Because there is Travis CI status page provided by Travis CI. However, even when the page shows ok, I actually see infra issues. https://www.traviscistatus.com/ I would share my activities and report the Travis CI status on the ticket. The ticket's status is not closed until we stop using Travis CI. The easiest option to fix the Travis infra issue is to email Travis CI support `support _AT_ travis-ci.com`. You can check [this ruby/ruby Travis CI wiki page](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/wiki/CI-Servers#travis-ci) for details. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

So it is better to remove this method. ```ruby P = Data.define(:x, :y) p P.new(1, 2).members #=> [:x, :y] Group = Data.define(:name, :members) gs = Group.new('SasadaFamily', %w(ko1 yuki)) p gs.members #=> ["ko1", "yuki"] ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116760] [Ruby master Feature#20265] Deprecate and remove rb_newobj and rb_newobj_of
by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) 28 Nov '24

Issue #20265 has been reported by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20265: Deprecate and remove rb_newobj and rb_newobj_of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20265 * Author: peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- GitHub PR: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9964 I’m proposing deprecating and removing the rb_newobj and rb_newobj_of APIs because they are difficult to use, fragile to use, and requires knowledge of the internal implementation of data types in Ruby. The rb_newobj function creates a T_NONE object. T_NONE objects are tricky to deal with since T_NONE objects cannot be marked, T_NONE objects are not reclaimed by the GC, and changing the object to other types require internal knowledge about the data type. T_NONE objects are not allowed to be marked, so it cannot be GC managed. Since T_NONE objects are skipped during sweeping, it will leak Ruby heap memory if the developer never changes the object to another type. Changing a T_NONE object to another type is tricky. For example, T_STRING objects have many flags for embedded, shared, shared root, encoding, coderange, etc. Many of these flags are not public, preventing direct use by developers. Developers must understand these flags to convert a T_NONE object into a T_STRING object. While the rb_newobj_of function is easier to use than the rb_newobj function, it still requires developers to understand flags, meaning some issues of rb_newobj also apply to rb_newobj_of. Below is the usage of RB_NEWOBJ, rb_newobj, rb_newobj_of, RB_NEWOBJ_OF with vendored Ruby and comments removed. You can see that there are very few gems using these APIs and all are from over a decade ago (the most recent one is from 2011). ``` 2009-11-18 /srv/gems/bleak_house-7.2/ruby/ruby-1.8.7.patch:@@ -438,10 +438,8 @@ rb_newobj() 2023-07-01 /srv/gems/daqing_rucaptcha-3.2.2/ext/rucaptcha/target/release/build/rb-sys-6bdd5b2895b9570a/out/bindings-0.9.78-arm64-darwin22-3.2.2.rs: pub fn rb_newobj() -> VALUE; 2023-07-01 /srv/gems/daqing_rucaptcha-3.2.2/ext/rucaptcha/target/release/build/rb-sys-6bdd5b2895b9570a/out/bindings-0.9.78-arm64-darwin22-3.2.2.rs: pub fn rb_newobj_of(klass: VALUE, flags: VALUE) -> VALUE; 2010-08-06 /srv/gems/langscan-1.2/ext/langscan/ruby/compat/ripper/ripper.c: NODE *n = (NODE*)rb_newobj(); 2011-02-03 /srv/gems/memprof-0.3.10/ext/memprof.c: VALUE ret = rb_newobj(); 2011-02-03 /srv/gems/memprof-0.3.10/ext/tracers/objects.c: last_obj = orig_rb_newobj(); 2006-02-28 /srv/gems/refe-0.8.0.3/data/refe/function_source/rb/newobj:rb_newobj() 2006-02-28 /srv/gems/refe-0.8.0.3/data/refe/function_source/rb/node/newnode: NODE *n = (NODE*)rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/dependency.c: prov = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/dependency.c: req = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/dependency.c: conf = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/dependency.c: obso = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/file.c: file = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/source.c: src = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/source.c: src = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/source.c: src = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/version.c: ver = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/version.c: ver = rb_newobj(); 2011-08-31 /srv/gems/ruby-rpm-1.3.1/ext/rpm/version.c: ver = rb_newobj(); 2006-11-30 /srv/gems/sydparse-1.2.0/sydparse.c: syd_scope = (struct SCOPE*)rb_newobj(); 2006-11-30 /srv/gems/sydparse-1.2.0/sydparse.y: syd_scope = (struct SCOPE*)rb_newobj(); ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111247] [Ruby master Feature#19191] Implicit console input transcoding is more desirable

Issue #19191 has been reported by YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19191: Implicit console input transcoding is more desirable https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19191 * Author: YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In response to Bug #18353, STDIN.internal_encoding are set and encoding is converted explcitly on Windows platform. For example, ```[STDIN.external_encoding, STDIN.internal_encoding] # => [Encoding::Windows-31J, Encoding::UTF-8]``` if STDIN is console. I feel that internal_encoding should be reserved for specific applications. And I think setting internal_encoding to STDIN is not foreseened. Today I found irb breaks STDIN encoding, like ``` >ruby -rirb -e "p [$stdin.external_encoding, $stdin.internal_encoding]; IRB.setup(''); IRB::Irb.new(); p [$stdin.external_encoding, $stdin.internal_encoding]" [#<Encoding:Windows-31J>, #<Encoding:UTF-8>] [#<Encoding:UTF-8>, nil] ``` We know input has console code page encoding. So we always can convert encoding from console code page to io_input_encoding(). ### proposal when reading from console on Windows, input encoding is enfoced to console code page and encoding conversion is implicitly applied. when ```set_encoding("UTF-8")``` implicitly converts console code page to UTF-8. when ```set_encoding("CP437", "UTF-8")``` implicitly converts console code page to UTF-8. external_encoding is ignored. binmode or binary input method is not affected by these specifications. set_encoding, etc. will continue to work as before, and this specification will affect only when encoding conversion on read (NEED_READCONV() and make_readconv()). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19642 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19642: Remove vectored read/write from `io.c`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19642 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- https://github.com/socketry/async/issues/228#issuecomment-1546789910 is a comment from the kernel developer who tells us that `writev` is always worse than `write` system call. A large amount of complexity in `io.c` comes from optional support from `writev`. So, I'd like to remove support for `writev`. I may try to measure the performance before/after. However it may not show much difference, except that the implementation in `io.c` can be much simpler. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111966] [Ruby master Feature#19366] Rename/alias Refinedment#refined_class => #refined_module
by zverok (Victor Shepelev) 19 Nov '24

Issue #19366 has been reported by zverok (Victor Shepelev). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19366: Rename/alias Refinedment#refined_class => #refined_module https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19366 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In #12737, `Refinement#refined_class` is introduced. As "module" is more generic concept than "class", the name misleadingly implies that either this method doesn't returns refined _modules_, or modules can't be refined. This is obviously not true and trivially disproved: ```ruby module Refs refine Enumerable do def foo = puts 'foo' end end Refs.refinements[0].refined_class #=> Enumerable. Which is, well, not a class. # The refinement is usable, so it is not a mute concept: using Refs [1, 2, 3].foo # prints "foo" successfully ``` I believe we refer to "modules" when some feature applies to modules and classes. Unless there is some deeper consideration for the current naming (I don't see justification in #12737, but I might miss something), the method should be renamed or aliased. PS: Sorry for a huge amount of "nitpicky" issues after the version release. Typically, those concerns emerge while I am working on the [changelog](https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/), and I am usually trying to start the work at least a month before the release. Unfortunately, due to you-know-what, I was unable to do it in time this year. After the 3.2 changelog, I plan to switch to the "master changelog" approach (following the development with the "current unreleased changes" document) this year. Unless I'll be unable to due to reasons not in my control. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
