Issue #19326 has been reported by sdwolfz (Codruț Gușoi). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19326: Please add a better API for passing a Proc to a Ractor https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19326 * Author: sdwolfz (Codruț Gușoi) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Example 1: ```ruby class Worker def initialize(&block) @block = block end def run Ractor.new(@block, &:call) end end worker = Worker.new { 1 } puts worker.run.take ``` Errors with: ``` <internal:ractor>:271:in `new': allocator undefined for Proc (TypeError) from scripts/run.rb:9:in `run' from scripts/run.rb:14:in `<main>' ``` Example 2: ```ruby class Worker def initialize(&block) @block = Ractor.make_shareable(block) end def run Ractor.new(@block, &:call) end end worker = Worker.new { 1 } puts worker.run.take ``` Errors with: ``` <internal:ractor>:820:in `make_shareable': Proc's self is not shareable: #<Proc:0x00007f00394c38b8 scripts/run.rb:13> (Ractor::IsolationError) from scripts/run.rb:5:in `initialize' from scripts/run.rb:13:in `new' from scripts/run.rb:13:in `<main>' ``` Example 3: ```ruby class Worker def initialize(&block) @block = Ractor.make_shareable(block) end def run Ractor.new(@block, &:call) end end worker = Ractor.current.instance_eval { Worker.new { 1 } } puts worker.run.take ``` Works, but having `Ractor.current.instance_eval` as a wrapper around the block is not ideal, as Ractor is supposed to be only an implementation detail in Worker. I know about https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18243 and the discussion around `proc.bind(nil)`. That would actually be ideal, as for the purposes if why I want this functionality I don't care what `self` is in a block, and the less it has access to the better. The general idea is to have a Ractor be able to lazily execute an arbitrary proc. And all the bindings it would need would be passed explicitly, either through `args` in the constructor or through `send`/`receive`, so `self` would really not matter. The benefit: this would make it so concurrent code can be more easily be implemented with Ractors as currently you can execute an arbitrary proc by passing it to a Thread (but you don't get the nice data isolation). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111789] [Ruby master Feature#19333] Setting (Fiber Local|Thread Local|Fiber Storage) to nil should delete value in order to avoid memory leaks.

Issue #19333 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19333: Setting (Fiber Local|Thread Local|Fiber Storage) to nil should delete value in order to avoid memory leaks. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19333 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- As it stands, Fiber Locals, Thread Locals and Fiber Storage have no way of deleting key-value associations. ```ruby 100.times do |i| name = :"variable-#{i}" Thread.current[name] = 10 end ``` Because of this, dynamically generated associations can leak over time. This is worse for things like Threads that might be pooled (or maybe an argument against user-space pooling). In any case, having a way to delete those associations would allow application code to at least delete the associations when they no longer make sense. I propose that assigning `nil` to "locals" or "storage" should effectively delete them. e.g. ```ruby 100.times do |i| name = :"variable-#{i}" Thread.current[name] = 10 Thread.current[name] = nil # delete association end ``` A more invasive alternative would be to define new interfaces like `Thread::Local`, `Fiber::Local` and `Fiber::Storage::Local` (or something) which correctly clean up on GC. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

This is important also to understand autoloading within ractors, since constant references may trigger `require` calls. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

Issue #19338 has been reported by luke-gru (Luke Gruber). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19338: Ruby hangs when defining new constant in ractor https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19338 * Author: luke-gru (Luke Gruber) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This code causes Ruby to hang: ``` ruby rs = [] 2.times do rs << Ractor.new do MYCONSTANT = 2 end end rs.each(&:take) ``` There is a problem when the warning is being outputted with multiple ractors. A thread is calling RB_VM_LOCK() while holding the VM lock in ractor.c (ractor_check_blocking()) If the code is changed to RB_VM_LOCK_ENTER() and RB_VM_LOCK_LEAVE() then it fixes it, but I don't know if there's a better way.

[ruby-core:111121] [Ruby master Bug#19165] Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow

Issue #19165 has been reported by matsuda (Akira Matsuda). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19165: Method (with no param) delegation with *, **, and ... is slow https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19165 * Author: matsuda (Akira Matsuda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-12-01T08:05:41Z master 4e68b59431) +YJIT [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I found that method delegation via Forwardable is much slower than normal method call when delegating a method that does not take parameters. Here's a benchmark that explains what I mean. ``` require 'forwardable' require 'pp' require 'benchmark/ips' class Obj extend Forwardable attr_accessor :other def initialize @other = Other.new end def foo_without_splat @other.foo end def foo_with_splat(*) @other.foo(*) end def foo_with_splat_with_name(*args) @other.foo(*args) end def foo_with_splat_and_double_splat(*, **) @other.foo(*, **) end def foo_with_triple_dots(...) @other.foo(...) end delegate :foo => :@other end class Other def foo() end end o = Obj.new Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report 'simple call' do o.other.foo end x.report 'delegate without splat' do o.foo_without_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat' do o.foo_with_splat end x.report 'delegate with splat with name' do o.foo_with_splat_with_name end x.report 'delegate with splat and double splat' do o.foo_with_splat_and_double_splat end x.report 'delegate with triple dots' do o.foo_with_triple_dots end x.report 'delegate via forwardable' do o.foo end end (result) simple call 38.918M (± 0.9%) i/s - 194.884M delegate without splat 31.933M (± 1.6%) i/s - 159.611M delegate with splat 10.269M (± 1.6%) i/s - 51.631M delegate with splat with name 9.888M (± 1.0%) i/s - 49.588M delegate with splat and double splat 4.117M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.696M delegate with triple dots 4.169M (± 0.9%) i/s - 20.857M delegate via forwardable 9.204M (± 2.1%) i/s - 46.295M ``` It shows that Method delegation with a splat is 3-4 times slower (regardless of whether the parameter is named or not), and delegation with a triple-dot literal is 9-10 times slower than a method delegation without an argument. This may be because calling a method taking a splat always assigns an Array object even when no actual argument was given, and calling a method taking triple-dots assigns five Array objects and two Hash objects (this is equivalent to `*, **`). Are there any chance reducing these object assignments and making them faster? My concern is that the Rails framework heavily uses this kind of method delegations, and presumably it causes unignorable performance overhead. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
