Issue #20319 has been reported by andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20319: Singleton class is being frozen lazily in some cases https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20319 * Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.2.2 * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I've noticed suspicious behaviour (it doesn't affect anything in practice for me though) when an object becomes frozen only its own singleton class becomes frozen immediately. A singleton class of the immediate singleton class becomes frozen lazily after `#singleton_class` method call: ```ruby o = Object.new klass = o.singleton_class.singleton_class o.freeze puts klass.frozen? # false <== here we expect true puts o.singleton_class.singleton_class.frozen? # true puts klass.frozen? # true ``` I would expect all created singleton classes in an object singleton classes chain to become frozen immediately. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115196] [Ruby master Feature#19979] Allow methods to declare that they don't accept a block via `&nil`

Issue #19979 has been reported by ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19979: Allow methods to declare that they don't accept a block via `&nil` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19979 * Author: ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- ## Abstract This feature proposes new syntax to allow methods to explicitly declare that they don't accept blocks, and makes passing of a block to such methods an error. ## Background In #15554, it was proposed to automatically detect methods that do not use the block passed to them, and to error if a block was passed to such methods. As far as I can tell, it was later on closed since #10499 solved a large part of the problem. That proposal has, as part of the dev meeting discussion, a proposal from @matz to allow methods to use `&nil` to explicitly declare that they don't accept a block. At the time, the proposal was trying to solve a bigger problem, so this sub-proposal was never considered seriously. However, notes in the proposal say: > It is explicit, but it is tough to add this `&nil` parameter declaration to all of methods (do you want to add it to `def []=(i, e, &nil)`?). (I agree `&nil` is valuable on some situations) This proposal extracts that sub-proposal to make this a new language feature. ## Proposal In Ruby, it is always valid for the caller to pass a block to a method call, even if the callee is not expecting a block to be passed. This leads to subtle user errors, where the author of some code assumes a method call uses a block, but the block passed to the method call is silently ignored. The proposal is to introduce `&nil` at method declaration sites to mean "This method does not accept a block". This is symmetric to the ability to pass `&nil` at call sites to mean "I am not passing a block to this method call", which is sometimes useful when making `super` calls (since blocks are always implicitly passed). Explicitly, the proposal is to make the following behaviour be a part of Ruby: ```ruby def find(item = nil, &nil) # some implementation that doesn't call `yield` or `block_given?` end find { |i| i == 42 } # => ArgumentError: passing block to the method `find' that does not accept a block. ``` ## Implementation I assume the implementation would be a grammar change to make `&nil` valid at method declaration sites, as well as raising an `ArgumentError` for methods that are called with a block but are declared with `&nil`. ## Evaluation Since I don't have an implementation, I can't make a proper evaluation of the feature proposal. However, I would expect the language changes to be minimal with no runtime costs for methods that don't use the `&nil` syntax. ## Discussion This proposal has much smaller scope than #15554 so that the Ruby language can start giving library authors the ability to explicitly mark their methods as not accepting a block. This is fully backward compatible, since it is an opt-in behaviour and not an opt-out one. Future directions after this feature proposal could be a way to signal to the VM that any method in a file that doesn't explicitly use `yield`/`block_given?` or explicitly declared a block parameter should be treated as not accepting a block. This can be done via some kind of pragma similar to `frozen_string_literal`, or through other means. However, such future directions are beyond the scope of this proposal. ## Summary Adding the ability for methods to declare that they don't accept a block will make writing code against such methods safer and more resilient, and will prevent silently ignored behaviour that is often hard to catch or troubleshoot. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:118784] [Ruby master Feature#20664] Add `before` and `until` options to Enumerator.produce

Issue #20664 has been reported by knu (Akinori MUSHA). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20664: Add `before` and `until` options to Enumerator.produce https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20664 * Author: knu (Akinori MUSHA) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- Enumerator.produce provides a nice way to generate an infinite sequence but is a bit awkward to define how to end a sequence. It lacks a simple and easy way to produce typical finite sequences in an intuitive syntax. This proposal attempts to solve the problem by adding these two options to the method: - `before`: when provided, it is used as a predicate to determine if an iteration should end before a generated value gets yielded. - `until`: when provided, it is used as a predicate to determine if an iteration should end until after a generated value gets yielded. Any value that responds to `to_proc` and returns a `Proc` object is accepted in these options. A typical use case for the `before` option is traversing a tree structure to iterate over the ancestors or following/preceding siblings of a node. The `until` option can be used when there is a clear definition of the "last" value to yield. ```ruby enum = Enumerator.produce(File, before: :nil?, &:superclass) enum.to_a #=> [File, IO, Object, BasicObject] enum = Enumerator.produce(3, until: :zero?, &:pred) enum_to_a #=> [3, 2, 1, 0] ``` ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Add-before-and-until-options-to-Enumerator.produce.patch (10.7 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116028] [Ruby master Feature#20152] mkmf / extconf: Add a proper way to not compile the extension
by byroot (Jean Boussier) 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

Issue #20152 has been reported by byroot (Jean Boussier). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20152: mkmf / extconf: Add a proper way to not compile the extension https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20152 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- ### Context There are various gems that ship with a native extension as a way to speedup part of the gem, but also ship with a pure Ruby version of these methods as a fallback. So they only want to compile the extension if the platform supports it, and if not, just fallback to the slightly slower Ruby version. Right now users rely on one of two hacks to do this. Either they create an empty Makefile, but then still depend on `make` being available, or publish platform specific packages without any extension in them. Examples: - [`bootsnap` skip compilation if not on MRI or TruffleRuby](https://github.com/Shopify/bootsnap/blob/070151f1305f23102365d… - [`erb` has an extension for MRI but then need to publish a `java` version of the gem that doesn't actually contain Java code, just to skip compilation on JRuby](https://github.com/ruby/erb/issues/52) - [`hiredis-client` skips the compilation for Windows and non-MRI rubies](https://github.com/redis-rb/redis-client/blob/1ab081c1d0e47df5d55e0… ### Feature It would be very useful to have some proper first class API to skip compiling the extension. Something like: ```ruby require "mkmf" if RUBY_ENGINE != "ruby" || RUBY_PLATFORM.match?(/mswin/) skip_compilation else # ... end ``` cc @k0kubun @headius -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

If I rescue the `StopIteration` exception from `peek` and call `next` afterwards: (or vice-versa) ```ruby # enum.rb # 1 # 2 enum = [].each # 3 enum.peek rescue nil # 4 enum.next # 5 ``` it will show the stacktrace from the rescued `peek` call: ``` $ ruby enum.rb enum.rb:4:in `peek': iteration reached an end (StopIteration) from enum.rb:4:in `<main>' ``` Whereas the error should refer to `next` on line number 5. The same happens when calling `peek` after `next` or when having muliple `peek` / `next` calls: ```ruby # enum.rb # 1 # 2 enum = [].each # 3 enum.peek rescue nil # 4 enum.next rescue nil # 5 enum.peek rescue nil # 6 puts "line #{__LINE__}" # 7 enum.next # 8 ``` The stacktrace from the first (rescued) `peek` or `next` call will be shown which doesn't reflect the actual error location: ``` $ ruby enum.rb line 7 enum.rb:4:in `peek': iteration reached an end (StopIteration) from enum.rb:4:in `<main>' ``` This is very confusing when debugging code. ---Files-------------------------------- 01-Recreate-stacktrace-enumerator.patch (1.29 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112045] [Ruby master Bug#19378] Windows: Use less syscalls for faster require of big gems
by aidog (Andi Idogawa) 12 Jan '26

Issue #19378 has been reported by aidog (Andi Idogawa). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19378: Windows: Use less syscalls for faster require of big gems https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19378 * Author: aidog (Andi Idogawa) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.2.0 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hello 🙂 ## Problem require is slow on windows for big gems. (example: require 'gtk3'=> 3 seconds+). This is a problem for people who want to make cross platform GUI apps with ruby. ## Possible Reason As touched on in [#15797](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15797) it seems like require uses realpath, which is emulated on windows. It checks every parent directory. The same syscalls run many times. ## Testfile C:\tmp\speedtest\testrequire.rb: ``` ruby require __dir__ + "/helloworld1.rb" require __dir__ + "/helloworld2.rb" ``` ``` shell ruby --disable-gems C:\tmp\speedtest\testrequire.rb ``` ### Syscalls per File/Directory: 1. CreateFile 2. QueryInformationVolume 3. QueryIdInformation 4. QueryAllInformationFile 5. QueryNameInformationFile 6. QueryNameInformationFile 7. QueryNormalizedNameInformationFile 8. CloseFile ### Files/Directories checked 1. C:\tmp 2. C:\tmp\speedtest 3. C:\tmp\speedtest\helloworld1.rb 4. C:\tmp 5. C:\tmp\speedtest 6. C:\tmp\speedtest\helloworld2.rb For two required files Ruby had to do 8*6 = **48** syscalls. The syscalls orginate from rb_w32_reparse_symlink_p / lstat Rubygems live in subfolders with 9+ parts: "C:\Ruby32-x64\lib\ruby\gems\3.2.0\gems\glib2-4.0.8\lib\glib2\variant.rb" Each file takes 8 * 9 = **72**+ calls. For variant.rb it is **80** calls. The result for the syscalls don't change in such a short time, so it should be possible to cache it. With require_relative it's twice as many calls. ## Other testcases Same result: ``` ruby File.realpath __dir__ + "/helloworld1.rb" File.realpath __dir__ + "/helloworld2.rb" ``` ``` ruby File.stat __dir__ + "/helloworld1.rb" File.stat __dir__ + "/helloworld2.rb" ``` It does not happen in $LOAD_PATH.resolve_feature_path(__dir__ + "/helloworld1.rb") ## Request Would it be possible to cache the stat calls when using require? I tried to implement a cache inside the ruby source code, but failed. If not, is there now a way to combine ruby files into one? I previously talked about require here: [YJIT: Windows support lacking.](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19325#note-11) ## How to reproduce Ruby versions: At least 3.0+, most likely older ones too. Tested using Ruby Installer 3.1 and 3.2. [Procmon Software by Sysinternals](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/proc… -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:120488] [Ruby master Feature#21005] Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details
by bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann) 30 Dec '25

Issue #21005 has been reported by bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann). ---------------------------------------- Feature #21005: Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21005 * Author: bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- ## Why 👋 Hello. After discussing with Kevin Newton and Benoit Daloze in [Feature 20999](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20999), I'd like to propose adding line start/stop and column start/stop information to the `#source_location` method for the following objects: - [Binding](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Binding.html) - [Proc](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Proc.html) - [Method](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Method.html) - [UnboundMethod](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/UnboundMethod.html) At the moment, when using `#source_location`, you only get the following information: ``` ruby def demo = "A demonstration." # From disk. method(:demo).source_location # ["/Users/bkuhlmann/Engineering/Misc/demo", 15] # From memory. method(:demo).source_location # ["(irb)", 3] ``` Notice, when asking for the source location, we only get the path/location as the first element and the line number as the second element but I'd like to obtain a much richer set of data which includes line start/stop and column start/stop so I can avoid leaning on the `RubyVM` for this information. Example: ``` ruby def demo = "A demonstration." # From disk. instructions = RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of method(:demo) puts [instructions.absolute_path, *instructions.to_a.dig(4, :code_location)] [ "/Users/bkuhlmann/Engineering/Misc/demo", # Source path. 15, # Line start. 0, # Column start. 15, # Line stop. 29 # Column stop. ] # From memory. instructions = RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of method(:demo) puts instructions.script_lines [ "def demo = \"A demonstration.\"\n", "" ] ``` By having access to the path (or lack thereof in case of IRB), line start/stop, and column start/stop, this means we could avoid using the RubyVM to obtain raw source code for any of these objects. This would not only enhance debugging situations but also improve Domain Specific Languages that wish to leverage this information for introducing new features and/or new debugging capabilities to the language. ## How Building upon the examples provided above, I'd like to see `Binding`, `Proc`, `Method`, and `UnboundMethod` respond to `#source_location` as follows: ``` ruby [ "/Users/bkuhlmann/Engineering/Misc/demo", # Source path. 15, # Line start. 15, # Line stop. 0, # Column start. 29 # Column stop. ] ``` Notice, for data grouping purposes, I changed the array structure to always start with the path as the first element, followed by line information, and ending with column information. Alternatively, it could might be nice to improve upon the above by answering a hash each time, instead, for a more self-describing data structure. Example: ``` ruby { path: "/Users/bkuhlmann/Engineering/Misc/demo", line_start: 15, line_stop: 15, column_start: 0, column_stop: 29 } ``` For in-memory, situations like IRB, it would be nice to answer the equivalent of `RubyVM::InstructionSequence#script_lines` which would always be an `Array` with no line or column information since only the source code is necessary. Example: ``` ruby [ "def demo = \"A demonstration.\"\n", "" ] ``` From a pattern matching perspective, this could provide the best of both worlds especially if information is answered as either a `Hash` or and `Array`. Example: ``` def demo = "A demonstration." case method(:demo).source_location in Hash then puts "Source information obtained from disk." in Array then puts "Source obtained from memory." else fail TypeError, "Unrecognized source location type." end ``` This above is only a simple example but there's a lot we could do with this information if the above pattern match was enhanced to deal with the extraction and formatting of the actual source code! ## Notes This feature request is related to the following discussions in case more context is of help: - [Feature 6012](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6012) - [Feature 20999](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20999) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:120749] [Ruby master Feature#21084] Declare objects have weak references
by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) 30 Dec '25

30 Dec '25

Issue #21084 has been reported by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu). ---------------------------------------- Feature #21084: Declare objects have weak references https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21084 * Author: peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- # Summary The current way of marking weak references uses `rb_gc_mark_weak(VALUE *ptr)`. This presents challenges because Ruby's GC is incremental, meaning that if the `ptr` changes (e.g. realloc'd or free'd), then we could have an invalid memory access. This also overwrites `*ptr = Qundef` if `*ptr` is dead, which prevents any cleanup to be run (e.g. freeing memory or deleting entries from hash tables). This ticket proposes `rb_gc_declare_weak_references` which declares that an object has weak references and calls a cleanup function after marking, allowing the object to clean up any memory for dead objects. # Introduction In [[Feature #19783]](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19783), I introduced an API allowing objects to mark weak references, the function signature looks like this: ```c void rb_gc_mark_weak(VALUE *ptr); ``` `rb_gc_mark_weak` is called during the marking phase of the GC to specify that the memory at `ptr` holds a pointer to a Ruby object that is weakly referenced. `rb_gc_mark_weak` appends this pointer to a list that is processed after the marking phase of the GC. If the object at `*ptr` is no longer alive, then it overwrites the object reference with a special value (`*ptr = Qundef`). However, this API resulted in two challenges: 1. Ruby's default GC is incremental, which means that the GC is not ran in one phase, but rather split into chunks of work that interleaves with Ruby execution. The `ptr` passed into `rb_gc_mark_weak` could be on the malloc heap, and that memory could be realloc'd or even free'd. We had to use workarounds such as `rb_gc_remove_weak` to ensure that there were no illegal memory accesses. This made `rb_gc_mark_weak` difficult to use, impacted runtime performance, and increased memory usage. 2. When an object dies, `rb_gc_mark_weak` only overwites the reference with `Qundef`. This means that if we want to do any cleanup (e.g. free a piece of memory or delete a hash table entry), we could not do that and had to defer this process elsewhere (e.g. during marking or runtime). # Declarative weak references In this ticket, I'm proposing a new API for weak references. Instead of an object marking its weak references during the marking phase, the object declares that it has weak references using the `rb_gc_declare_weak_references` function. This declaration occurs during runtime (e.g. after the object has been created) rather than during GC. After an object declares that it has weak references, it will have its callback function called after marking as long as that object is alive. This callback function can then call a special function `rb_gc_handle_weak_references_alive_p` to determine whether its references are alive. This will allow the callback function to do whatever it wants on the object, allowing it to perform any cleanup work it needs. This significantly simplifies the code for `ObjectSpace::WeakMap` and `ObjectSpace::WeakKeyMap` because it no longer needs to have the workarounds for the limitations of `rb_gc_mark_weak`. # Performance The performance results below demonstrate that `ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]=` is now about 60% faster because the implementation has been simplified and the number of allocations has been reduced. We can see that there is not a significant impact on the performance of `ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]`. Base: ``` ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]= 4.620M (± 6.4%) i/s (216.44 ns/i) - 23.342M in 5.072149s ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[] 30.967M (± 1.9%) i/s (32.29 ns/i) - 154.998M in 5.007157s ``` Branch: ``` ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]= 7.336M (± 2.8%) i/s (136.31 ns/i) - 36.755M in 5.013983s ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[] 30.902M (± 5.4%) i/s (32.36 ns/i) - 155.901M in 5.064060s ``` Code: ``` require "bundler/inline" gemfile do source "https://rubygems.org" gem "benchmark-ips" end wmap = ObjectSpace::WeakMap.new key = Object.new val = Object.new wmap[key] = val Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report("ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]=") do |times| i = 0 while i < times wmap[Object.new] = Object.new i += 1 end end x.report("ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]") do |times| i = 0 while i < times wmap[key] wmap[val] # does not exist i += 1 end end end ``` # Alternative designs Currently, `rb_gc_declare_weak_references` is designed to be an internal-only API. This allows us to assume the object types that call `rb_gc_declare_weak_references`. In the future, if we want to open up this API to third parties, we may want to change this function to something like: ```c void rb_gc_add_cleaner(VALUE obj, void (*callback)(VALUE obj)); ``` This will allow the third party to implement a custom `callback` that gets called after the marking phase of GC to clean up any dead references. I chose not to implement this design because it is less efficient as we would need to store a mapping from `obj` to `callback`, which requires extra memory. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
