Garbage collector problems
Note: I assume you know basic facts about the C stack, I'm using the x86
stack (continuous, grows downwards) as a reference
The Ruby GC scans the C stack for heap pointers to find live references
to
Ruby objects in C code.
The problem is that the area of the C stack doesn't get detected
correctly.
Usually it makes no difference - all the references stay inside that
area
anyway.
But when embedding Ruby, things get a little bit different.
The stack base gets set when you first call ruby_init() (calling
Init_stack
somewhere) or when the current stack pointer is higher than the current
stack
base.
This almost always suffices, because ruby_init() gets called at the top
level of your program, usually main(), so the stack base gets set high
enough
to find any references that are held in procedures called by main().
But let's look at another (imaginary) case - a Ruby extension for
PostgreSQL
that embeds Ruby.
Lets say that ruby_init() gets called by PostgreSQL while initializing
it's
extensions. The extension finding procedure is very complex, so it has
accumulated a lot of stack.
Stack diagram ahead (stack grows leftwards)
ruby_init() --- some_proc() --- some_proc() --- load_ext() --- main()
^^^ Now, the stack base gets set here.
After a while, it falls back to main()-level select(), a request arrives
and
immediately Ruby has to execute code, this time with low stack overhead.
............................... ruby_stuff() --- request() --- main()
^^^ Stack base is still here
ruby_stuff() holds a lot of references to Ruby objects and allocates
more
memory, so after a while the garbage collector gets called. The stack
base
gets fixed up according to the rule above.
................... ruby_gc --- ruby_stuff() --- request() --- main()
^^^ Stack base moved here
What is wrong with this situation? Well, the stack base gets moved
BEFORE
ruby_stuff(), and stack references held by ruby_stuff() don't get
scanned!
So when the garbage collector gets called, it sweeps objects that are
still
held by ruby_stuff()!
I tested this using http://slowbyte.colony.ee/ruby/boom.c and it seems
that
I'm right, at least it segfaults when I do the steps I described above.
I
also extended the GC a bit and it shows that it really doesn't scan the
ruby_stuff() area :) (Yes, boom.c is a hack, but this could happen in
real
life :)
So what's my point? How to fix this? I don't know :) I'm just trying to
warn
all the people that embed Ruby. Please call ruby_init() in main() so the
GC
can find your objects :)
