[ruby-core:116930] [Ruby master Bug#20296] Complex(:sym, exception: false) generate exception with weird timing

Issue #20296 has been reported by MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20296: Complex(:sym, exception: false) generate exception with weird timing https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20296 * Author: MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Happens in Ruby 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.3.0 (didn't test others). Add this to a file and execute it as-is: ``` 3.times { Complex(:sym, exception: false) } puts "hi" ``` The output will be: ``` $ ruby local2.rb hi local2.rb:1:in `Complex': can't convert Array into Complex (TypeError) 3.times { Complex([], exception: false) } ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from local2.rb:1:in `block in <main>' from local2.rb:1:in `times' from local2.rb:1:in `<main>' local2.rb:1:in `Complex': can't convert Array into Complex (TypeError) 3.times { Complex([], exception: false) } ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from local2.rb:1:in `block in <main>' from local2.rb:1:in `times' from local2.rb:1:in `<main>' local2.rb:1:in `Complex': can't convert Array into Complex (TypeError) 3.times { Complex([], exception: false) } ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from local2.rb:1:in `block in <main>' from local2.rb:1:in `times' from local2.rb:1:in `<main>' ``` So the exception is still reported (instead of being swallow), but the puts, which is after, had the time to execute first. I can even put a `sleep()` in between and the exceptions are still reported after the puts. In a IRB, there is no exception at all and everything seems to work as expected. Happens if I pass in an Array too. Doesn't seem to happen with bad strings. There is also a quadratic behavior somewhere in there. Running the code in an IRB (which doesn't show exceptions), if you double the number of `times` in the loop, it takes 4x as long. This is probably related... -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117644] [Ruby master Feature#20443] Allow Major GC's to be disabled
by eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House) 11 Jul '24

Issue #20443 has been reported by eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20443: Allow Major GC's to be disabled https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20443 * Author: eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- [[Github PR #10598]](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/10598) ## Background Ruby's GC running during Rails requests can have negative impacts on currently running requests, causing applications to have high tail-latency. A technique to mitigate this high tail-latency is Out-of-band GC (OOBGC). This is basically where the application is run with GC disabled, and then GC is explicitly started after each request, or when no requests are in progress. This can reduce the tail latency, but also introduces problems of its own. Long GC pauses after each request reduce throughput. This is more pronounced on threading servers like Puma because all the threads have to finish processing user requests and be "paused" before OOBGC can be triggered. This throughput decrease happens for a couple of reasons: 1. There are few heuristics available for users to determine when GC should run, this means that in OOBGC scenarios, it's possible that major GC's are being run more than necessary. 2. The lack of any GC during a request means that lots of garbage objects have been created and not cleaned up, so the process is using more memory than it should - requiring major GC's run as part of OOBGC to do more work and therefore take more time. This ticket attempts to address these issues by: 1. Provide `GC.disable_major` and its antonym `GC.enable_major` to disable and enable only major GC 2. Provide `GC.needs_major?` as a basic heuristic allowing users to tell when Ruby should run a Major GC. These ideas were originally proposed by @ko1 and @byroot in [this rails issue](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/50449) Disabling GC major's would still allow minor GC's to run during the request, avoiding the ballooning memory usage caused by not running GC at all, and reducing the time that a major takes when we do run it, because the nursery objects have been cleaned up during the request already so there is less work for a major GC to do. This can be used in combination with `GC.needs_major?` to selectively run an OOBGC only when necessary ## Implementation This PR adds 3 new methods to the `GC` module - `GC.disable_major` This prevents major GC's from running automatically. It does not restrict minors. When `objspace->rgengc.need_major_gc` is set and a GC is run, instead of running a major, new heap pages will be allocated and a minor run instead. `objspace->rgengc.need_major_gc` will remain set until a major is manually run. If a major is not manually run then the process will eventually run out of memory. When major GC's are disabled, object promotion is disabled. That is, no objects will increment their ages during a minor GC. This is to attempt to minimise heap growth during the period between major GC's, by restricting the number of old-gen objects that will remain unconsidered by the GC until the next major. When `GC.start` is run, then major GC's will be enabled, a GC triggered with the options passed to `GC.start`, and then `disable_major` will be set to the state it was in before `GC.start` was called. - `GC.enable_major` This simply unsets the bit preventing major GC's. This will revert the GC to normal generational behaviour. Everything behaves as default again. - `GC.needs_major?` This exposes the value of `objspace->rgengc.need_major_gc` to the user level API. This is already exposed in `GC.latest_gc_info[:need_major_by]` but I felt that a simpler interface would make this easier to use and result in more readable code. eg. ```ruby out_of_band do GC.start if GC.needs_major? end ``` Because object aging is disabled when majors are disabled it is recommended to use this in conjunction with `Process.warmup`, which will prepare the heap by running a major GC, compacting the heap, and promoting every remaining object to old-gen. This ensures that minor GC's are running over the smallets possible set of young objects when `GC.disable_major` is true. ## Benchmarks We ran some tests in production on Shopify's core monolith over a weekend and found that: **Mean time spent in GC, as well as p99.9 and p99.99 GC times are all improved.** <img width="1000" alt="Screenshot 2024-04-22 at 16 41 49" src="https://github.com/ruby/ruby/assets/31869/6cff5b11-2e21-40c1-bb84-d994e0e17…"> **p99 GC time is slightly higher.** <img width="1000" alt="Screenshot 2024-04-22 at 16 44 55" src="https://github.com/ruby/ruby/assets/31869/dc645cbe-9495-46f0-8485-24e790c42…"> We're running far fewer OOBGC major GC's now that we have `GC.needs_major?` than we were before, and we believe that this is contributing to a slightly increased number of minor GC's. raising the p99 slightly. **App response times are all improved** We see a 9% reduction in average and p99 response times when compared against standard GC (4% p99.9 and p99.99). <img width="1000" alt="Screenshot 2024-04-22 at 16 55 53" src="https://github.com/ruby/ruby/assets/31869/8a80c102-1564-4bc9-ba44-6e9a8b85f…"> This drops slightly to an 8% reduction in average and p99 response times when compared against standard OOBGC (3.59 p99.9 and 4% p99.99) <img width="1000" alt="Screenshot 2024-04-22 at 16 56 10" src="https://github.com/ruby/ruby/assets/31869/1baef7ea-0155-4ff9-8ba4-a967b7574…"> -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117431] [Ruby master Misc#20407] Question about applying encoding modifier to an interpolated Regexp
by andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin) 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Issue #20407 has been reported by andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin). ---------------------------------------- Misc #20407: Question about applying encoding modifier to an interpolated Regexp https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20407 * Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I am wondering how Regexp encoding modifiers (u, s, e, n) interfere in encoding negotiation of interpolated Regexp literal. Examples #1 ```ruby # encoding: us-ascii # Unicode: Ф - U+0424 # windows-1251: Ф - 0xD4 # without encoding modifier puts /a #{ "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # Windows-1251 puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # US-ASCII puts /a #{ "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") } c/.encoding # UTF-8 puts /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } c/.encoding # ASCII-8BIT # with encoding modifier puts /a #{ "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # Windows-1251 puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # EUC-JP puts /a #{ "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") } c/e.encoding # UTF-8 puts /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } c/e.encoding # ASCII-8BIT # string literals concatenation puts ("a" + "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") + "c").encoding # Windows-1251 puts ("a" + "b".encode("windows-1251") + "c").encoding # US-ASCII puts ("a" + "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") + "c").encoding # UTF-8 puts ("a" + "\xc2\xa1".b + "c").encoding # ASCII-8BIT ``` Example #2 ```ruby # encoding: utf-8 # windows-1251: Ф - 0xD4 # unicode: Ф - U+0424 # without encoding modifier puts /a #{ "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # Windows-1251 puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # US-ASCII puts /a #{ "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") } c/.encoding # UTF-8 puts /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } c/.encoding # ASCII-8BIT # with encoding modifier puts /a #{ "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # Windows-1251 puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # EUC-JP puts /a #{ "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") } c/e.encoding # UTF-8 puts /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } c/e.encoding # ASCII-8BIT # string literals concatenation puts ("a" + "\xd4".force_encoding("windows-1251") + "c").encoding # Windows-1251 puts ("a" + "b".encode("windows-1251") + "c").encoding # UTF-8 puts ("a" + "\u0424".force_encoding("UTF-8") + "c").encoding # UTF-8 puts ("a" + "\xc2\xa1".b + "c").encoding # ASCII-8BIT ``` In the examples above the `e` modifier changes Regexp's encoding only in one case when Regexp's encoding would be `US-ASCII` without the modifier: ```ruby # encoding: us-ascii puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # US-ASCII puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # EUC-JP ``` ```ruby # encoding: utf-8 puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/.encoding # US-ASCII puts /a #{ "b".encode("windows-1251") } c/e.encoding # EUC-JP ``` And the `e` modifier doesn't change Regexp's final encoding in all the other cases either Regexp's encoding without modifier is a file source encoding or `ASCII-8BIT`. Looking at the following example: ```ruby # encoding: us-ascii # without modifier p /\xc2\xa1 #{ "a" }\xc2\xa1/.encoding # ASCII-8BIT p /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".force_encoding("EUC-JP") } b/.encoding # EUC-JP p /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } b/.encoding # ASCII-8BIT # with modifier p /\xc2\xa1 #{ "a" }\xc2\xa1/e.encoding # EUC-JP p /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".force_encoding("EUC-JP") } b/e.encoding # EUC-JP p /a #{ "\xc2\xa1".b } b/e.encoding # ASCII-8BIT ``` we can notice that the `e` modifier change `ASCII-8BIT` to `EUC-JP` in the first case but doesn't in the third one. So I assume that the `e` modifier could be applied to the Regexp fragments (`\xc2\xa1` and `\xc2\xa1`) before encoding negotiation and not to the whole result after negotiation. Could you please clarify how it works? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:118383] [Ruby master Bug#20593] `Kernel#format` emits a `too many arguments for format string` warning when called with keyword arguments and none are used
by byroot (Jean Boussier) 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Issue #20593 has been reported by byroot (Jean Boussier). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20593: `Kernel#format` emits a `too many arguments for format string` warning when called with keyword arguments and none are used https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20593 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- `Kernel#format` emits a warning when too many arguments are passed. It does so for postional arguments, which make sense, as it could be indicative of a bug: ```ruby $VERBOSE = true format("%s", 1, 2) # warning: too many arguments for format string ``` And doesn't for keyword arguments, as it's much less likely to be a bug: ```ruby $VERBOSE = true format("%{a}s", a: 1, unused: 2) # no warning ``` However it does emit a warning when passing keyword arguments, if none are used: ```ruby $VERBOSE = true format("test", unused: 2) # warning: too many arguments for format string ``` Which I believe is a bug, as it's common for `format` to take a user provided string to allow for safe interpolation, but with no intention to enforce any of the arguments to be interpolated. So I think that last case shouldn't emit a warning. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
