Issue #19981 has been reported by jaruga (Jun Aruga). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19981: bootstraptest/test_ractor.rb: Segmentation fault on arm32 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19981 * Author: jaruga (Jun Aruga) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I faced the following segmentation fault on Ubuntu jammy arm32 (emulated environment by `SETARCH='setarch linux32 --verbose --32bit'`) in both Travis CI arm64 [log](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/ruby/ruby/jobs/612418476#L2422 ) and RubyCI arm64-neoverse server. I tested it on the latest ruby master branch `14fa5e39d72c84d3e12e10dc5d77a6e6200c10f5`. I was able to reproduce this issue on RubyCI arm64-neoverse server, and prepared the reproducing script. So, you can try to debug on the server. It seems that the `-O3` flag triggered the issue. Because I didn't see the issue when Travis CI setting `- optflags=-O1` in `.travis.yml` on the current master branch. https://github.com/junaruga/report-ruby-ractor-segmentation-fault ``` + arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0 + setarch linux32 --verbose --32bit make -s test Switching on ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.

[ruby-core:120601] [Ruby master Bug#21024] Ruby including <cstdbool> generates compilation warning with GCC 15, header is deprecated in C++17,
by jprokop (Jarek Prokop) 02 Jul '25

02 Jul '25

Issue #21024 has been reported by jprokop (Jarek Prokop). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21024: Ruby including <cstdbool> generates compilation warning with GCC 15, header is deprecated in C++17, https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21024 * Author: jprokop (Jarek Prokop) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.1 (2024-12-25 revision 48d4efcb85) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- C++ compiler in GCC 15 now generates a warning when trying to include `<cstdbool>`. This file is being included when compiling with C++ compiler from `include/ruby/internal/stdbool.h`. In C++, true, false and bool are keywords so including headers for boolean definitions should not be necessary. Alternatively, just including <stdbool.h> should be sufficient as that is what the `#include <cstdbool>` results in with GCC. Simplest fix is just deleting the lines that are including the file (see attached patch and comments 2 and 3 from downstream issue linked in the bottom section "Additional info"). Considering the wide array of compilers Ruby aims to support to be compiled with I wanted to make an issue here first to make sure there isn't a supported compiler that wouldn't agree with this approach. Reproduction: Obtain GCC 15, for Fedora Rawhide there is currently a repo of maintainer, I use it in Fedora Rawhide container (podman is replaceable for docker here): ``` host$ podman run -it --rm registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:rawhide bash container# echo "[gcc_15] name=pre-release GCC 15 Repo baseurl=https://fedorapeople.org/~dmalcolm/gcc/gcc-15-mass-prebuild/$basear… type=rpm-md skip_if_unavailable=True gpgcheck=0 repo_gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 enabled_metadata=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/gcc_15.repo container# dnf install --assumeyes g++ ruby-devel ``` ^ should install `g++-15.0.0` and `ruby.h` needed for the reproducer. Note: that baseurl is a custom space of a Fedora maintainer. Have a file named for example `main.cpp`: ``` cpp #include <ruby.h> int main(void) { return 0; } ``` Compile with GCC 15 ``` $ g++ main.cpp ``` Current behavior: Compiling throws warning: ``` $ g++ main.cpp In file included from /usr/include/ruby/internal/stdbool.h:30, from /usr/include/ruby/backward/2/bool.h:22, from /usr/include/ruby/defines.h:74, from /usr/include/ruby/ruby.h:25, from /usr/include/ruby.h:38, from reproducer.cpp:1: /usr/include/c++/15/cstdbool:48:6: warning: #warning "<cstdbool> is deprecated in C++17, remove the #include" [-Wcpp] 48 | # warning "<cstdbool> is deprecated in C++17, remove the #include" | ^~~~~~~ ``` Expected: Compilation throws no warnings and compiles the executable: ``` $ g++ reproducer.cpp $ echo $? 0 ``` Additional info: ``` $ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 15.0.0 20241203 (Red Hat 15.0.0-0) Copyright (C) 2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ``` This was met during recompilation of libdnf5 that includes `-Werror` in their compilation flags, See downstream discussion: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2336567 Considering the inclusion of the <cstdbool> throws me up to 5 years ago back ( https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/9e6e39c3512f7a962c44dc3729c98a0f8be90341/… ), I assume this warning will be the case with older rubies as well as newest master when using GCC 15. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Stop-including-cstdbool-in-include-ruby-internal-std.patch (869 Bytes) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #21365 has been reported by tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson). ---------------------------------------- Feature #21365: Add `Namespace#eval` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21365 * Author: tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I would like a way to eval code on to a `Namespace` object. Could we add an eval method that _doesn't_ take a binding object? Writing a new file every time I want to test Namespaces is too cumbersome. Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20968 has been reported by koic (Koichi ITO). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20968: `Array#fetch_values` unexpected method name in stack trace https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20968 * Author: koic (Koichi ITO) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-12-19T04:44:56Z master 2783868de2) +PRISM [x86_64-darwin23] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- It seems that the current Ruby implementation is displaying unexpected method name in stack trace. ## Expected Similar to `Hash#fetch_values`, the method name `Array#fetch_values` is expected to be displayed in the stack trace. ```console $ ruby -e '{k: 42}.fetch_values(:unknown)' -e:1:in 'Hash#fetch_values': key not found: :unknown (KeyError) from -e:1:in '<main>' $ ruby -e '[1].fetch_values(42)' -e:1:in 'Array#fetch_values': index 42 outside of array bounds: -1...1 (IndexError) from -e:1:in '<main>' ``` ## Actual The stack trace displays the `Array#fetch` method, which user is not aware of, along with the `<internal.array>` stack trace. ```console $ ruby -e '[1].fetch_values(42)' <internal:array>:211:in 'Array#fetch': index 42 outside of array bounds: -1...1 (IndexError) from <internal:array>:211:in 'block in Array#fetch_values' from <internal:array>:211:in 'Array#map!' from <internal:array>:211:in 'Array#fetch_values' from -e:1:in '<main>' ``` It likely requires an approach such as implementing it in C, as suggested in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/11555. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:119041] [Ruby master Bug#20714] Handle optional dependencies in `bundled_gems.rb`

Issue #20714 has been reported by Earlopain (A S). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20714: Handle optional dependencies in `bundled_gems.rb` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20714 * Author: Earlopain (A S) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.3.5 * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I've encountered a few places around bundled gems where the library doesn't care if the gem is available, but will still provide some functionallity if it is. The way to accomplish that right now seems to be by setting `$VERBOSE = nil` and resetting it later again to not bother the user with the warning about the gem. However, this has the effect of silencing the warning about other gems as well, that may not be prepared about the bundling. From `ruby/reline` for example: https://github.com/ruby/reline/blob/c90f08f7e308d2f1cdd7cfaf9939fe45ce546fd… Or the `logging` gem: https://github.com/TwP/logging/blob/df41715364f7eb8c65098cd3c3316677ef1f378… I propose to simply delay the warning to the next require.

[ruby-core:121498] [Ruby Bug#21210] IO::Buffer gets invalidated on GC compaction

Issue #21210 has been reported by hanazuki (Kasumi Hanazuki). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21210: IO::Buffer gets invalidated on GC compaction https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21210 * Author: hanazuki (Kasumi Hanazuki) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-04-01T16:11:01Z master 30e5e7c005) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- commit:6012145299cfa4ab561360c78710c7f2941a7e9d implemented compaction for `IO::Buffer`. It looks like this doesn't work well with an `IO::Buffer` that shares memory region with a String object. I think the problem is that an `IO::Buffer` holds the raw pointer to the String content, and now the content can be moved by GC when the String is embedded. ```ruby str = +"hello" buf = IO::Buffer.for(str) p buf.valid? GC.verify_compaction_references(expand_heap: true, toward: :empty) p buf.valid? #=> should be true ``` This example should print two trues. Actually: ``` % ./ruby -v --disable-gems test.rb ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-04-01T16:11:01Z master 30e5e7c005) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] true false ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20998 has been reported by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20998: rb_str_locktmp() changes flags of frozen strings and string literals https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20998 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.1 (2024-12-25 revision 48d4efcb85) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ```ruby # frozen_string_literal: true # BOILERPLATE START require 'tmpdir' require 'rbconfig' def inline_c_extension(c_code) Dir.mktmpdir('inline_c_extension') do |dir| File.write("#{dir}/cext.c", c_code) File.write("#{dir}/extconf.rb", <<~RUBY) require 'mkmf' create_makefile('cext') RUBY out = IO.popen([RbConfig.ruby, 'extconf.rb'], chdir: dir, &:read) raise "ruby extconf.rb failed: #{$?.inspect}\n#{out}" unless $?.success? out = IO.popen(['make'], chdir: dir, &:read) raise "make failed: #{$?.inspect}\n#{out}" unless $?.success? require "#{dir}/cext.#{RbConfig::CONFIG['DLEXT']}" end end inline_c_extension <<~C #include "ruby.h" static VALUE foo(VALUE self, VALUE str) { rb_str_locktmp(str); return str; } void Init_cext(void) { VALUE c = rb_define_class("Foo", rb_cObject); rb_define_singleton_method(c, "foo", foo, 1); } C # BOILERPLATE END a = "str" # imagine a million line of codes in between b = "str" Foo.foo(a) b << "." # can't modify string; temporarily locked (RuntimeError) # What? Who "locked" that immutable frozen string literal? # It should be: can't modify frozen String: "str" (FrozenError) ``` Same problem with: ```ruby Foo.foo("abc") # imagine a million line of codes in between Foo.foo("abc") # emporal locking already locked string (RuntimeError) ``` Related: https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/issues/3752 It seems a clear bug to mutate a frozen string (with visible side effects), even more so for shared frozen string literals. I think rb_str_locktmp() should raise (a FrozenError, as it's effectively attempting to mutate it, same as calling `rb_str_modify()`) if called on a frozen string, because it makes little sense, I think "locking a string" only makes sense for mutable strings. The alternative would be to noop on frozen strings for rb_str_locktmp() and rb_str_unlocktmp(), I think that's susprising, and potentially hiding more bugs, e.g. if one by mistake tries to mutate the RSTRING_PTR() or so. Any attempt to mutate a frozen string should fail, so might as well fail early. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #20452 has been reported by Earlopain (A S). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20452: Ruby 3.3 on Alpine Linux results in a relatively shallow SystemStackError exception https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20452 * Author: Earlopain (A S) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 3.3.1 * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This is a redo of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387, reported against a non-eol version. The same issue still applies on recent rubies, though I personally only have tested 3.3 and 3.2: ```rb n = 100000 res = {} 1.upto(n).to_a.inject(res) do |r, i| r[i] = {} end def f(x) x.each_value { |v| f(v) } end f(res) ``` The patch from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387#note-13 still works, though as per https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387#note-16 it can't be accepted as is. With the patch applied: ``` (irb):8:in `block in f': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) from (irb):8:in `each_value' from (irb):8:in `f' from (irb):8:in `block in f' from (irb):8:in `each_value' from (irb):8:in `f' from (irb):8:in `block in f' from (irb):8:in `each_value' from (irb):8:in `f' ... 11549 levels... from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/irb-1.11.0/exe/irb:9:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `load' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `<main>' ``` Without the patch: ``` (irb):8:in `each_value': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) from (irb):8:in `f' from (irb):8:in `block in f' from (irb):8:in `each_value' from (irb):8:in `f' from (irb):8:in `block in f' from (irb):8:in `each_value' from (irb):8:in `f' from (irb):8:in `block in f' ... 286 levels... from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/irb-1.11.0/exe/irb:9:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `load' from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `<main>' ``` To reproduce, I have removed lines 102-105 from https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/blob/f5753434bb23041dd9913bb7b650e7b….
