[ruby-core:94374] [Ruby master Bug#8946] Segmentation fault while NoMemoryError expected

Issue #8946 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Closed

From my testing, this was fixed between Ruby 2.2 and 2.3.  Starting with Ruby 2.3, instead of segfaulting, I get:

```
t.rb:5:in `<main>': index 268435456 too big (IndexError)
```

Bug #8946: Segmentation fault while NoMemoryError expected
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8946#change-80789

* Author: tmqhliu (Xiaoding Liu)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------

I was trying to watch gc behavior by generating NoMemoryError intentionally, a segmentation fault occurred without any exception raised.

the simple ruby code goes here: 

```rb
arr= []

begin
  while true
    arr << 1
  end
rescue NoMemoryError
  puts 'no memory'
  puts GC.count
end
```

here is the ruby command line output:
