Bug #14279

Modifying splat argument causes segmentation fault

ruby 2.5.0rc1 (2017-12-14 trunk 61243) [x86_64-linux]
[ruby-core:84622]

Description

Using Docker Ruby images ruby:2.2 through ruby:rc as of 2018-01-03, this little bit of code causes a segmentation fault:

class A 
  def x(*args)
    args = 13
    super
  end
end
A.new.x

I'm not sure what the behavior of super ought to be here, and it doesn't seem to be addressed by The Ruby Spec Suite, but with Ruby 2.1 (Docker ruby:2.1) this causes a "no superclass method" exception rather than crashing the interpreter. I'm guessing this has to do with the optimization in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10440

I think something like a TypeError should be raised in such a case.

check array for zsuper. [Bug #14279]

  • compile.c (iseq_compile_each0): for zsuper (NODE_ZSUPER), we need to check
    given argument is Array or not.

  • test/ruby/test_super.rb: add a test for this bug.

I think something like a TypeError should be raised in such a case.

a = 13
p(*a) #=> 13

So that this case is similar to super(13).

Ruby 2.2 to 2.5 have same issue.
Thank you for your report.

  • Backport changed from 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN to 2.3: REQUIRED, 2.4: REQUIRED, 2.5: REQUIRED

Though I cannot reproduce SEGV on my box with any version of ruby (2.2.6, 2.4.6, 2.4.3, 2.5.0), I believe reporter's and ko1's statement and set Backport field. :p

I could reproduce on 2.2 and 2.5.0 fwiw.
