Issue #18886 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada). Please merge it.
I don't think this will affect performance unless TracePoint is used, because the same method caching is done in both cases.
Showing benchmarking result will help IMO to confirm there is no penalty. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18886: Struct aref and aset don't trigger any tracepoints. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18886#change-105557 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Given the following program, `thing.name` and `thing.shape` don't trigger `c_call` trace points (or any trace points actually). ```ruby pp RUBY_VERSION trace_point = TracePoint.new(:line, :call, :c_call, :a_call) do |trace| puts trace.event if trace.event == :call # Ruby doesn't always mark call-sites in sub-expressions, so we use this approach to compute a call site and mark it: if location = caller_locations(2, 1).first and path = location.path puts "> #{path}:#{location.lineno}:#{trace.event}" end end if path = trace.path puts "= #{path}:#{trace.lineno}:#{trace.event}" end end trace_point.enable # This will trigger call trace points class Thing def name :cat end def shape :square end end thing = Thing.new # Thing = Struct.new(:name, :shape) # thing = Thing.new(:cat, :rectangle) [ name: thing.name, shape: thing.shape, ] ``` ## Current HEAD ``` = ../test.rb:30:line: = ../test.rb:30:c_call:new = ../test.rb:30:c_call:inherited = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:const_added = ../test.rb:31:line: = ../test.rb:31:c_call:new = ../test.rb:31:c_call:initialize = ../test.rb:34:line: ``` ## Proposed PR ``` = ../test.rb:30:line: = ../test.rb:30:c_call:new = ../test.rb:30:c_call:inherited = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:singleton_method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:method_added = ../test.rb:30:c_call:const_added = ../test.rb:31:line: = ../test.rb:31:c_call:new = ../test.rb:31:c_call:initialize = ../test.rb:34:line: = ../test.rb:34:c_call:name = ../test.rb:35:c_call:shape ``` The reason is the internal implementation of struct doesn't have trace point instrumentation in `vm_call_opt_struct_aset` or `vm_call_opt_struct_aref`. Proposed fix: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6071 but this would need a review, maybe @jeremyevans0 and @ko1 can help. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
