[ruby-core:123928] [Ruby Feature#21717] Introduce Fiber::Scheduler#process_fork hook

Issue #21717 has been reported by noteflakes (Sharon Rosner). ---------------------------------------- Feature #21717: Introduce Fiber::Scheduler#process_fork hook https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21717 * Author: noteflakes (Sharon Rosner) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- When using a fiber scheduler and forking a process, the child process "inherits" the fiber scheduler. For the fiber scheduler to be usable in the forked process, its internal state should in most cases be reset. I propose the introduction of a `Fiber::Scheduler#process_fork` hook, called by the Ruby runtime immediately after a fork.

[ruby-core:123569] [Ruby Bug#21652] Marshal#dump documentation out-of-date/unclear regarding Data class

Issue #21652 has been reported by ryannevell (Ryan Nevell). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21652: Marshal#dump documentation out-of-date/unclear regarding Data class https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21652 * Author: ryannevell (Ryan Nevell) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- With the introduction of the `Data` class in Ruby 3.2, the `Marshal#dump` documentation is confusing since it claims that "Marshal can’t dump ... an instance of ... Data". It is even cross-linked to the new `Data` class. However, and thankfully, `Marshal#dump` does not have any issues serializing instances of `Data` or objects of the defined `Data` types. This message predates the introduction of the `Data` class, and likely refers to wrapped C data (`T_DATA`), instead. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:122900] [Ruby Bug#21529] Deprecate the /o modifier and warn against using it

Issue #21529 has been reported by jpcamara (JP Camara). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21529: Deprecate the /o modifier and warn against using it https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21529 * Author: jpcamara (JP Camara) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I recently ran into a bug in some code because it was using the /o modifier as an optimization, not realizing it created a permanent, immutable value after the first time it gets evaluated. I dug into how the modifier works in CRuby and the history of it here: https://jpcamara.com/2025/08/02/the-o-in-ruby-regex.html. The feature seems like a total footgun with almost no upside. If I run a benchmark between a local regex, and a regex cached by /o, there is no real difference. ```rb require "benchmark" def letters "A-Za-z" end words = %w[the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog] Benchmark.bm do |bm| bm.report("without /o:") do regex = /\A[A-Za-z]+\z/ words.each do |word| word.match(regex) end end bm.report("with /o: ") do words.each do |word| word.match(/\A[#{letters}]+\z/o) end end end ``` Most of the time I found that "without /o" actually came out ahead. ``` user system total real without /o: 0.000019 0.000003 0.000022 ( 0.000014) with /o: 0.000020 0.000001 0.000021 ( 0.000020) ``` I'd like to deprecate the feature and update the docs to warn against using it. I'd be happy to submit a PR doing that. Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:123930] [Ruby Bug#21718] TypeError:wrong argument type ... (expected Array)

Issue #21718 has been reported by vo.x (Vit Ondruch). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21718: TypeError:wrong argument type ... (expected Array) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21718 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 4.0.0dev (2025-11-18 master 85abc59c32) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Testing Ruby 4.0 on Fedora, we observe these errors in [MiniMagick](https://github.com/minimagick/minimagick/) ~~~ 1) MiniMagick::Image#composite yields an optional block Failure/Error: yield composite if block_given? TypeError: wrong argument type MiniMagick::Tool (expected Array) # ./lib/mini_magick/image.rb:515:in 'block in MiniMagick::Image#composite' # ./lib/mini_magick/tool.rb:34:in 'MiniMagick::Tool.new' # ./lib/mini_magick.rb:28:in 'block (2 levels) in module:MiniMagick' # ./lib/mini_magick/image.rb:514:in 'MiniMagick::Image#composite' # ./spec/lib/mini_magick/image_spec.rb:609:in 'block (4 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/lib/mini_magick/image_spec.rb:610:in 'block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' ~~~ and [Vagrant](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant) / [vagrant-libvirt](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt) ~~~ 340) VagrantPlugins::ProviderLibvirt::Util::NetworkUtil #libvirt_networks should retrieve the list of networks Failure/Error: let(:machine) { iso_env.machine(:test, :libvirt) } TypeError: wrong argument type Vagrant::Config::V2::DummyConfig (expected Array) # /usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-2.3.4/plugins/kernel_v2/config/vm.rb:713:in 'Kernel#inspect' # /usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-2.3.4/plugins/kernel_v2/config/vm.rb:713:in 'VagrantPlugins::Kernel_V2::VMConfig#get_provider_config' # /usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-2.3.4/lib/vagrant/vagrantfile.rb:75:in 'Vagrant::Vagrantfile#machine' # /usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-2.3.4/lib/vagrant/environment.rb:740:in 'Vagrant::Environment#machine' # ./spec/support/unit_context.rb:26:in 'block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/support/unit_context.rb:37:in 'block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/support/unit_context.rb:51:in 'block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/support/unit_context.rb:43:in 'block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' # /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems.rb:303:in 'Kernel#load' # /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems.rb:303:in 'Gem.activate_and_load_bin_path' ~~~ Trying to investigate closer the vagrant-libvirt case, I really cannot wrap my head around it, because it fails with innocently looking `result.inspect` [1]. The image_magick fails at `yield composite if block_given?` line, so I suspect that the `yield composite` is the specific place. Since this does not make any sense to me, I have grepped the Ruby source code for: ~~~ $ grep -R -e TypeError | grep "wrong argument type.*Array" ... snip ... prism/extension.c: rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "wrong argument type %"PRIsVALUE" (expected Array)", rb_obj_class(scopes)); prism/extension.c: rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "wrong argument type %"PRIsVALUE" (expected Array)", rb_obj_class(locals)); prism/extension.c: rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "wrong argument type %"PRIsVALUE" (expected Array)", rb_obj_class(names)); ~~~ This seems to come from https://github.com/ruby/prism/commit/21abb6b7c499b41a951eba7c8219c336a656da… . So is it the reason? Not sure.

I have bisected the issue to https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/14d154076876 but I don't see how this can introduce the bug. I assume it's some undefined behavior that is potentially triggered. (However reverting that patch works...) I think the behavior is related to the embedded string being expanded into a proper string, but my internal-fu isn't good enough. I hope this helps to debug the issue. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:122643] [Ruby Bug#21498] Windows - Ruby Overrides C Library APIs thus breaking them
by cfis (Charlie Savage) 25 Nov '25

Issue #21498 has been reported by cfis (Charlie Savage). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21498: Windows - Ruby Overrides C Library APIs thus breaking them https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21498 * Author: cfis (Charlie Savage) * Status: Open * ruby -v: *all* on windows (testing with ruby 3.4.3 (2025-04-14 revision d0b7e5b6a0) +PRISM [x64-mswin64_140]) * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I am trying to wrap a simple C++ library, https://github.com/baderouaich/BitmapPlusPlus, as a Ruby extension. However when I use the extension to write a bitmap to disk the bitmap is corrupted. This is because the library uses std::ofstream which eventually uses the C API fclose to write the final bytes to the bitmap file and then closes it. The problem is that Ruby overrides `fclose` and replaces it with `rb_w32_fclose`. It then *exports* its custom version from from x64-vcruntime140-ruby340.dll. And the exported version is broken (at least from the standpoint of the C standard library). Note this has been a long standing issue. The first report I see is from 2013: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8569 More recently in 2020 (which explains the issue very well): https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/3942#issuecomment-610673401 I understand that Ruby is trying to provide a platform independent API. But the problem is this solution breaks any third party libraries that rely on these C APIs (which of course are very common). And there is no good workaround (see https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/3942#issuecomment-611072774) So would it be possible for Ruby to stop exporting custom versions of basic C APIs? The code that does it is here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/win32/mkexports.rb#L41 Ruby of course could still use its custom versions of fclose, read, write etc within ruby.exe and x64-vcruntime140-ruby340.dll. But they should not be exported from x64-vcruntime140-ruby340.dll and thus be off limits to extensions. If a case comes up where an extension really needs access to rb_w32_fclose instead of fclose then an extension developer can use an `#ifdef _WIN32` to do so and work across platforms. That at least puts the developer in control versus now where I don't see any way I can to wrap the bitmap library for usage in Ruby. From my experience the biggest problem is the replacing of fclose with rb_w32_fclose. But I propose removing all such mappings, which include: FD_CLR=rb_w32_fdclr FD_ISSET=rb_w32_fdisset Sleep=rb_w32_Sleep accept=rb_w32_accept access=rb_w32_uaccess bind=rb_w32_bind close=rb_w32_close connect=rb_w32_connect dup2=rb_w32_dup2 fclose=rb_w32_fclose fstat=rb_w32_fstati128 get_osfhandle=rb_w32_get_osfhandle getcwd=rb_w32_ugetcwd getenv=rb_w32_ugetenv gethostbyaddr=rb_w32_gethostbyaddr gethostbyname=rb_w32_gethostbyname gethostname=rb_w32_gethostname getpeername=rb_w32_getpeername getpid=rb_w32_getpid getppid=rb_w32_getppid getprotobyname=rb_w32_getprotobyname getprotobynumber=rb_w32_getprotobynumber getservbyname=rb_w32_getservbyname getservbyport=rb_w32_getservbyport getsockname=rb_w32_getsockname getsockopt=rb_w32_getsockopt inet_ntop=rb_w32_inet_ntop inet_pton=rb_w32_inet_pton ioctlsocket=rb_w32_ioctlsocket isatty=rb_w32_isatty listen=rb_w32_listen lseek=rb_w32_lseek lstat=rb_w32_ulstati128 mkdir=rb_w32_umkdir mmap=rb_w32_mmap mprotect=rb_w32_mprotect munmap=rb_w32_munmap pipe=rb_w32_pipe pread=rb_w32_pread pwrite=rb_w32_pwrite read=rb_w32_read recv=rb_w32_recv recvfrom=rb_w32_recvfrom rename=rb_w32_urename rmdir=rb_w32_urmdir select=rb_w32_select send=rb_w32_send sendmsg sendto=rb_w32_sendto setsockopt=rb_w32_setsockopt shutdown=rb_w32_shutdown socket=rb_w32_socket stati128=rb_w32_ustati128 strcasecmp=msvcrt.stricmp strerror=rb_w32_strerror strncasecmp=msvcrt.strnicmp times=rb_w32_times unlink=rb_w32_uunlink utime=rb_w32_uutime utimensat=rb_w32_uutimensat utimes=rb_w32_uutimes write=rb_w32_write -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Uses `__builtin_ctz()` for first-difference detection, `__restrict__` pointers, `LIKELY`/`UNLIKELY` branch hints. **NEON (ARM64):** 16 bytes/iteration using `uint8x16_t` vectors, horizontal min for difference detection. **Thresholds:** - `< 16 bytes` � standard memcmp (setup overhead) - `16-256 bytes` � SIMD - `> 256 bytes` � memcmp (cache effects dominate) **Type safety:** All pointers cast to `unsigned char*` (prevents signed comparison UB). ## Platform Support | Platform | Implementation | Fallback | |----------|----------------|----------| | x86_64 | SSE2 (universal since 2003) | memcmp | | ARM64 | NEON | memcmp | | Others | - | memcmp | Runtime detection, no special build flags required. ## Testing ```bash # Functional (all existing tests pass) make test-all # Performance ./ruby benchmark/string_comparison_simple.rb # Verify SSE2 instructions objdump -d ruby | grep -A5 "rb_str_cmp" | grep -E "movdqu|pcmpeqb|pmovmskb" ``` ## Design Rationale 1. **Pattern follows `ext/json/simd/simd.h`** - familiar to contributors 2. **Conservative start** - SSE2/NEON (universal), AVX2 is trivial add later 3. **unsigned char*** - matches memcmp semantics, prevents UB 4. **Inline + hot attributes** - compiler optimization hints 5. **Zero breaking changes** - drop-in memcmp replacement ## Future Extensions **Phase 2 (easy):** - AVX2: 32 bytes/iter (~50 LOC, `__builtin_cpu_supports("avx2")`) - `String#index`/`#rindex`: SIMD substring search - `String#casecmp`: case-insensitive SIMD **Phase 3 (advanced):** - UTF-8 validation, `upcase`/`downcase` transforms - SSE4.2 `pcmpistri` for substring search - POPCNT for `Integer#bit_count` ## Impact String comparison is in every Ruby program (hash lookups, routing, JSON, ORMs). This proves SIMD integration works and establishes pattern for future optimizations. **Real-world:** Rails apps, JSON APIs see 10-25% string operation speedup. **Prior art:** V8, Go, Rust, glibc, musl all use SIMD for string ops. --- **Developed with:** Claude Code (AI-assisted, ~3 hours) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
