Issue #20660 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier). * [Feature #20594] A new String method to append bytes while preserving encoding (byroot) * Continuation from previous meeting * Alan proposed the method to be named `append_as_bytes`, to be variadic and accept both String and Integer (so like the original proposal). * For integer the behavior would be the same as `setbyte`, so mask `0x80`. * Early [implementation prototype show a ~13% gain on our benchmark](https://github.com/Shopify/protoboeuf/pull/116#issuecomment-2309750217). * [Feature #20684] Add optimized instructions for frozen literal Hash and Array (byroot) * Allow to avoid having to define `EMPTY_HASH = {}.freeze` or `EMPTY_ARRAY.freeze` constant in hotspots (see code samples in the issue). * Also give some minor gains when defining frozen constants. * Not a big optimization, but a very small patch and help usability. ---------------------------------------- Misc #20660: DevMeeting-2024-09-05 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20660#change-109533 * Author: mame (Yusuke Endoh) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- # The next dev meeting **Date: 2024/09/05 13:00-17:00** (JST) Log: *TBD* - Dev meeting *IS NOT* a decision-making place. All decisions should be done at the bug tracker. - Dev meeting is a place we can ask Matz, nobu, nurse and other developers directly. - Matz is a very busy person. Take this opportunity to ask him. If you can not attend, other attendees can ask instead of you (if attendees can understand your issue). - We will write a record of the discussion in the file or to each ticket in English. - All activities are best-effort (keep in mind that most of us are volunteer developers). - The date, time and place of the meeting are scheduled according to when/where we can reserve Matz's time. - *DO NOT* discuss then on this ticket, please. # Call for agenda items If you have a ticket that you want matz and committers to discuss, please post it into this ticket in the following format: ``` * [Ticket ref] Ticket title (your name) * Comment (A summary of the ticket, why you put this ticket here, what point should be discussed, etc.) ``` Example: ``` * [Feature #14609] `Kernel#p` without args shows the receiver (ko1) * I feel this feature is very useful and some people say :+1: so let discuss this feature. ``` - It is recommended to add a comment by 2024/09/02. We hold a preparatory meeting to create an agenda a few days before the dev-meeting. - The format is strict. We'll use [this script to automatically create an markdown-style agenda](https://gist.github.com/mame/b0390509ce1491b43610b9ebb665eb86). We may ignore a comment that does not follow the format. - Your comment is mandatory. We cannot read all discussion of the ticket in a limited time. We appreciate it if you could write a short summary and update from a previous discussion. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
