Status changed from Closed to Assigned Assignee changed from akr (Akira Tanaka) to nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga) ---------------------------------------- Bug #9247: Bugs in socket.rb (exception retrieval) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9247#change-43859 Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga) Category: lib Target version: current: 2.1.0 ruby -v: ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-12-13 trunk 44170) [i386-mswin32_110] Backport: 1.9.3: REQUIRED, 2.0.0: REQUIRED Ruby 2.1 (trunk) 2.0 and 1.9.3 both has a bug to retrieve exception. In the following code, opened socket is always closed. require 'socket' ai = Addrinfo.tcp(nil, 12345) begin raise rescue p ai.listen #=> # end This is because in socket.rb, there are such error handling code: # creates a listening socket bound to self. def listen(backlog=Socket::SOMAXCONN) sock = Socket.new(self.pfamily, self.socktype, self.protocol) begin sock.ipv6only! if self.ipv6? sock.setsockopt(:SOCKET, :REUSEADDR, 1) sock.bind(self) sock.listen(backlog) if block_given? yield sock else sock end ensure ### THIS LINE CLOSE `sock' every time when $! is not nil sock.close if !sock.closed? && (block_given? || $!) end end There are similar code in socket.rb. akr-san already knows this issue. This ticket is to note issues. We realize this issue because webrick use this feature from 2.1. The following code no longer works on 2.1. begin require 'xyzzy' # something like webrick rescue LoadError require 'webrick' server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(Port: 12345) end Because $! is an instance of LoadError. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
