm_db gem version 5.4.1 (latest) Run above sample ruby script using IRB. Response at earliest is much appreciated. Thanks Praveen -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117390] [Ruby master Feature#20404] `2pi`
by mame (Yusuke Endoh) 09 Apr '24

Issue #20404 has been reported by mame (Yusuke Endoh). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20404: `2pi` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20404 * Author: mame (Yusuke Endoh) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I propose a new Float literal: `2pi`. ```ruby p 2pi #=> 6.283185307179586 == 2 * Math::PI ``` I am not proposing `1pi`, `3pi` or `4pi`. I do only `2pi`. Because in most cases, all you need is `2pi`. Any other multiple of pi is rarely needed. I've got the statistics. GitHub code search revealed that more than 80% of the occurrences of `n * Math::PI` and `Math::PI * n` had n = 2. [1] | n |`n * Math::PI`|`Math::PI * n`|sum | % | |--:|-------------:|-------------:|----:|---:| | 0 | 48| 1| 49|1.4%| | 1 | 58| 3| 61|1.7%| | 2 | 2300| 534| 2834|80.4%| | 3 | 218| 17| 235|6.7%| | 4 | 200| 23| 223|6.3%| | 5 | 24| 2| 26|0.7%| | 6 | 41| 3| 44|1.2%| | 7 | 14| 0| 14|0.4%| | 8 | 6| 2| 8|0.2%| | 9 | 8| 0| 8|0.2%| |10 | 17| 0| 17|0.5%| |11 | 2| 0| 2|0.1%| |12 | 2| 0| 2|0.1%| Here is the PIe chart ![](https://gist.github.com/assets/21557/1c077af3-f753-4ee1-bc75-5b38a3bd6487) I know that a new constant name "Tau" is proposed (#4897, #17496). But notice: "2pi" and "Tau" have the same number of characters. Then, it is obvious that familiarity is better. In fact, `2 * Math::PI` is 4 times more than `Math::PI * 2`, indicating that all programmers are copying "2pi" in their textbook. The idea of 2pi came up regularly in chats among committers. The discussion quickly shifted to its generalization: should we treat `3e` as `3 * Math::E`, or even `42foo` as `42 * foo`? However, I noticed such a generalization is unnecessary because all we need is 2pi. Unneeded generalization is evil. Here is a patch. ```diff diff --git a/parse.y b/parse.y index 55619273b8..93b16a16ac 100644 --- a/parse.y +++ b/parse.y @@ -10208,6 +10208,13 @@ parse_numeric(struct parser_params *p, int c) return set_number_literal(p, tINTEGER, suffix, 10, 0); } } + else if (c == '2' && peek(p, 'p') && peek_n(p, 'i', 1)) { + tokadd(p, c); + tokadd(p, nextc(p)); + tokadd(p, nextc(p)); + tokfix(p); + return set_number_literal(p, tFLOAT, 0, 0, 0); + } for (;;) { switch (c) { diff --git a/ruby_parser.c b/ruby_parser.c index 6d85a72c5b..3a6e0b5704 100644 --- a/ruby_parser.c +++ b/ruby_parser.c @@ -936,6 +936,9 @@ VALUE rb_node_float_literal_val(const NODE *n) { const rb_node_float_t *node = RNODE_FLOAT(n); + if (strcmp(node->val, "2pi") == 0) { + return DBL2NUM(2 * M_PI); + } double d = strtod(node->val, 0); if (node->minus) { d = -d; P I Happy a r l fool ``` [1] I used these queries: [`/[^.]\b2 ?\* ?Math::PI/ language:Ruby`](https://github.com/search?type=code&q=%2F%5B%5E.%5D%5Cb2+%3… and [`/Math::PI *\* *2\b *[^.\/]/ language:Ruby`](https://github.com/search?type=code&q=%2FMath%3A%3API+*%5C*… -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117034] [Ruby master Misc#20320] Using OSU Open Source Lab native ppc64le/s390x CI services trigged on pull-requests
by jaruga (Jun Aruga) 08 Apr '24

Issue #20320 has been reported by jaruga (Jun Aruga). ---------------------------------------- Misc #20320: Using OSU Open Source Lab native ppc64le/s390x CI services trigged on pull-requests https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20320 * Author: jaruga (Jun Aruga) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- We have been using Travis CI to run unit tests the native arm64/ppc64le/s390x in the ruby/ruby, ruby/zlib and ruby/prism repositories in the Ruby project. One of the challenges is Travis CI's chronic unstable infra issues. To be fair, folks at Travis CI support are helpful, usually responding quickly, sometimes not. And I hope Travis CI will find the root causes of the issues. However, I would like to find alternative way to run the native ppc64le/s390x pipelines on pull-requests to change the current challenge fundamentally. And I heard from folks at IBM that the there were CI services that we could run on the pull-requests. The CI services are Jenkins services provided by Oregon State University (OSU) Open Source Lab below. The CI services are the only alternative of running the native ppc64le/s390x pipelines on pull-requests as far as I know. As a note, we are already using SSH-accessing servers provided by OSU Open Source Lab. * PowerPC64 (ppc64le): https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/ - POWER Continuous Integration (POWER CI) * IBM Z (s390x): https://osuosl.org/services/ibm-z/ - IBM Z Continuous Integration (IBM Z CI) Today I requested the CI services from the request form pages above. And I will try the services by myself first. Then if it looks good to us, I want to migrate the Travis CI ppc64le/s390x pipelines to the OSU Open Source Lab's ones. I will comment on this ticket when there are updates. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115649] [Ruby master Bug#20050] Segfault on Ruby 3.2.2 on x86_64 Darwin 20 (maybe in Array#hash)

Issue #20050 has been reported by martinemde (Martin Emde). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20050: Segfault on Ruby 3.2.2 on x86_64 Darwin 20 (maybe in Array#hash) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20050 * Author: martinemde (Martin Emde) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-darwin20] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi, In the rubygems & bundler repositories we've now had two segfaults in the same exact code within days of merging a change to that code, both on ruby 3.2.2 on darwin20. 1. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/actions/runs/7110489973/job/1935706778… 2. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/actions/runs/7131889001/job/1942130416… The specific error seems to happen when calculating the hash of the array in Gem::NameTuple#hash. 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." I have not been able to reproduce this locally with the same version of ruby (but I'm on darwin22 instead of 20). I will follow up if we continue to see this same crash. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115952] [Ruby master Bug#20102] Introduce `Fiber#resuming?`

Issue #20102 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20102: Introduce `Fiber#resuming?` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20102 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- There are some tricky edge cases when using `Fibre#raise` and `Fiber#kill`, e.g. ```ruby fiber = nil killer = Fiber.new do fiber.raise("Stop") end fiber = Fiber.new do killer.resume end fiber.resume # 4:in `raise': attempt to raise a resuming fiber (FiberError) # 4:in `block in <main>' ``` Async has to deal with this edge case explicitly by rescuing the exception: https://github.com/socketry/async/blob/ffd019d9c1d547926a28fe8f36bf7bfe91d8… I'd like to avoid doing that and instead just ask "Can I kill/raise on this fiber right now?" which is determined by whether the fiber itself can be resumed or transferred to. 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/

Issue #20231 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20231: Don't wait in io_binwrite_string if not necessary. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20231 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- PR: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9792 Writing to a buffered IO can result in the entire internal buffer being flushed, which causes `io_binwrite_string_internal` to return 0. In that case, we were setting `errno = EAGAIN`. This causes `rb_io_maybe_wait_writable` to be invoked, however we should immediately retry `io_binwrite_string_internal` instead. The reason why calling `rb_io_maybe_wait_writable` is a bad idea in general, is that not all IO can go via this mechanism in every situation - in other words, `kqueue` does not support `kevent("/dev/null", writable)` and returns errno=22 `EINVAL`. The same applies to some kinds of pipes, TTYs, etc. Indirectly responsible for <https://github.com/socketry/async/issues/301>. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
