Issue #21567 has been reported by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21567: Crash when $LOADED_FEATURES is modified during require https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21567 * Author: peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: WONTFIX, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- When we require an object that is not a string, it will attempt to convert it to a string by calling to_str on it. If we modify the $LOADED_FEATURES array while it calls to_str, Ruby can crash because it can end up inserting the string in the wrong index in the array. For example, the following script crashes: ```ruby require "tempfile" class MyString def initialize(path) @path = path end def to_str $LOADED_FEATURES.clear @path end def to_path = @path end def create_ruby_file = Tempfile.create(["test", ".rb"]).path require MyString.new(create_ruby_file) $LOADED_FEATURES.unshift(create_ruby_file) $LOADED_FEATURES << MyString.new(create_ruby_file) require create_ruby_file ``` Crash log: ``` test.rb:21: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000004 ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-09-09T09:29:35Z master ce94add7fb) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24] -- Crash Report log information -------------------------------------------- See Crash Report log file in one of the following locations: * ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports * /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports for more details.

[ruby-core:122972] [Ruby Bug#21546] `prefix` in ruby.pc is wrong when `--enable-load-relative`

Issue #21546 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21546: `prefix` in ruby.pc is wrong when `--enable-load-relative` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21546 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- It is relocatable and should reflect the installed location. ```console $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH} $ pkg-config --variable=prefix ruby-3.5 /. ``` Currently `pkg-config --define-prefix` works because it overrides the `prefix` value. ```console $ pkg-config --variable=prefix --define-prefix ruby-3.5 /opt/local ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:122501] [Ruby Bug#21402] ruby2_keywords affects methods/procs with post arguments
by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) 14 Sep '25

Issue #21402 has been reported by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21402: ruby2_keywords affects methods/procs with post arguments https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21402 * Author: jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- I believe this is an oversight. We forgot to consider post arguments during the development of `ruby2_keywords`. I believe we should not allow `ruby2_keywords` on methods/procs with post arguments. Example: ```ruby def a(*c, **kw) [c, kw] end def b(*a, b) a(*a, b) end ruby2_keywords(:b) b({foo: 1}, bar: 1) # Currently: [[{foo: 1}], {bar: 1}] # Expected: [[{foo: 1}, {bar: 1}], {}] ``` I think the current behavior is unexpected and undesired, because instead of flagging the last element in the splat array, it flags a post argument. I've submitted a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/13475 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:123122] [Ruby Feature#21556] Add true? and false? methods to NilClass, TrueClass, FalseClass, and String
by Phalado (Raphael Cordeiro) 14 Sep '25

Issue #21556 has been reported by Phalado (Raphael Cordeiro). ---------------------------------------- Feature #21556: Add true? and false? methods to NilClass, TrueClass, FalseClass, and String https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21556 * Author: Phalado (Raphael Cordeiro) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- Sometimes we need to check for an exact `true` or `false` value. This can be a string or a boolean value. Usually, what I do to solve this is something like `value.to_s == true`, this way covering for strings, booleans, and nil values. The idea of these new methods is to check for the exact value, being it a String, a Boolean, or even a Nil value. This is the result obtained: ``` ruby # String 'true'.true? # true 'false'.true? # false ''.true? # false 'true'.false? # false 'false'.false? # true ''.false? # false # Boolean true.true? # true true.false? # false false.true? # false false.false? # true # Nil nil.true? # false nil.false? # false ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:122899] [Ruby Bug#21528] SyntaxError#message may have broken encoding with multibyte source under Prism
by alpaca-tc (Hiroyuki Ishii) 13 Sep '25

Issue #21528 has been reported by alpaca-tc (Hiroyuki Ishii). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21528: SyntaxError#message may have broken encoding with multibyte source under Prism https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21528 * Author: alpaca-tc (Hiroyuki Ishii) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Since the introduction of Prism, when parsing Ruby source code that contains multibyte characters, SyntaxError#message can sometimes have invalid encoding. Here is a reproducible example: ``` begin RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile(<<~CODE, nil, nil, 1) if a # 0000000000000ああああああ # CODE rescue SyntaxError => e $e = e puts e.message # string contains a multibyte character that is cut off mid-byte. \xE3 # <compiled>:3: syntax errors found # 1 | if a # > 2 | # 0000000000000あああああ\xE3 ... # | ^ expected an `end` to close the conditional clause # > 3 | # # | ^ unexpected end-of-input, assuming it is closing the parent top level context puts e.message.valid_encoding? #=> expected true, but got false end ``` This appears to be caused by a truncation process in prism's error message generating that does not consider multibyte character boundaries. See: The truncation logic around [prism_compile.c L10696-L10709](https://github.com/ruby/ruby//blob/30a20bc166bc37acd7dcb3788… I'm not sure how to correctly fix it due to lack of knowledge about safe byte truncation. I discovered this issue through irb, which attempts to display source code even when it contains syntax errors. Because irb uses `SyntaxError#message`, it raised an `ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8`. See: https://github.com/ruby/irb/blob/f60dfa8549f746f69e9a6d160604a7a4974ffac1/l… If this is considered an irb issue, I already have a patch for IRB that handles it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:120073] [Ruby master Feature#20925] Allow boolean operators at beginning of line to continue previous line
by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme) 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Issue #20925 has been reported by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20925: Allow boolean operators at beginning of line to continue previous line https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20925 * Author: Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I would like for this to become accepted syntax: condition1 || condition2 condition1 && condition2 condition1 or condition2 condition1 and condition2 This is similar to how method chaining on the second line was added in Ruby 1.9 expr .method And it has the same advantage: when you have a multi-line expression, instead of hunting for the dot or boolean operator at the end of line1, it's right there at the beginning of line2, making the structure very obvious and readable. Please contrast: request.secret_key_base.present? && request.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt.present? && request.encrypted_cookie_salt.present? && request.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption request.secret_key_base.present? && request.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt.present? && request.encrypted_cookie_salt.present? && request.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption The first expression must rely on indentation to communicate the multi-line nature of the condition, and even then it's not as immediately obvious as the second expression, where we can see easily and immediately that this is a multi-line `&&` condition. This syntax is also similar to how a trailing comma is allowed in arrays and hashes (and method calls since Ruby 1.9), with the same advantage. It makes for a cleaner diff when you add an element to the array/hash/conditional. Taking the previous example, imagine we are adding the condition `&& request.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption`. Now contrast the diff between the two styles: request.secret_key_base.present? && request.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt.present? && - request.encrypted_cookie_salt.present? + request.encrypted_cookie_salt.present? && + request.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption request.secret_key_base.present? && request.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt.present? && request.encrypted_cookie_salt.present? + && request.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption Based on the above I would say this syntax is natural and consistent with existing Ruby syntactical elements, and would greatly improve code readability. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:123224] [Ruby Bug#21571] Ruby sporadically hanging on exit
by dmorner (Daniel Orner) 11 Sep '25

Issue #21571 has been reported by dmorner (Daniel Orner). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21571: Ruby sporadically hanging on exit https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21571 * Author: dmorner (Daniel Orner) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.5 (2025-07-16 revision 20cda200d3) +YJIT +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This is my first bug report, so please let me know if there's anything I can do to improve it. We have a production-grade Rails app that's been running for many years. We recently moved to EKS and upgraded it to the latest Ruby and Rails. We have a number of delayed_job processes that fork on every job that comes in so that the OS can reclaim the memory used in executing it (we implemented this a long time ago because Ruby never gives up any memory that it takes, and some jobs use way more memory than others). In the last couple of weeks, we've noticed a rare occurrence where the delayed job hangs when exiting. The code looks like this: <pre> Process.fork do ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection execute_job end Process.wait </pre> The forked child process doesn't exit when this bug occurs, it's just stuck forever, doing nothing. Obviously I don't have a way to reproduce this because it happens maybe once every few thousand jobs, and it happens across all job types. If I run gdb on the child process, I always see something that looks like this (note: I am a total gdb newbie): <pre> #0 __futex_abstimed_wait_common (futex_word=futex_word@entry=0x7fb6af41400c, expected=expected@entry=3, clockid=clockid@entry=0, abstime=abstime@entry=0x0, private=<optimized out>, cancel=cancel@entry=false) at ./nptl/futex-internal.c:103 #1 0x00007fb6d5677f68 in __GI___futex_abstimed_wait64 (futex_word=futex_word@entry=0x7fb6af41400c, expected=expected@entry=3, clockid=clockid@entry=0, abstime=abstime@entry=0x0, private=<optimized out>) at ./nptl/futex-internal.c:128 #2 0x00007fb6d568138c in __pthread_rwlock_wrlock_full64 (abstime=0x0, clockid=0, rwlock=0x7fb6af414000) at ./nptl/pthread_rwlock_common.c:730 #3 ___pthread_rwlock_wrlock (rwlock=0x7fb6af414000) at ./nptl/pthread_rwlock_wrlock.c:26 #4 0x00007fb6aee22989 in CRYPTO_THREAD_write_lock () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 #5 0x00007fb6aee15c6a in () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 #6 0x00007fb6aee15fa9 in OPENSSL_thread_stop () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 #7 0x00007fb6aee153b5 in OPENSSL_cleanup () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 #8 0x00007fb6d563055d in __run_exit_handlers (status=0, listp=0x7fb6d57c5820 <__exit_funcs>, run_list_atexit=run_list_atexit@entry=true, run_dtors=run_dtors@entry=true) at ./stdlib/exit.c:116 #9 0x00007fb6d563069a in __GI_exit (status=<optimized out>) at ./stdlib/exit.c:146 #10 0x00007fb6d5ad3a80 in ruby_stop (ex=<optimized out>) at eval.c:290 #11 0x00007fb6d5bc47b4 in rb_f_fork (obj=<optimized out>) at process.c:4388 #12 rb_f_fork (obj=<optimized out>) at process.c:4378 #13 0x00007fb6d5cad5cc in vm_call_cfunc_with_frame_ (stack_bottom=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, argc=0, calling=<optimized out>, reg_cfp=0x7fb6d4f68280, ec=0x7fb6d4e4d550) at /usr/src/ruby/vm_insnhelper.c:3794 #14 vm_call_cfunc_with_frame (ec=0x7fb6d4e4d550, reg_cfp=0x7fb6d4f68280, calling=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/ruby/vm_insnhelper.c:3840 #15 0x00007fb6d5cb3fef in vm_sendish (ec=0x7fb6d4e4d550, reg_cfp=0x7fb6d4f68280, cd=0x7fb69fb17650, block_handler=<optimized out>, method_explorer=mexp_search_method) at /usr/src/ruby/vm_callinfo.h:415 #16 0x00007fb6d5cc1e59 in vm_exec_core (ec=0x7fb6af41400c, ec@entry=0x7fb6d4e4d550) at /usr/src/ruby/insns.def:851 #17 0x00007fb6d5cc7ba9 in rb_vm_exec (ec=0x7fb6d4e4d550) at vm.c:2595 #18 0x00007fb6b13e73b9 in () #19 0x00007fb6d4f68328 in () ...etc, I can paste more if needed </pre> I can't seem to get `call rb_backtrace()` working in gdb, it never prints anything. This seems to indicate that there's some kind of thread lock when OpenSSL is shutting down. The crazy thing is that **there is only one thread** for most of the processes I inspect.
