Previously when using a JIT and Ractors at the same time with debug
assertions turned on this could rarely fail with:
vm_core.h:1448: Assertion Failed: VM_ENV_FLAGS:FIXNUM_P(flags)
When using Ractors, any time the VM lock is acquired, that may join a
barrier as another Ractor initiates GC. This could be made to happen
reliably by replacing the invalidation with a call to rb_gc().
This assertion failure happens because
VM_STACK_ENV_WRITE(ep, 0, (VALUE)env);
Is setting VM_ENV_DATA_INDEX_FLAGS to the environment, which is not a
valid set of flags (it should be a fixnum). Although we update cfp->ep,
rb_execution_context_mark will also mark the PREV_EP, and until the
recursive calls to vm_make_env_each all finish the "next" ep may still
be pointing to the stack env we've just escaped.
I'm not completely sure why we need to store this on the stack - why is
setting cfp->ep not enough? I'm also not sure why
rb_execution_context_mark needs to mark the prev_ep.
What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/maintainers_md.html#label-Platform+Maintainers
