[ruby-core:105394] [Ruby master Bug#18189] `rb_cString` can be NULL during `Init_Object`

Issue #18189 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


With adding the following lines after `Init_class_hierarchy()` in `InitVM_Object`, it seems working.
```C
    VALUE rb_mImmutable = rb_define_module("Immutable");
    VALUE rb_mImmutableObject = rb_define_module_under(rb_mImmutable, "Object");
```
```shell
$ ./ruby -e 'class X; include Immutable::Object; end; p X.new'
#<X:0x0000000108e7c300>
```

----------------------------------------
Bug #18189: `rb_cString` can be NULL during `Init_Object`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18189#change-93807

* Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
It's possible for `rb_cString` to be NULL during `Init_Object` and thus `Init_class_hierarchy` which means that `rb_fstring_lit`, which invokes `setup_fake_str`, invokes `RBASIC_SET_CLASS_RAW(..., NULL)` (or possibly just something totally random if it's not zero initialized!).

Later on in `register_fstring` we have an assertion which also fails to detect the abnormality:

```
assert(RBASIC_CLASS(args.fstr) == rb_cString);
```

Because both are NULL. Oops.

It seems that later on, `rb_cString` is set on that specific fstring. But in my own usage of `rb_define_module_under` during `InitVM_Object`, this creates invalid class names which fail when passed into Ruby land.
