![]() Previously, backtrace_each fully populated the rb_backtrace_t with all backtrace frames, even if caller only requested a partial backtrace (e.g. Kernel#caller_locations(1, 1)). This changes backtrace_each to only add the requested frames to the rb_backtrace_t. To do this, backtrace_each needs to be passed the starting frame and number of frames values passed to Kernel#caller or #caller_locations. backtrace_each works from the top of the stack to the bottom, where the bottom is the current frame. Due to how the location for cfuncs is tracked using the location of the previous iseq, we need to store an extra frame for the previous iseq if we are limiting the backtrace and final backtrace frame (the first one stored) would be a cfunc and not an iseq. To limit the amount of work in this case, while scanning until the start of the requested backtrace, for each iseq, store the cfp. If the first backtrace frame we care about is a cfunc, use the stored cfp to find the related iseq. Use a function pointer to handle the storage of the cfp in the iteration arg, and also store the location of the extra frame in the iteration arg. backtrace_each needs to return int instead of void in order to signal when a starting frame larger than backtrace size is given, as caller and caller_locations needs to return nil and not the empty array in these cases. To handle cases where a range is provided with a negative end, and the backtrace size is needed to calculate the result to pass to rb_range_beg_len, add a backtrace_size static function to calculate the size, which copies the logic from backtrace_each. As backtrace_each only adds the backtrace lines requested, backtrace_to_*_ary can be simplified to always operate on the entire backtrace. Previously, caller_locations(1,1) was about 6.2 times slower for an 800 deep callstack compared to an empty callstack. With this new approach, it is only 1.3 times slower. It will always be somewhat slower as it still needs to scan the cfps from the top of the stack until it finds the first requested backtrace frame. This initializes the backtrace memory to zero. I do not think this is necessary, as from my analysis, nothing during the setting of the backtrace entries can cause a garbage collection, but it seems the safest approach, and it's unlikely the performance decrease is significant. This removes the rb_backtrace_t backtrace_base member. backtrace and backtrace_base were initialized to the same value, and neither is modified, so it doesn't make sense to have two pointers. This also removes LOCATION_TYPE_IFUNC from vm_backtrace.c, as the value is never set. Fixes [Bug #17031] |

What's 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, Haiku, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/contributing.rdoc#platform-maintainers
How to get Ruby
For a complete list of ways to install Ruby, including using third-party tools like rvm, see:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
Git
The mirror of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
There are some other branches under development. Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ git ls-remote https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
You may also want to use https://git.ruby-lang.org/ruby.git (actual master of Ruby source) if you are a committer.
Subversion
Stable branches for older Ruby versions can be checked out with the following command:
$ svn co https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_2_6/ ruby
Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ svn ls https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/

How to compile and install
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile Ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
If
./configure
does not exist or is older thanconfigure.ac
, runautoconf
to (re)generate configure. -
Run
./configure
, which will generateconfig.h
andMakefile
.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..
andwarnflags=..
as necessary to override them. -
Edit
include/ruby/defines.h
if you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Remove comment mark(
#
) before the module names fromext/Setup
(or add module names if not present), if you want to link modules statically.If you don't want to compile non static extension modules (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic
" inext/Setup
.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make
.- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
ruby
binary. See also codesign(1).
- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
-
Optionally, run '
make check
' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded
", your Ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Run '
make install
'.This command will create the following directories and install files into them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}

${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}
is 'x', the${MINOR}
is 'y', and the${TEENY}
is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install Ruby.
If you fail to compile Ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext
'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
