[ruby-core:111990] [Ruby master Bug#19371] Having Psych 5 installed raises an error during another gem's C-extension installation when parsing YAML

by tombruijn (Tom de Bruijn)

Issue #19371 has been reported by tombruijn (Tom de Bruijn). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19371: Having Psych 5 installed raises an error during another gem's C-extension installation when parsing YAML https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19371 * Author: tombruijn (Tom de Bruijn) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [aarch64-linux] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ## Summary There's an issue on Ruby versions with Psych 4 installed by default (Ruby 2.6 through 3.1) after installing the Psych gem version 5. This problem occurs when a Ruby gem has a C-extension installation script that parses a YAML string. I'm reporting it here and not with on the Psych gem repo, because it looks more like an issue with which Ruby C-extension is load during other gem's C-extension installation. ## Background I have a gem that parses a YAML string in the C-extension installation script, or it calls `Gem.configuration[:http_proxy]`, which parses the `.gemrc` file as YAML. This triggers the error mentioned below. This YAML parsing is done in the gem's `ext/extconf.rb` file. An example gem can be found in this repository: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem, see the [`ext/extconf.rb` file](https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem/blob/main/ext/extconf.rb#…. ## The problem On Ruby 3.1.3 Psych version 4 is installed by default. When it parses the YAML file, it will use Psych 4. When Psych 5 is also installed on Ruby 3.1.3, it is no longer be able to parse the YAML file. The following error is raised: ``` $ bundle install Fetching https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem.git Resolving dependencies...

In Gemfile: yaml-dummy-gem ``` ## Debugging results The error is raised because the `Psych::Parser#parse` method cannot be found. In Psych version 4, this method is [defined by the Psych C-extension](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/2c3708e0a483c6d44ebddaff0b5…. In Psych version 5 the `parse` method is [defined in the gem's Ruby code](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/1f23e6e7f0ab4a6efab598c1ee528bb52d…. This method calls a [C function registered as the private `_native_parse` method](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/1f23e6e7f0ab4a6efab598c1ee528bb5…, which is the renamed version of the `parse` C-function in Psych version 4. From what I can tell, the Psych version 4 C-extension is no longer loaded when Psych version 5 is installed in this scenario. There is a mix up in which Psych gem version's C-extension is loaded during my dummy gem's C-extension installation. It load the Psych 4 Ruby code, with the Psych 5 C-extension∂. I confirmed this by modifying the standard installed Psych gem's code on Ruby 3.1 (Docker image `ruby:3.1`), with the following the change, which prints `true` on error. This means the Psych 4 gem has the Psych 5 C-extension loaded where `_native_parse` is defined. ```diff diff --git lib/psych.rb lib/psych.rb index 42d79ef..1a690d2 100644 --- lib/psych.rb +++ lib/psych.rb @@ -452,6 +452,9 @@ def self.parser def self.parse_stream yaml, filename: nil, &block if block_given? parser = Psych::Parser.new(Handlers::DocumentStream.new(&block)) + # This returns `true`, but it should be `false`. The `_native_parse` + # method is defined in the Psych 5 C-extension, not Psych 4. + puts parser.respond_to? :_native_parse, true # => true parser.parse yaml, filename ``` This error only occurs during the gem's extension installation in `ext/extconf.rb`. If the gem parses YAML when a Ruby app is running, it will not produce the same error with Psych version 5 installed. This issue does not occur on Ruby 3.2, where Psych version 5 is installed by default. I have confirmed this error occurs on the latest patch releases of the following Ruby versions: 3.1, 3.0, 2.7 and 2.6. ``` $ gem list psych psych (5.0.2, default: 4.0.3) ``` ## Code to reproduce Here is a basic Ruby gem that only parses a YAML file during extension installation: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem Here is a small project that triggers the error: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app A GitHub actions workflow shows the results for all affected Ruby versions: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app/actions/runs/3969088933 The [example app repo](https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app) also has instructions to run the example app locally. Please follow the instructions in the README to see the error. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111780] [Ruby master Bug#19331] --enable-rpath results in incorrect RPATH in Ruby 3.1.3

by Kulikjak (Jakub Kulik)

Issue #19331 has been reported by Kulikjak (Jakub Kulik). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19331: --enable-rpath results in incorrect RPATH in Ruby 3.1.3 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19331 * Author: Kulikjak (Jakub Kulik) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.1.3 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I just updated Ruby from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 and found out that all .so libraries from the enc directory have wrong RPATH/RUNPATH (when building with `--enable-rpath`). I first hit this on Solaris, but my testing on Linux resulted in the same thing. It can be easily reproduced with the following: ``` wget http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.1/ruby-3.1.3.tar.gz tar xzf ruby-3.1.3.tar.gz cd ruby-3.1.3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/ruby/3.1 --mandir=/usr/ruby/3.1/share/man --bindir=/usr/ruby/3.1/bin --sbindir=/usr/ruby/3.1/sbin --libdir=/usr/ruby/3.1/lib/amd64 --with-rubylibprefix=/usr/ruby/3.1/lib/ruby --enable-shared --enable-rpath /usr/bin/make -j 16 -l 32 objdump -x ./.ext/x86_64-linux/enc/windows_31j.so | grep RPATH ``` While previously this resulted in the following output: `RPATH /usr/ruby/3.1/lib/amd64` in 3.1.3 it is wrongly set to the build directory: `RPATH /home/jkulik/rubytest/ruby-3.1.3` I tried looking for some obvious change but didn't find the core of this issue yet. All I found out is that generated `enc.mk` differs in `prefix` and `libdir` ``` -prefix = /usr/ruby/3.1 +prefix = /home/jkulik/rubytest/ruby-3.1.3 exec_prefix = $(prefix) -libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib/amd64 +libdir = /home/jkulik/rubytest/ruby-3.1.3 ``` `rbconfig.rb` is similar in both versions, but when I print out `CONFIG` in `make_encmake.rb` right after `load File.expand_path("lib/mkmf.rb", dir)`, I can see the differences from above, so it's probably something in the `lib/mkmf.rb` file that changes that. I am seeing the same issue in the current latest ruby 3.1 branch cloned from github. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111956] [Ruby master Bug#19363] Fix rb_transient_heap_mark: wrong header (T_STRUCT) segfault

by bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

Issue #19363 has been reported by bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19363: Fix rb_transient_heap_mark: wrong header (T_STRUCT) segfault https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19363 * Author: bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) +YJIT [arm64-darwin22.2.0] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ## Overview Hello. 👋 I'm hitting an issue where my build is constantly failing with a segfault. The following is a snippet taken from my local machine with YJIT enabled (see attachments for details): ``` /Users/bkuhlmann/.cache/frum/versions/3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/puma-6.0.2/lib/puma/runner.rb: [BUG] rb_transient_heap_mark: wrong header, T_STRUCT (0x0000000109ea98a0) ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) +YJIT [arm64-darwin22.2.0] ``` The closest issue I could find that might be related to this issue (but not sure) is this issue: #15358. ## Steps to Recreate You should be able to quickly recreate this issue via these steps: - Download/clone my [Hemo](https://github.com/bkuhlmann/hemo) project. - Run the setup steps. - Run the test suite by running `bin/rspec`. If you need an example of the same segfault (but not on my macOS machine), you can see the same segfault via my [Circle CI Build](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/bkuhlmann/hemo/11/workflow…. My Circle CI build is using my [Docker Alpine Linux Ruby](https://www.alchemists.io/projects/docker-alpine-ruby) image which might be of interest as well. This Docker image is also built with YJIT enabled. Interestingly, is if you were to run the test suite with `bin/guard` instead of `bin/rspec` then the segfault doesn't occur. ## Environment ``` ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) +YJIT [arm64-darwin22.2.0] 1.43.0 (using Parser 3.2.0.0, rubocop-ast 1.24.1, running on ruby 3.2.0) [arm64-darwin22.2.0] - rubocop-performance 1.15.2 - rubocop-rake 0.6.0 - rubocop-rspec 2.18.1 - rubocop-sequel 0.3.4 - rubocop-thread_safety 0.4.4 ``` ---Files-------------------------------- segfault.txt (237 KB) ruby-2023-01-21-113841.ips (19.6 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112445] [Ruby master Bug#19441] Closing an IO#dup behaviour

by stac47 (Laurent Stacul)

Issue #19441 has been reported by stac47 (Laurent Stacul). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19441: Closing an IO#dup behaviour https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19441 * Author: stac47 (Laurent Stacul) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.1 (2023-02-08 revision 31819e82c8) [x86_64-darwin20] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hello amazing ruby folks! I classified that ticket as a "Bug" although it is perhaps something I did not understand. Here is a ruby session: ``` ruby irb(main):001:0> file = Tempfile.new => #<File:/var/folders/m2/bljzrgq160vbf0vk466k_7gw0000gn/T/20230216-39664-davfmj> irb(main):002:0> file.fileno => 9 irb(main):003:0> dup = file.dup => #<File:/var/folders/m2/bljzrgq160vbf0vk466k_7gw0000gn/T/20230216-39664-davfmj> irb(main):004:0> dup.fileno => 10 irb(main):005:0> dup.close => nil irb(main):006:0> dup.closed? => false irb(main):007:0> file.closed? => true ``` The two last lines are unexpected to me. I would have expected the converse: ```ruby irb(main):006:0> dup.closed? => true irb(main):007:0> file.closed? => false ``` I tried this scenario in latest ruby but also in ruby 2.7. Thanks in advance for helping me to understand this behaviour. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112218] [Ruby master Bug#19414] uninitialized constant URI::WSS in 3.0.X and 3.1.X

by noraj (Alexandre ZANNI)

Issue #19414 has been reported by noraj (Alexandre ZANNI). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19414: uninitialized constant URI::WSS in 3.0.X and 3.1.X https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19414 * Author: noraj (Alexandre ZANNI) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.1.3 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I have a library called [ctf-party](https://github.com/noraj/ctf-party), [making use of URI:WSS](https://github.com/noraj/ctf-party/blob/ef3b82cc1668325b782246a9bb…, and it's making my [CI pipeline fails](https://github.com/noraj/ctf-party/actions/runs/4059895670). I'm able to reproduce it locally (`bundle exec rake test`), working with ruby 3.2.0 and not with 3.1.3. The error is: ``` irb(main):001:0> require 'uri' => true irb(main):002:0> URI::WS => URI::WS irb(main):003:0> URI::WSS (irb):3:in `<main>': uninitialized constant URI::WSS (NameError) from /home/noraj/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/irb-1.4.1/exe/irb:11:in `<top (required)>' from /home/noraj/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/bin/irb:25:in `load' from /home/noraj/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/bin/irb:25:in `<main>' ``` I don't understand why is that happening since [it exists in the official documentation](https://ruby-doc.org/3.1.3/stdlibs/uri/URI/WSS.html) and the [code looks ok to me on tag 3.1.3](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_1_3/lib/uri/wss.rb) which is [strictly identical to the code on tag 3.2.0](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_2_0/lib/uri/wss.rb). It works if I require the file explicitly: ``` irb(main):004:0> require 'uri/wss' => true irb(main):005:0> URI::WSS => URI::WSS ``` The issue come from the fact that [in 3.2.0 `'uri/wss'` is required](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_2_0/lib/uri.rb#L104) but [not in 3.1.3](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_1_3/lib/uri.rb#L103). In [3.0.5](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_0_5/lib/uri.rb) it is even worse as neither ws and wss are required. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:112223] [Ruby master Bug#19417] Regexp \p{Word} and [[:word:]] do not match Unicode Other_Number character

by ObjectBoxPC (Philip Chung)

Issue #19417 has been reported by ObjectBoxPC (Philip Chung). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19417: Regexp \p{Word} and [[:word:]] do not match Unicode Other_Number character https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19417 * Author: ObjectBoxPC (Philip Chung) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.2.0 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- According to the [documentation for Regexp](https://ruby-doc.org/3.2.0/Regexp.html), `\p{Word}` and `[[:word:]]` both match a character in one of the following Unicode general categories: Letter, Mark, Number, Connector_Punctuation. However, neither matches U+00B2, which is in the Other_Number category (which is a subcategory of Number). ``` ruby puts "Ruby version: %s" % RUBY_VERSION puts "\p{Word} matches? %s" % /\p{Word}/u.match?("\u00B2") puts "[[:word:]] matches? %s" % /[[:word:]]/u.match?("\u00B2") puts "Is a Number charater? %s" % /\p{Number}/u.match?("\u00B2") puts "Is an Other_Number character? %s" % /\p{Other_Number}/u.match?("\u00B2") ``` Expected output: ``` Ruby version: 3.2.0 p{Word} matches? true [[:word:]] matches? true Is a Number charater? true Is an Other_Number character? true ``` Actual output: ``` Ruby version: 3.2.0 p{Word} matches? false [[:word:]] matches? false Is a Number charater? true Is an Other_Number character? true ``` I notice that the [upstream Onigmo library doc](https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo/blob/master/doc/RE) defines the `[[:word:]]` class as "Letter | Mark | Decimal_Number | Connector_Punctuation", meaning that it only matches certain number characters (which would exclude U+00B2). I am not sure how `\p{Word}` is defined though. But perhaps the documentation needs to be changed? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
