Ruby 3.2.0 Released

Posted by naruse on 25 Dec 2022

We are pleased to announce the release of Ruby 3.2.0. Ruby 3.2 adds many features and performance improvements.

This is an initial port of WASI based WebAssembly support. This enables a CRuby binary to be available on a Web browser, a Serverless Edge environment, or other kinds of WebAssembly/WASI embedders. Currently this port passes basic and bootstrap test suites not using the Thread API.

WebAssembly (Wasm) was originally introduced to run programs safely and fast in web browsers. But its objective - running programs efficiently with security on various environment - is long wanted not only for web but also by general applications.

WASI (The WebAssembly System Interface) is designed for such use cases. Though such applications need to communicate with operating systems, WebAssembly runs on a virtual machine which didn’t have a system interface. WASI standardizes it.

WebAssembly/WASI support in Ruby intends to leverage those projects. It enables Ruby developers to write applications which run on such promised platforms.

This support encourages developers to utilize CRuby in a WebAssembly environment. An example use case is TryRuby playground’s CRuby support. Now you can try original CRuby in your web browser.

Today’s WASI and WebAssembly itself is missing some features to implement Fiber, exception, and GC because it’s still evolving, and also for security reasons. So CRuby fills the gap by using Asyncify, which is a binary transformation technique to control execution in userland.

In addition, we built a VFS on top of WASI so that we can easily pack Ruby apps into a single .wasm file. This makes distribution of Ruby apps a bit easier.

• Add WASI based WebAssembly support #5407
• An Update on WebAssembly/WASI Support in Ruby

• YJIT is no longer experimental
  • Has been tested on production workloads for over a year and proven to be quite stable.
• YJIT now supports both x86-64 and arm64/aarch64 CPUs on Linux, MacOS, BSD and other UNIX platforms.
  • This release brings support for Apple M1/M2, AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi 4 and more.
• Building YJIT now requires Rust 1.58.0+. [Feature #18481]
  • In order to ensure that CRuby is built with YJIT, please install rustc >= 1.58.0 before running the ./configure script.
  • Please reach out to the YJIT team should you run into any issues.
• The YJIT 3.2 release is faster than 3.1, and has about 1/3 as much memory overhead.
  • Overall YJIT is 41% faster (geometric mean) than the Ruby interpreter on yjit-bench.
  • Physical memory for JIT code is lazily allocated. Unlike Ruby 3.1, the RSS of a Ruby process is minimized because virtual memory pages allocated by --yjit-exec-mem-size will not be mapped to physical memory pages until actually utilized by JIT code.
  • Introduce Code GC that frees all code pages when the memory consumption by JIT code reaches --yjit-exec-mem-size.
  • RubyVM::YJIT.runtime_stats returns Code GC metrics in addition to existing inline_code_size and outlined_code_size keys: code_gc_count, live_page_count, freed_page_count, and freed_code_size.
• Most of the statistics produced by RubyVM::YJIT.runtime_stats are now available in release builds.
  • Simply run ruby with --yjit-stats to compute and dump stats (incurs some run-time overhead).
• YJIT is now optimized to take advantage of object shapes. [Feature #18776]
• Take advantage of finer-grained constant invalidation to invalidate less code when defining new constants. [Feature #18589]
• The default --yjit-exec-mem-size is changed to 64 (MiB).
• The default --yjit-call-threshold is changed to 30.

It is known that Regexp matching may take unexpectedly long. If your code attempts to match a possibly inefficient Regexp against an untrusted input, an attacker may exploit it for efficient Denial of Service (so-called Regular expression DoS, or ReDoS).

We have introduced two improvements that significantly mitigate ReDoS.

Since Ruby 3.2, Regexp’s matching algorithm has been greatly improved by using a memoization technique.

# This match takes 10 sec. in Ruby 3.1, and 0.003 sec. in Ruby 3.2

/^a*b?a*$/ =~ "a" * 50000 + "x"

The improved matching algorithm allows most Regexp matching (about 90% in our experiments) to be completed in linear time.

This optimization may consume memory proportional to the input length for each match. We expect no practical problems to arise because this memory allocation is usually delayed, and a normal Regexp match should consume at most 10 times as much memory as the input length. If you run out of memory when matching Regexps in a real-world application, please report it.

The original proposal is https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19104

The optimization above cannot be applied to some kind of regular expressions, such as those including advanced features (e.g., back-references or look-around), or with a huge fixed number of repetitions. As a fallback measure, a timeout feature for Regexp matches is also introduced.

Regexp.timeout = 1.0

/^a*b?a*()\1$/ =~ "a" * 50000 + "x"
#=> Regexp::TimeoutError is raised in one second

Note that Regexp.timeout is a global configuration. If you want to use different timeout settings for some special Regexps, you may want to use the timeout keyword for Regexp.new.

Regexp.timeout = 1.0

# This regexp has no timeout
long_time_re = Regexp.new('^a*b?a*()\1$', timeout: Float::INFINITY)

long_time_re =~ "a" * 50000 + "x" # never interrupted

The original proposal is https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17837.

• The feature of syntax_suggest (formerly dead_end) is integrated into Ruby. This helps you find the position of errors such as missing or superfluous ends, to get you back on your way faster, such as in the following example:

  Unmatched `end', missing keyword (`do', `def`, `if`, etc.) ?
  
    1  class Dog
  > 2    defbark
  > 3    end
    4  end
  

  [Feature #18159]

• Now it points at the relevant argument(s) for TypeError and ArgumentError

test.rb:2:in `+': nil can't be coerced into Integer (TypeError)

sum = ary[0] + ary[1]
               ^^^^^^

• Anonymous rest and keyword rest arguments can now be passed as arguments, instead of just used in method parameters. [Feature #18351]

    def foo(*)
      bar(*)
    end
    def baz(**)
      quux(**)
    end
  

• A proc that accepts a single positional argument and keywords will no longer autosplat. [Bug #18633]

  proc{|a, **k| a}.call([1, 2])
  # Ruby 3.1 and before
  # => 1
  # Ruby 3.2 and after
  # => [1, 2]
  

• Constant assignment evaluation order for constants set on explicit objects has been made consistent with single attribute assignment evaluation order. With this code:

  foo is now called before baz. Similarly, for multiple assignments to constants, left-to-right evaluation order is used. With this code:

      foo1::BAR1, foo2::BAR2 = baz1, baz2
  

  The following evaluation order is now used:

  1. foo1
  2. foo2
  3. baz1
  4. baz2

  [Bug #15928]

• The find pattern is no longer experimental. [Feature #18585]

• Methods taking a rest parameter (like *args) and wishing to delegate keyword arguments through foo(*args) must now be marked with ruby2_keywords (if not already the case). In other words, all methods wishing to delegate keyword arguments through *args must now be marked with ruby2_keywords, with no exception. This will make it easier to transition to other ways of delegation once a library can require Ruby 3+. Previously, the ruby2_keywords flag was kept if the receiving method took *args, but this was a bug and an inconsistency. A good technique to find potentially missing ruby2_keywords is to run the test suite, find the last method which must receive keyword arguments for each place where the test suite fails, and use puts nil, caller, nil there. Then check that each method/block on the call chain which must delegate keywords is correctly marked with ruby2_keywords. [Bug #18625] [Bug #16466]

    def target(**kw)
    end
  
    # Accidentally worked without ruby2_keywords in Ruby 2.7-3.1, ruby2_keywords
    # needed in 3.2+. Just like (*args, **kwargs) or (...) would be needed on
    # both #foo and #bar when migrating away from ruby2_keywords.
    ruby2_keywords def bar(*args)
      target(*args)
    end
  
    ruby2_keywords def foo(*args)
      bar(*args)
    end
  
    foo(k: 1)
  

• The MJIT compiler is re-implemented in Ruby as ruby_vm/mjit/compiler.
• MJIT compiler is executed under a forked process instead of doing it in a native thread called MJIT worker. [Feature #18968]
  • As a result, Microsoft Visual Studio (MSWIN) is no longer supported.
• MinGW is no longer supported. [Feature #18824]
• Rename --mjit-min-calls to --mjit-call-threshold.
• Change default --mjit-max-cache back from 10000 to 100.

• Bundler 2.4 now uses PubGrub resolver instead of Molinillo.

  • PubGrub is the next generation solving algorithm used by pub package manager for the Dart programming language.
  • You may get different resolution result after this change. Please report such cases to RubyGems/Bundler issues

• RubyGems still uses Molinillo resolver in Ruby 3.2. We plan to replace it with PubGrub in the future.

• Data

  • New core class to represent simple immutable value object. The class is similar to Struct and partially shares an implementation, but has more lean and strict API. [Feature #16122]

      Measure = Data.define(:amount, :unit)
      distance = Measure.new(100, 'km')            #=> #<data Measure amount=100, unit="km">
      weight = Measure.new(amount: 50, unit: 'kg') #=> #<data Measure amount=50, unit="kg">
      weight.with(amount: 40)                      #=> #<data Measure amount=40, unit="kg">
      weight.amount                                #=> 50
      weight.amount = 40                           #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `amount='
    

• Hash
  • Hash#shift now always returns nil if the hash is empty, instead of returning the default value or calling the default proc. [Bug #16908]
• MatchData
  • MatchData#byteoffset has been added. [Feature #13110]
• Module
  • Module.used_refinements has been added. [Feature #14332]
  • Module#refinements has been added. [Feature #12737]
  • Module#const_added has been added. [Feature #17881]
• Proc
  • Proc#dup returns an instance of subclass. [Bug #17545]
  • Proc#parameters now accepts lambda keyword. [Feature #15357]
• Refinement
  • Refinement#refined_class has been added. [Feature #12737]
• RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree
  • Add error_tolerant option for parse, parse_file and of. [Feature #19013] With this option
    1. SyntaxError is suppressed
    2. AST is returned for invalid input
    3. end is complemented when a parser reaches to the end of input but end is insufficient
    4. end is treated as keyword based on indent

      # Without error_tolerant option
      root = RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse(<<~RUBY)
      def m
        a = 10
        if
      end
      RUBY
      # => <internal:ast>:33:in `parse': syntax error, unexpected `end' (SyntaxError)
    
      # With error_tolerant option
      root = RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse(<<~RUBY, error_tolerant: true)
      def m
        a = 10
        if
      end
      RUBY
      p root # => #<RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node:SCOPE@1:0-4:3>
    
      # `end` is treated as keyword based on indent
      root = RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse(<<~RUBY, error_tolerant: true)
      module Z
        class Foo
          foo.
        end
    
        def bar
        end
      end
      RUBY
      p root.children[-1].children[-1].children[-1].children[-2..-1]
      # => [#<RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node:CLASS@2:2-4:5>, #<RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node:DEFN@6:2-7:5>]
    

  • Add keep_tokens option for parse, parse_file and of. [Feature #19070]

      root = RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse("x = 1 + 2", keep_tokens: true)
      root.tokens # => [[0, :tIDENTIFIER, "x", [1, 0, 1, 1]], [1, :tSP, " ", [1, 1, 1, 2]], ...]
      root.tokens.map{_1[2]}.join # => "x = 1 + 2"
    

• Set
  • Set is now available as a builtin class without the need for require "set". [Feature #16989] It is currently autoloaded via the Set constant or a call to Enumerable#to_set.
• String
  • String#byteindex and String#byterindex have been added. [Feature #13110]
  • Update Unicode to Version 15.0.0 and Emoji Version 15.0. [Feature #18639] (also applies to Regexp)
  • String#bytesplice has been added. [Feature #18598]
• Struct

  • A Struct class can also be initialized with keyword arguments without keyword_init: true on Struct.new [Feature #16806]

      Post = Struct.new(:id, :name)
      Post.new(1, "hello") #=> #<struct Post id=1, name="hello">
      # From Ruby 3.2, the following code also works without keyword_init: true.
      Post.new(id: 1, name: "hello") #=> #<struct Post id=1, name="hello">
    

Note: Excluding feature bug fixes.
