During compilation, we write keyword default values into the iseq, so we should mark it to ensure it does not get GC'd. This might fix issues on ASAN like http://ci.rvm.jp/logfiles/brlog.trunk_asan.20240927-194923 ==805257==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: use-after-poison on address 0x7b7e5e3e2828 at pc 0x5e09ac4822f8 bp 0x7ffde56b0140 sp 0x7ffde56b0138 READ of size 8 at 0x7b7e5e3e2828 thread T0 #0 0x5e09ac4822f7 in RB_BUILTIN_TYPE include/ruby/internal/value_type.h:191:30 #1 0x5e09ac4822f7 in rbimpl_RB_TYPE_P_fastpath include/ruby/internal/value_type.h:352:19 #2 0x5e09ac4822f7 in gc_mark gc/default.c:4488:9 #3 0x5e09ac51011e in rb_iseq_mark_and_move iseq.c:361:17 #4 0x5e09ac4b85c4 in rb_imemo_mark_and_move imemo.c:386:9 #5 0x5e09ac467544 in rb_gc_mark_children gc.c:2508:9 #6 0x5e09ac482c24 in gc_mark_children gc/default.c:4673:5 #7 0x5e09ac482c24 in gc_mark_stacked_objects gc/default.c:4694:9 #8 0x5e09ac482c24 in gc_mark_stacked_objects_all gc/default.c:4732:12 #9 0x5e09ac48c7f9 in gc_marks_rest gc/default.c:5755:9 #10 0x5e09ac48c7f9 in gc_marks gc/default.c:5870:9 #11 0x5e09ac48c7f9 in gc_start gc/default.c:6517:13
What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/maintainers_md.html#label-Platform+Maintainers
