Subject: [ruby-core:119876] [Ruby master Bug#20452] Ruby 3.3 on Alpine Linux results in a relatively shallow SystemStackError exception

Issue #20452 has been updated by Earlopain (A S).


It would be nice if this could make it for 3.4. Would that be possible, or are you not yet confident in the patch? 3.5-dev would be fine too, just wondering.

----------------------------------------
Bug #20452: Ruby 3.3 on Alpine Linux results in a relatively shallow SystemStackError exception
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20452#change-110567

* Author: Earlopain (A S)
* Status: Feedback
* ruby -v: 3.3.1
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
This is a redo of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387, reported against a non-eol version. The same issue still applies on recent rubies, though I personally only have tested 3.3 and 3.2:

```rb
n = 100000
res = {}
1.upto(n).to_a.inject(res) do |r, i|
  r[i] = {}
end

def f(x)
  x.each_value { |v| f(v) }
end

f(res)
```

The patch from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387#note-13 still works, though as per https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14387#note-16 it can't be accepted as is.

With the patch applied:
```
(irb):8:in `block in f': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
        from (irb):8:in `each_value'
        from (irb):8:in `f'

        from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `load'
        from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `<main>'
```

Without the patch:

```

        from (irb):8:in `f'
        from (irb):8:in `block in f'

        from (irb):8:in `f'
        from (irb):8:in `block in f'
        from (irb):8:in `each_value'
        from (irb):8:in `f'
        from (irb):8:in `block in f'
         ... 286 levels...

        from /usr/local/bin/irb:25:in `<main>'
```

To reproduce, I have removed lines 102-105 from https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/blob/f5753434bb23041dd9913bb7b650e7be735e03c0/3.3/alpine3.19/Dockerfile. Check out the previous ticket for more information, there are a few conversations about possible solutions.
