Yes, we can keep the behavior consistent. I would rather keep the behavior consistent, but some TracePoint tests were expecting the frame so I tried to maintain backwards compatibility. I sent a PR to make the behavior consistent [here](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/13232). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21298: `ObjectSpace.allocation_class_path` returns inconsistent results depending on `TracePoint` state https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21298#change-112860 * Author: mame (Yusuke Endoh) * Status: Open * Assignee: tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson) * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- `ObjectSpace.allocation_class_path` is an API that returns the class of `self` in the context where an object was allocated. However, due to recent optimizations in `Class#new` (#21254), the return value now changes depending on whether `TracePoint` is enabled. ```ruby require "objspace" class Foo def test obj = Object.new ObjectSpace.allocation_class_path(obj) end end ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations_start p Foo.new.test #=> 3.4.2: "Class", master: "Foo" ``` Previously, this returned `"Class"` (from the `Class#new` call frame), but in the master branch, the result is now `"Foo"` because that frame is gone. I am ok for the incompatibility itself because I find the new behavior more intuitive and useful. However, there's an inconsistency: the optimization is disabled when `TracePoint` is enabled, causing the result to revert to the old behavior. ```ruby p Foo.new.test #=> master: "Foo" TracePoint.new {}.enable do p Foo.new.test #=> master: "Class", expected: "Foo" end ``` This makes behavior dependent on whether `TracePoint` is enabled, which can lead to confusion. @ko1 @tenderlovemaking Can we make `ObjectSpace.allocation_class_path` consistently return the class from the `.new` call context, regardless of the `TracePoint` state? --- I am facing a failure of the following test when code coverage (which uses `TracePoint`) is enabled: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/e8ad728209ee22136e61054fea74096b49088b8a/t... As a short-term workaround, I'm considering commenting out this test. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
