[ruby-core:70208] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11393] [Third Party's Issue] segfault on trivial application, embedding in C app.

Issue #11393 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Description updated
Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue

In short; use `rb_protect()`.

Ruby interpreter can't deal with exceptions raised outside its scope.
So you **must do it by yourself** instead.

~~~c
#include <ruby.h>

static VALUE
load_file(VALUE name)
{
    return (VALUE)rb_load_file((const char *)name);
}

int
main(void)
{
    int state;
    ruby_setup();
    rb_protect(load_file, (VALUE)"abc", &state);
    ruby_cleanup(0);
    if (state) {
        fprintf(stderr, "load failed\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
~~~

I'm not sure what you want to do with `rb_load_file`, though.
It just parses a script but evaluates nothing.

Tried using both stable 2.2.2 and git master
f965866f4f0a00c8179a1097e89fb4e61f71a92a

Win Server 2012 R2, VS 2013 Update 4. x64.

The AV was due to the following sequence of events, all revolving
around `rb_ensure`.

1. `PUSH_TAG();` creates a local `_tag` on the stack, and sets `th->tag` to
   its address.
2. `EXEC_TAG();` calls `setjmp` on this `_tag` object
3. result = (*b_proc) (data1); fails with LoadError (calls
   `load_file_internal` with a nonexistent file, intentionally), setting
   state to 6.
4. `POP_TAG();` resets `th->tag` to NULL.
5.  

    ~~~c
    if (state)
    	JUMP_TAG(state);
    ~~~

    executes, looks up the current thread, and tries to jump to

    ~~~c
        ruby_longjmp(th->tag->buf, 1);
    ~~~

    but `th->tag` is `NULL`, due to (4) above! So we AV when trying to get `th->tag->buf`.
