[ruby-core:80182] [Ruby trunk Bug#13223] `File.join` will segv if File::SEPARATOR and File::Separator are set.

Issue #13223 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).


I'd personally like to vote for ignoring redefinitions of constants. In general redefinitions prevent optimizations.  That doesn't make me happy.

Bug #13223: `File.join` will segv if File::SEPARATOR and File::Separator are set.

* Backport: 2.2: DONTNEED, 2.3: DONTNEED, 2.4: DONTNEED
----------------------------------------
The program below will crash with a segv:

~~~ruby
File.const_set :Separator, "hello"
File.const_set :SEPARATOR, "hello"

GC.start

File.join "hello", "world"
~~~

This is because the separator object is referenced from a global variable and setting the constants allows the object to be GC'd and the global will go bad.

I've attached a patch that contains a test to demonstrate the problem along with a fix.
