Subject: [ruby-core:107395] [Ruby master Bug#18560] "Compaction isn't available on this platform" error running PG test suite on ppc64le

Issue #18560 has been updated by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu).


I think this is expected. `GC.compact`, `GC.auto_compact=`, `GC.verify_compaction_references` will raise `NotImplementedError` when compaction is not supported on the platform.

`GC.respond_to?(:compact)` is just to check that the method `GC.compact` exists (this method was added in Ruby 2.7).

----------------------------------------
Trying to execute test suite of `pg` gem on ppc64le, I observe a following error:

~~~
... snip ...

  1) GC.compact should compact PG::TypeMapByClass #328
     Failure/Error: GC.verify_compaction_references(toward: :empty, double_heap: true)
     NotImplementedError:
       Compaction isn't available on this platform
     # <internal:gc>:257:in `verify_compaction_references'
     # ./spec/pg/gc_compact_spec.rb:58:in `block (2 levels) i

... snip ...
~~~

This is surprising, given that the test suite seems to do reasonable effort to guard this behavior [1]:

~~~
... snip ...

describe "GC.compact", if: GC.respond_to?(:compact) do

... snip ...
~~~

Is this expected or bug?
