Issue #21702 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). The length is exactly what is returned by winsock. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21702: `UNIXSocket` on Windows: suprising results in `#recvfrom` and `#remote_address` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21702#change-116060 * Author: trinistr (Alexander Bulancov) * Status: Open * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Support for `UNIXSocket` on Windows was added in #19135. Through testing in ruby/spec, I identified unexpected results in two methods: 1. `#remote_address.to_s` always returns 110 bytes, compared to `#local_address.to_s` which returns only needed bytes. Example: ```ruby # test (@addr is remote_address, @b is the socket created with UNIXServer#accept): @addr.to_s.should == @b.local_address.to_s # failure: "\x01\x00D:/a/spec/spec/rubyspec_temp/2032_3/unix.sock\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" == "\x01\x00D:/a/spec/spec/rubyspec_temp/2032_3/unix.sock\x00" ``` Note how the address is correct, and `#unix_path`s are indeed equal, but there are NUL bytes filling the string representation up to 110 bytes. This number does not depend on the length of path name. This is probably related to `#pack_sockaddr_un`. 2. Much more worryingly, `UNIXSocket#recvfrom` **dumps 2047 bytes of memory** as the remote address: ```ruby # test: @server.recvfrom(5).should == ['hello', ['AF_UNIX', '']] # failure: ["hello",["AF_UNIX","\x14\xB3v\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xAB\xCD\x12C\xFF\x7F<snip>"]] == ["hello", ["AF_UNIX", ""]] ``` This seems to be a result of `union_sockaddr` having a `char place_holder[2048]` member inside, though it isn't clear why is this used instead of `sockaddr_un` member. These results are obtained from GitHub runners, as I don't have a machine to test directly. This is the PR in ruby/spec which brought this up: https://github.com/ruby/spec/pull/1300. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
