Issue #19967 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19967: Already installed libruby.dylib is used for test on macOS https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19967 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Backport: 3.0: REQUIRED, 3.1: REQUIRED, 3.2: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- On macOS, in the case of `--enable-shared` and `--disable-load-relative`, already install libruby.dylib is used during tests if exists. This is because since [Bug #14992], `DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH` is used instead of `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`. The latter environment variable is used preferentially, whereas the former is used as a fallback, as the name implies. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116640] [Ruby master Feature#20249] Print only backtraces in rb_bug(), by default
by osyoyu (Daisuke Aritomo) 23 Jan '25

Issue #20249 has been reported by osyoyu (Daisuke Aritomo). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20249: Print only backtraces in rb_bug(), by default https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20249 * Author: osyoyu (Daisuke Aritomo) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- ## Background When a segfault or some unexpected situation occurs, `rb_bug()` is called and prints some few hundred to thousands of lines. The most helpful parts are (arguably) "Ruby level backtrace information" and "C-level backtrace information", but those parts are buried in the very lengthy report. In particular, the "Other runtime information" which contains the list of loaded features (scripts?) and the process memory map could be extremely long despite it does not come very useful, at least when developing C extensions. Even a minimal report from a simple script would consist of 250 lines and require 7 PgUps on my MacBook Air (13 inch) to reach the backtrace part, which contains all the information I need. ## Proposal My proposal is to default to a "minimal report" mode with a limited set of sections, perhaps only "Ruby level backtrace information" and "C level backtrace information" only When a full report is desired (i.e. for bug reports), the user could re-run the script with an special environment variable, such as `RUBY_FULL_CRASH_REPORT=1`. Rust implmements a similar pattern. It doesn't print the full backtrace on panics by default; instead, it guides the user to re-run the program with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`. It might be hard to reproduce some crashes and segfaults, especially in long-running daemons. It might be nice to default to the "full" mode when stdout is not a tty, since daemons tend to run in non-tty environments. ## Appendix A typical crash report would look like this: ``` ../../example.rb: [BUG] ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-01-20T15:27:19Z master 366b14c0cd) [arm64-darwin23] -- Crash Report log information -------------------------------------------- (5 lines) -- Control frame information ----------------------------------------------- (~50 lines) -- Ruby level backtrace information ---------------------------------------- (depends on program; typically ~50 lines in Rails) -- C level backtrace information ------------------------------------------- (50+-ish lines, depends on program) -- Machine register context ------------------------------------------------ (~10 lines) -- Threading information --------------------------------------------------- (2 lines) -- Other runtime information ----------------------------------------------- * Loaded script (1 line) * Loaded features (depends on program; 800+ lines in Rails) * Process memory map (depends on environment; around 200 lines?) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111121] [Ruby master Bug#19165] Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow
by matsuda (Akira Matsuda) 16 Jan '25

Issue #19165 has been reported by matsuda (Akira Matsuda). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19165: Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19165 * Author: matsuda (Akira Matsuda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-12-01T08:05:41Z master 4e68b59431) +YJIT [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I found that method delegation via Forwardable is much slower than normal method call when delegating a method that does not take parameters. Here's a benchmark that explains what I mean. ``` require 'forwardable' require 'pp' require 'benchmark/ips' class Obj extend Forwardable attr_accessor :other def initialize @other = Other.new end def foo_without_splat @other.foo end def foo_with_splat(*) @other.foo(*) end def foo_with_splat_with_name(*args) @other.foo(*args) end def foo_with_splat_and_double_splat(*, **) @other.foo(*, **) end def foo_with_triple_dots(...) @other.foo(...) end delegate :foo => :@other end class Other def foo() end end o = Obj.new Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report 'simple call' do o.other.foo end x.report 'delegate without splat' do o.foo_without_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat' do o.foo_with_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat with name' do o.foo_with_splat_with_name end x.report 'delegate with splat and double splat' do o.foo_with_splat_and_double_splat end x.report 'delegate with triple dots' do o.foo_with_triple_dots end x.report 'delegate via forwardable' do o.foo end end (result) simple call 38.918M (± 0.9%) i/s - 194.884M delegate without splat 31.933M (± 1.6%) i/s - 159.611M delegate with splat 10.269M (± 1.6%) i/s - 51.631M delegate with splat with name 9.888M (± 1.0%) i/s - 49.588M delegate with splat and double splat 4.117M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.696M delegate with triple dots 4.169M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.857M delegate via forwardable 9.204M (± 2.1%) i/s - 46.295M ``` It shows that Method delegation with a splat is 3-4 times slower (regardless of whether the parameter is named or not), and delegation with a triple-dot literal is 9-10 times slower than a method delegation without an argument. This may be because calling a method taking a splat always assigns an Array object even when no actual argument was given, and calling a method taking triple-dots assigns five Array objects and two Hash objects (this is equivalent to `*, **`). Are there any chance reducing these object assignments and making them faster? My concern is that the Rails framework heavily uses this kind of method delegations, and presumably it causes unignorable performance overhead. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20575 has been reported by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). ---------------------------------------- Misc #20575: Syntax Moratorium til 3.4 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20575 * Author: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- Hi, As some may remember from the closing keynote at RubyKaigi, we are introducing Syntax Moratorium to support fair development of parsers. During the Syntax Moratorium period, new syntactical changes will be suspended (changes not includes bug fixes, of course). The moratorium period is scheduled to end with the release of 3.4, since the respective parser developers told us they did not need a very long period of time. Matz. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:117929] [Ruby master Feature#20498] Negated method calls
by MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe) 04 Jan '25

Issue #20498 has been reported by MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20498: Negated method calls https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20498 * Author: MaxLap (Maxime Lapointe) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I want to propose the following syntax: `foo.!bar`. I know it's already valid syntax, but please read on for details. When someone write a somewhat long line of code that is negated, the main way I've seen of doing it is: ``` must_create_user = !User.where(somelong: :condition, even_more: "thing").exists? ``` I personally highly dislike it, as I must keep the "not" in the back of my mind as I read the line. When quickly reading a line like this, it's super easy to misread and understand the opposite result. The current ways around this I can think of are: * rename the variable (can be annoying) * Use `unless` (only possible when in a condition; some people, like me, have a hard time grapsping a `unless`) * use a `.!`in the end (`foo.exists?.!`), I've never seen that and it looks ugly to me (this is subjective). * create a new method name with the negated meaning (not always possible) My proposal would look like this: ``` must_create_user = User.where(somelong: :condition, even_more: "thing").!exists? ``` You cannot forget the bang that you saw 15 words ago, it's right there. It also basically reads as English: "user where ... doesn't exists". The main argument against this I can think of is that it's technically already a valid syntax. I believe it's frowned upon to override the bang operator and I'm not aware of places where it is overridden to with also having a parameter. I made a prototype in RubyNext, which you can try here: https://ruby-next.github.io/#gist:0e133bf6f27f2437193dc034d58083dc -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
