[ruby-core:123190] [Ruby Bug#18487] Kernel#binding behaves differently depending on implementation language of items on the stack
by ttilberg (Tim Tilberg) 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Issue #18487 has been updated by ttilberg (Tim Tilberg). I'm upgrading a project from Ruby 3.0 to Ruby 3.4, and I think I came across an unexpected bug related to this related to using `binding` from a `SimpleDelegator` child. Can someone help me confirm and organize? Example reproduction script: ``` ruby require 'erb' require 'delegate' class Report < SimpleDelegator def title "Great report" end def to_s ERB.new("<%= title %>!").result(binding) end end puts Report.new(Object.new).to_s ``` ``` ▶ ruby --version && ruby example.rb ruby 3.0.6p216 (2023-03-30 revision 23a532679b) [arm64-darwin22] Great report! ▶ ruby --version && ruby example.rb ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [arm64-darwin22] Great report! ▶ ruby --version && ruby example.rb ruby 3.2.4 (2024-04-23 revision af471c0e01) +YJIT [arm64-darwin23] /Users/ttilberg/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.2.4/lib/ruby/3.2.0/delegate.rb:89:in `binding': Cannot create Binding object for non-Ruby caller (RuntimeError) from /Users/ttilberg/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.2.4/lib/ruby/3.2.0/delegate.rb:89:in `bind_call' from /Users/ttilberg/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.2.4/lib/ruby/3.2.0/delegate.rb:89:in `method_missing' from example.rb:10:in `to_s' from example.rb:14:in `<main>' ``` And it continues the same into future versions. I arrived here by way of Zevrok's ruby references notes. https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/3.2.html#kernelbinding-raises-… -- it seemed like the most reasonable suspect. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18487: Kernel#binding behaves differently depending on implementation language of items on the stack https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18487#change-114520 * Author: alanwu (Alan Wu) * Status: Closed * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.0p0 (2021-12-25 revision fb4df44d16) * Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Recently I [discovered] that one could use `Kernel#binding` to capture the environment of a frame that is not directly below the stack frame for `Kernel#binding`. I've known that C extensions have this [privilege] for a while, but didn't realize that it was also possible using only the core library. This is a powerful primitive that allows for some funky programs: ```ruby def lookup(hash, key) hash[key] hash end p lookup( Hash.new(&( Kernel.instance_method(:send).method(:bind_call).to_proc >> ->(binding) { binding.local_variable_set(:hash, :action_at_a_distance!) } ) ), :binding ) # => :action_at_a_distance! ``` There might be ways to compose core library procs such that it's less contrived and more useful, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. Maybe there is a way to make a "local variable set" proc that takes only a name-value pair and no block? ### What's the big deal? This behavior makes the implementation language of methods part of the API surface for `Kernel#binding`. In other words, merely changing a Ruby method to be a C method can be a breaking change for the purposes of `Kernel#binding`, even if the method behaves the same in all other observable ways. I feel that whether a method is native or not should be an implementation detail and should not impact `Kernel#binding`. This is a problem for Ruby implementations that want to implement many core methods in Ruby, because they risk breaking compatibility with CRuby. TruffleRuby has this [problem][privilege] as I alluded to earlier, and CRuby risks making unintentional breaking changes as more methods change to become Ruby methods in the core library. ### Leaking less details I think a straight forward way to fix this issue is by making it so that `Kernel#binding` only ever looks at the stack frame directly below it. If the frame below is a not a Ruby frame, it can return an empty binding. I haven't done the leg work of figuring out how hard this would be to implement in CRuby, though. This new behavior allows observing the identity of native frames, which is new. ### Does the more restrictive behavior help YJIT? Maybe. It's hard to tell without building out more optimizations that are related to local variables. YJIT currently doesn't do much in that area. If I had to guess I wouuld say the more restrictive semantics at least open up the possibility of some deoptimization strategies that are more memory efficient. ### What do you think? This is not a huge issue, but it might be nice to start thinking about for the next release. If a lot of people actually rely on the current behavior we can provide a migration plan. Since it might take years to land, I would like to solicit feedback now.

[ruby-core:123180] [Ruby Bug#21563] Misleading error message when `to_proc` does not return a Proc in an Object used as a &block argument

Issue #21563 has been reported by soulcutter (Bradley Schaefer). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21563: Misleading error message when `to_proc` does not return a Proc in an Object used as a &block argument https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21563 * Author: soulcutter (Bradley Schaefer) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.5 (2025-07-16 revision 20cda200d3) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- When a class implements `#to_proc` it should always return a Proc. Nonetheless bugs are possible, and when an implementation returns something else, and is used as a block argument to a method, you get an error that claims that the argument type is the implementing class rather than the type that was returned from `to_proc`. Reproduction ``` class SayHi def call = "hi" def to_proc = "obviously not a proc" end def callablock(&block) = block.call callablock &SayHi.new # wrong argument type SayHi (expected Proc) (TypeError) ``` In real-world code it may not be _this_ obvious that `to_proc` is returning the wrong type, and so I would expect the error would report the type of object returned by `to_proc` so that you have a more-direct path to understanding the misbehavior. In this case I would expect: wrong argument type String (expected Proc) Or maybe something more-descriptive as an error message, but I don't have a concrete suggestion for that. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:123176] [Ruby Bug#21562] IO#each_codepoint raises using with IO#ungetc

Issue #21562 has been reported by YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21562: IO#each_codepoint raises using with IO#ungetc https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21562 * Author: YO4 (Yoshinao Muramatsu) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.4 (2025-05-14 revision a38531fd3f) +PRISM [x64-mingw-ucrt] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Using IO#each_codepoint together with IO#ungetc causes ```byte oriented read for character buffered IO (IOError)``` when encoding conversion is active. ``` C:\>ruby -e "open('NUL', 'rt') { _1.ungetc('aa'); _1.each_codepoint { |c| p c }}" 97 -e:1:in 'IO#each_codepoint': byte oriented read for character buffered IO (IOError) from -e:1:in 'block in <main>' from -e:1:in 'Kernel#open' from -e:1:in '<main>' ``` note: 'rt' enables newline conversion for input, and it uses the encoding conversion mechanism. When encoding conversion is not used, similar operations complete successfully. ``` C:\>ruby -e "open('NUL', 'rb') { _1.ungetc('aa'); _1.each_codepoint { |c| p c }}" 97 97 ``` Since both IO#each_codepoint and IO#ungetc handle characters, I believe IO#each_codepoint should work on both cases. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:123164] [Ruby Feature#17398] SyntaxError in endless method
by Earlopain (Earlopain _) 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

Issue #17398 has been updated by Earlopain (Earlopain _). It is easy for prism to accept this as well: https://github.com/ruby/prism/pull/3632 I checked the above examples and prism seems to interpret them in the same way. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17398: SyntaxError in endless method https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17398#change-114503 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: prism ---------------------------------------- This works: ```ruby def foo() = puts("bar") ``` This does not: ```ruby def foo() = puts "bar" # ^ syntax error, unexpected string literal, expecting `do' or '{' or '(' ``` Is this intentional or accidental? Not sure how it is reasoned. ---Files-------------------------------- allow-command-style-endless-method-def.patch (3.44 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
