Issue #20203 has been reported by vo.x (Vit Ondruch). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20203: `TestEnumerable` test failures with GCC 14 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20203 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * 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 ---------------------------------------- There is ongoing mass rebuild in Fedora and that is first time GCC 14 is used and we observe test failures in `TestEnumerable`. Here are a few examples: ~~~ [ 3000/26419] TestEnumerable#test_transient_heap_sort_bymalloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected ~~~ ~~~ [ 2455/26535] TestEnumerable#test_transient_heap_sort_bycorrupted size vs. prev_size in fastbins ~~~ ~~~ [ 9716/26532] TestEnumerable#test_any_with_unused_blockdouble free or corruption (fasttop) ~~~ The full logs are accessible [here](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=112176941).

[ruby-core:116555] [Ruby master Feature#20233] pkg-config not working on MSVC

Issue #20233 has been reported by jmarrec (Julien Marrec). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20233: pkg-config not working on MSVC https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20233 * Author: jmarrec (Julien Marrec) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- The PKG_CONFIG variable is not respected in win32/Makefile.sub Also, need to ideally use the `--msvc-syntax` flag (pkgconf 1.4.0, released 7 years ago, adds it). But mostly, I realized that the `try_ldflags` in `lib/mkmf.rb` actually passes these ldflags as the `opt` parameter to the `link_command` function, and not as `ldflags`. While the UNIX systems are forgiving, the MSVC compiler is not, and because the flags are passed before the `-link`, MSVC complains that it ignores it and therefore cannot find the requested library. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

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/

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/
