[ruby-core:70209] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11393] segfault on trivial application, embedding in C app.

Issue #11393 has been updated by Alex Budovski.


Thanks!

That didn't AV.

I guess I misunderstood what rb_load_file meant. I couldn't find a definitive reference, and there are no comments in the code.

It seems like rb_require is the correct thing to use to run a script.

I tried making the change (this time to a real file):

~~~
#include <ruby.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

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

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	int state;
	ruby_setup();
	rb_protect(load_file, (VALUE)"E:\\src\\rb\\a.rb", &state);
	ruby_cleanup(0);
	if (state) {
		fprintf(stderr, "load failed\n");
		return EXIT_FAILURE;
	}
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
~~~

And now it AVs in cleanup:

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`.
