Upon an upgrade to Sequoia, I did Xcode upgrade, and then CommandLine tools download. Then I did "sudo xcode-select --reset" I'm trying ruby-3.3.4 and ruby-3.2.5 -- both have the same result from below.

[ruby-core:118784] [Ruby master Feature#20664] Add `before` and `until` options to Enumerator.produce
by knu (Akinori MUSHA) 28 Aug '24

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:114645] [Ruby master Bug#19865] Segfault when calling user signal handlers during VM shutdown
by ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo) 27 Aug '24

Issue #19865 has been reported by ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19865: Segfault when calling user signal handlers during VM shutdown https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19865 * Author: ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Howdy 👋! I work for Datadog [on the `ddtrace` gem](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-rb) . I've found this issue while investigating a [customer crash report](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-rb/issues/2980). ### Background The original issue was found in a production app. A number of things need to be in play to cause it. The [`ruby-odbc`](https://rubygems.org/gems/ruby-odbc) gem provides a way of accessing databases through the ODBC API. It wraps a database connection as a Data object, with a free function that, prior to freeing the native resources, disconnects from the database if the connection was still active. Because disconnecting from the database is a blocking operation, the gem (reasonably, in my opinion), releases the global VM lock before disconnecting. The trigger for the crash is: 1. The app in question used puma, and puma installs a `Signal.trap('TERM')` 2. The database object was still connected when the app started to shut down 3. A VM shutdown starts... 4. Half-way through shutdown, the VM received a SIGTERM signal, and queued it for processing 5. The VM calls the free function on all objects 6. The ruby-odbc gem sees there's an active database connection, and tries to release the GVL to call the blocking disconnect 7. Before releasing the GVL, the VM checks for pending interruptions 8. The VM tries to run the Ruby-level signal handler method half-way through VM shutdown, when you can no longer run Ruby code 9. Segfault ### How to reproduce (Ruby version & script) I was able to reproduce on a minimal example on Ruby 3.2.2 (`ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux]`) and recent master (`ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-08-17T07:30:01Z master d26b015e83) [x86_64-linux]`). I've put the test-case up on github as well <https://github.com/DataDog/signal-bug-testcase>, but here's the important bits: `signal-bug-testcase.rb`: ```ruby require 'signal_bug_testcase' Signal.trap("TERM") { puts "Hello, world" } FOO = SignalBugTestcase.new ``` `signal_bug_testcase.c`: ```ruby #include <ruby.h> #include <ruby/thread.h> #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h> typedef struct { int dummy; } BugTestcase; void *test_nogvl(void *unused) { fprintf(stderr, "GVL released!\n"); return NULL; } static void bug_testcase_free(void* ptr) { fprintf(stderr, "Free getting called! Sending signal...\n"); kill(getpid(), SIGTERM); fprintf(stderr, "SIGTERM signal queued, trying to release GVL...\n"); rb_thread_call_without_gvl(test_nogvl, NULL, NULL, NULL); fprintf(stderr, "After releasing GVL!\n"); free(ptr); } const rb_data_type_t bug_testcase_data_type = { .wrap_struct_name = "SignalBugTestcase", .function = { NULL, bug_testcase_free, NULL }, .flags = RUBY_TYPED_FREE_IMMEDIATELY }; VALUE bug_testcase_alloc(VALUE klass) { BugTestcase* obj = calloc(1, sizeof(BugTestcase)); return TypedData_Make_Struct(klass, BugTestcase, &bug_testcase_data_type, obj); } void Init_signal_bug_testcase(void) { VALUE cBugTestcase = rb_define_class("SignalBugTestcase", rb_cObject); rb_define_alloc_func(cBugTestcase, bug_testcase_alloc); } ``` ### Expectation and result No segfault happens. Interestingly, on Ruby 2.7, the VM exits half-way through but doesn't always segfault, but running it a few times always triggers the issue. On 3.2+ it crashes every time for me. I suspect the right thing here is to no longer accept/try to run any Ruby-level signal handlers after VM shutdown starts. Here's what I see with this test-case: ``` $ bundle exec ruby lib/signal-bug-testcase.rb Free getting called! Sending signal... SIGTERM signal queued, trying to release GVL... lib/signal-bug-testcase.rb:3: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000007 ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] -- Control frame

[ruby-core:118963] [Ruby master Feature#11273] [PATCH] Make it possible to `load` from a FIFO file
by alanwu (Alan Wu) 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Issue #11273 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu). Status changed from Open to Closed Closing as we carry a test since commit:bc8687acd62584bf2ba9a951289f3f25a4de7229 that exercises this functionality. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11273: [PATCH] Make it possible to `load` from a FIFO file https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11273#change-109535 * Author: cesario (Franck Verrot) * Status: Closed ---------------------------------------- Revision #50887 (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/50887) avoided `load` from blocking the VM when accessing a FIFO file, but loading from a FIFO doesn't work (raises `LoadError`). This patch makes it possible. PS: I wasn't sure it was a bug or a feature so I've set it to bug. Of course, feel free to fix this. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-file.c-load-now-supports-reading-from-a-FIFO-file.patch (3.18 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:118954] [Ruby master Feature#18368] Range#step semantics for non-Numeric ranges
by zverok (Victor Shepelev) 25 Aug '24

25 Aug '24

Issue #18368 has been updated by zverok (Victor Shepelev). Here we go: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/11454 In the absence of further discussion, I went with option (3): String ranges support both “old” and “new” behavior. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18368: Range#step semantics for non-Numeric ranges https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18368#change-109527 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- I am sorry if the question had already been discussed, can't find the relevant topic. "Intuitively", this looks (for me) like a meaningful statement: ```ruby (Time.parse('2021-12-01')..Time.parse('2021-12-24')).step(1.day).to_a # ^^^^^ or just 24*60*60 ``` Unfortunately, it doesn't work with "TypeError (can't iterate from Time)". Initially it looked like a bug for me, but after digging a bit into code/docs, I understood that `Range#step` has an odd semantics of "advance the begin N times with `#succ`, and yield the result", with N being always integer: ```ruby ('a'..'z').step(3).first(5) # => ["a", "d", "g", "j", "m"] ``` The fact that semantic is "odd" is confirmed by the fact that for Float it is redefined to do what I "intuitively" expected: ```ruby (1.0..7.0).step(0.3).first(5) # => [1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.2] ``` (Like with [`Range#===` some time ago](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14575), I believe that to be a strong proof of the wrong generic semantics, if for numbers the semantics needed to be redefined completely.) Another thing to note is that "skip N elements" seem to be rather "generically Enumerable-related" yet it isn't defined on `Enumerable` (because nobody needs this semantics, typically!) Hence, two questions: * Can we redefine generic `Range#step` to new semantics (of using `begin + step` iteratively)? It is hard to imagine the amount of actual usage of the old behavior (with String?.. to what end?) in the wild * If the answer is "no", can we define a new method with new semantics, like, IDK, `Range#over(span)`? **UPD:** More examples of useful behavior (it is NOT only about core `Time` class): ```ruby require 'active_support/all' (1.minute..20.minutes).step(2.minutes).to_a #=> [1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 9 minutes, 11 minutes, 13 minutes, 15 minutes, 17 minutes, 19 minutes] require 'tod' (Tod::TimeOfDay.parse("8am")..Tod::TimeOfDay.parse("10am")).step(30.minutes).to_a #=> [#<Tod::TimeOfDay 08:00:00>, #<Tod::TimeOfDay 08:30:00>, #<Tod::TimeOfDay 09:00:00>, #<Tod::TimeOfDay 09:30:00>, #<Tod::TimeOfDay 10:00:00>] require 'matrix' (Vector[1, 2, 3]..).step(Vector[1, 1, 1]).take(3) #=> [Vector[1, 2, 3], Vector[2, 3, 4], Vector[3, 4, 5]] require 'unitwise' (Unitwise(0, 'km')..Unitwise(1, 'km')).step(Unitwise(100, 'm')).map(&:to_s) #=> ["0 km", "1/10 km", "1/5 km", "3/10 km", "2/5 km", "0.5 km", "3/5 km", "7/10 km", "4/5 km", "9/10 km", "1 km"] ``` **UPD:** Responding to discussion points: **Q:** Matz is concerned that the proposed simple definition will be confusing with the classes where `+` is redefined as concatenation. **A:** I believe that simplicity of semantics and ease of explaining ("it just uses `+` underneath, whatever `+` does, will be performed") will make the confusion minimal. **Q:** Why not introduce new API requirement (like "class of range's `begin` should implement `increment` method, and then it will be used in `step`) **A:** require *every* gem author to change *every* of their objects' behavior. For that, they should be aware of the change, consider it important enough to care, clearly understand the necessary semantics of implementation, have a resource to release a new version... Then all users of all such gems would be required to upgrade. The feature would be DOA (dead-on-arrival). The two alternative ways I am suggesting: change the behavior of `#step` or introduce a new method with desired behavior: 1. Easy to explain and announce 2. Require no other code changes to immediately become useful 3. With something like [backports](https://github.com/marcandre/backports) or [ruby-next](https://github.com/ruby-next/ruby-next) easy to start using even in older Ruby version, making the code more expressive even before it would be possible for some particular app/compny to upgrade to (say) 3.2 All examples of behavior from the code above are real `irb` output with monkey-patched `Range#step`, demonstrating how little change will be needed to code outside of the `Range`. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:118953] [Ruby master Feature#6648] Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby
by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) 25 Aug '24

25 Aug '24

Issue #6648 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). `-C` option arguments are cumulative and can be relative paths. I don't think `ruby -C subdir -e 'exec(*Process.argv)'` would work as expected. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6648: Provide a standard API for retrieving all command-line flags passed to Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6648#change-109526 * Author: headius (Charles Nutter) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Currently there are no standard mechanisms to get the flags passed to the currently running Ruby implementation. The available mechanisms are not ideal: * Scanning globals and hoping they have not been tweaked to new settings * Using external wrappers to launch Ruby * ??? Inability to get the full set of command-line flags, including flags passed to the VM itself (and probably VM-specific) makes it impossible to launch subprocess Ruby instances with the same settings. A real world example of this is "((%bundle exec%))" when called with a command line that sets various flags, a la ((%jruby -Xsome.vm.setting --1.9 -S bundle exec%)). None of these flags can propagate to the subprocess, so odd behaviors result. The only option is to put the flags into an env var (((|JRUBY_OPTS|)) or ((|RUBYOPT|))) but this breaks the flow of calling a simple command line. JRuby provides mechanisms to get all its command line options, but they require calling Java APIs from Ruby's API set. Rubinius provides its own API for accessing comand-line options, but I do not know if it includes VM-level flags as well as standard Ruby flags. I know there is a (({RubyVM})) namespace in the 2.0 line. If that namespace is intended to be general-purpose for VM-level features, it would be a good host for this API. Something like... ``` class << RubyVM def vm_args; end # returns array of command line args *not* passed to the target script def script; end # returns the script being executed...though this overlaps with $0 def script_args; end # returns args passed to the script...though this overlaps with ARGV, but that is perhaps warranted since ARGV can be modified (i.e. you probably want the original args) end ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:118952] [Ruby master Feature#19057] Hide implementation of `rb_io_t`.
by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) 25 Aug '24

Issue #19057 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). OK, unless `FMODE_EXTERNAL` is given `descriptor` will be closed when a new object could not be allocated. I thought about pty extension, and it seems to work at least for pty. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19057: Hide implementation of `rb_io_t`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19057#change-109525 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Target version: 3.4 ---------------------------------------- In order to make improvements to the IO implementation like <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18455>, we need to add new fields to `struct rb_io_t`. By the way, ending types in `_t` is not recommended by POSIX, so I'm also trying to rename the internal implementation to drop `_t` where possible during this conversion. Anyway, we should try to hide the implementation of `struct rb_io`. Ideally, we don't expose any of it, but the problem is backwards compatibility. So, in order to remain backwards compatibility, we should expose some fields of `struct rb_io`, the most commonly used one is `fd` and `mode`, but several others are commonly used. There are many fields which should not be exposed because they are implementation details. ## Current proposal The current proposed change <https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6511> creates two structs: ```c // include/ruby/io.h #ifndef RB_IO_T struct rb_io { int fd; // ... public fields ... }; #else struct rb_io; #endif // internal/io.h #define RB_IO_T struct rb_io { int fd; // ... public fields ... // ... private fields ... }; ``` However, we are not 100% confident this is safe according to the C specification. My experience is not sufficiently wide to say this is safe in practice, but it does look okay to both myself, and @Eregon + @tenderlovemaking have both given some kind of approval. That being said, maybe it's not safe. There are two alternatives: ## Hide all details We can make public `struct rb_io` completely invisible. ```c // include/ruby/io.h #define RB_IO_HIDDEN struct rb_io; int rb_ioptr_descriptor(struct rb_io *ioptr); // accessor for previously visible state. // internal/io.h struct rb_io { // ... all fields ... }; ``` This would only be forwards compatible, and code would need to feature detect like this: ```c #ifdef RB_IO_HIDDEN #define RB_IOPTR_DESCRIPTOR rb_ioptr_descriptor #else #define RB_IOPTR_DESCRIPTOR(ioptr) rb_ioptr_descriptor(ioptr) #endif ``` ## Nested public interface Alternatively, we can nest the public fields into the private struct: ```c // include/ruby/io.h struct rb_io_public { int fd; // ... public fields ... }; // internal/io.h #define RB_IO_T struct rb_io { struct rb_io_public public; // ... private fields ... }; ``` ## Considerations I personally think the "Hide all details" implementation is the best, but it's also the lest compatible. This is also what we are ultimately aiming for, whether we decide to take an intermediate "compatibility step" is up to us. I think "Nested public interface" is messy and introduces more complexity, but it might be slightly better defined than the "Current proposal" which might create undefined behaviour. That being said, all the tests are passing. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19057 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). I found `rb_io_open_descriptor` is a bad design, it can results in FD-leaks, because a file descriptor isn't a Ruby object with finalizer. It should be "allocate then open & set" instead of "open then allocate & initialize". ---------------------------------------- Feature #19057: Hide implementation of `rb_io_t`. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19057#change-109524 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Target version: 3.4 ---------------------------------------- In order to make improvements to the IO implementation like <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18455>, we need to add new fields to `struct rb_io_t`.
