[ruby-core:26286] [Bug #2258] Kernel#require inside rb_require() inside rb_protect() inside SysV context fails

Issue #2258 has been updated by Suraj Kurapati.


Hi,

The segfault mentioned in my previous message no longer occurs
with the newer Ruby @ SVN r25457 plus my SET_STACK_END patch.

The ruby-ucontext-full.tgz example now runs to completion
without a segfault.  However, an IO exception is raised 
during the call to Kernel.require('date') as follows:

Ruby: require 'hello' begin
~~~~> Hello World!  The time is 2009-10-24 18:52:00 -0700.
~~~~> Doing relay from /home/sun/lab/ruby-ucontext/hello.rb:3
Relay: ruby => main
Relay: main <= ruby
Relay: main => ruby
Relay: ruby <= main
~~~~> OMG, back from main!! :-)
rb_require('./hello.rb') failed with status=6
... because an exception was raised:
#<IOError: closed stream>
/home/sun/lab/ruby-ucontext/hello.rb:7:in `require'
/home/sun/lab/ruby-ucontext/hello.rb:7:in `<top (required)>'
Ruby: require 'hello' end

The corresponding GDB backtrace for this exception shows
really strange file names (which seem to be source lines
from a previously read file --- the standard "date.rb"):

Is this another case of memory corruption?  Or perhaps this is
a side-effect of setjmp/longjmp being used for exception handling?

Thanks for your consideration.
