From: muraken@... Date: 2019-01-03T07:13:19+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:90869] [Ruby trunk Bug#15500] Behavior of require method in 2.5 is different from 2.4 and 2.6 Issue #15500 has been updated by mrkn (Kenta Murata). I think the behavior of 2.5 can be thought of a bug because the behavior for .so file isn't consistent with one for .rb file. You can see the inconsistency in the results below. ``` $ ruby -rbigdecimal/util -ve 'p $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/bigdecimal/)' ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-linux] ["/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.so", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.rb", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal/util.so", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal/util.rb"] ``` In this case, `bigdecimal/util` is required, and the gem-installed version of `bigdecimal/util.rb` is loaded. You can see the gem-installed version of `bigdecimal.so` is also loaded. The behavior is changed when `bigdecimal` is required before `bigdecimal/util`. ``` $ ruby -rbigdecimal -rbigdecimal/util -ve 'p $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/bigdecimal/)' ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-linux] /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.rb:7: warning: method redefined; discarding old new Traceback (most recent call last): 5: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' 4: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' 3: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal/util.rb:9:in `' 2: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:34:in `require' 1: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:130:in `rescue in require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:130:in `require': /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal/util.so: undefined symbol: rmpd_util_str_to_d - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal/util.so (LoadError) ``` In this case, LoadError is occurred by the symbol resolution failure of bigdecimal/util.so. This file is newly introduced since bigdecimal-1.4.0. Although `bigdecimal.so` in bigdecimal-1.4.2 has `rmpd_util_str_to_d`, it isn't loaded because the default-gem version of `bigdecimal.so` is loaded by `-rbigdecimal` option. The difference between the default-gem and gem-installed versions is whether `bigdecimal.rb exists. Although I've not investigated the implementation of Ruby 2.5's `require` method yet, I consider that Ruby 2.5 won't search in the gem-installed version if there is .so file but there isn't .rb file. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15500: Behavior of require method in 2.5 is different from 2.4 and 2.6 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15500#change-76056 * Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin18] * Backport: 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- On Ruby 2.5, `require 'bigdecimal'` does not load `bigdecimal.so` in gem-installed version of bigdecimal without specifying the version by `gem` method. You can examine this phenomenon by the following code. ```ruby require 'bigdecimal' p $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/bigdecimal/).first ``` After installing bigdecimal-1.4.2 by `gem install bigdecimal` command, this code (saved as `t.rb`) show the following results: On Ruby 2.4.5 ``` $ ruby-2.4.5 -v t.rb ruby 2.4.5p335 (2018-10-18 revision 65137) [x86_64-darwin18] "/Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.4.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.bundle" ``` On Ruby 2.5.3: ``` $ ruby-2.5.3 -v t.rb ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin18] "/Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.5.3/lib/ruby/2.5.0/x86_64-darwin18/bigdecimal.bundle" ``` On Ruby 2.6.0: ``` $ ruby-2.6.0 -v t.rb ruby 2.6.0p0 (2018-12-25 revision 66547) [x86_64-darwin18] "/Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.6.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.bundle" ``` On Ruby 2.5.3, with `gem 'bigdecimal', '1.4.2'`, the correct file can be loaded. ``` $ ( echo "gem 'bigdecimal', '1.4.2'"; cat t.rb ) | ruby-2.5.3 -v - ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin18] "/Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.5.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bigdecimal-1.4.2/lib/bigdecimal.bundle" ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
