[ruby-core:57106] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8538] c method not pushed into the callstack when called, but popped when returned

Issue #8538 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr鱈guez).


=begin
Hi, I've been investigating this issue and I was misunderstanding it. The order of events is

    1. Trigger C_CALL_EVENT
    2. Push frame into the stack
    3. Pop frame from the stack
    4. Trigger C_RETURN_EVENT

That's why I thought `initialize` was never pushed into the stack. It is, of course, but it is popped before the TracePoint API can see it.

The issue can be closed. Thanks!

Bug #8538: c method not pushed into the callstack when called, but popped when returned

Author: deivid (David Rodr鱈guez)

Target version: current: 2.1.0
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14) [i686-linux]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


See the following example:

    trace = TracePoint.new do |tp|
      puts "Event: #{tp.event}, Method: #{tp.method_id}\n"
      puts "Stack: #{caller}\n\n"
    end

    trace.enable

    fail "bang!"

The output shows:

    Event: c_return, Method: enable
    Stack: ["trace.rb:6:in `<main>'"]

    Event: line, Method: 
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_call, Method: fail
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_call, Method: new
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `fail'", "trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_call, Method: initialize
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `new'", "trace.rb:8:in `fail'", "trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_return, Method: initialize
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `new'", "trace.rb:8:in `fail'", "trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_return, Method: new
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `fail'", "trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_call, Method: backtrace
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_return, Method: backtrace
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: raise, Method: 
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    Event: c_return, Method: fail
    Stack: ["trace.rb:8:in `<main>'"]

    trace.rb:8:in `<main>': bang! (RuntimeError)

It looks like the method "initialize" is not pushed into the stack when called, but something (the previous method call) is popped when returning from it.

Thanks a lot.
