[ruby-core:103812] [Ruby master Bug#17860] Segmentation fault when trying to grab blocks of memory using Fiddle

Issue #17860 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

`Object#object_id` now returns an incrementing integer, it no longer is related to a place in memory.  So you are referencing probably uninitialized memory, which should result in a segmentation fault.

Reproduce process

**ruby version:** ruby 3.1.0dev (2021-04-09T04:59:46Z master 582f4bc188) [x86_64-darwin20]


Install ruby with:

```
$ git clone [e-mail]:ruby/ruby.git
$ cd ruby
$ autoconf
$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/local
$ make
$ make install 
```

create a test.rb file with:

```
require 'fiddle'
str = "Hello world!"
str_ptr_int = str.object_id << 1

str_ptr = Fiddle::Pointer.new str_ptr_int
str_ptr.to_i == str_ptr_int

r_basic = str_ptr[0, Fiddle::SIZEOF_LONG*2]
```

Inside compiled `ruby` directly run: 

`$  ./local/bin/ruby test.rb`
