Description

If the fiber scheduler doesn't define an unblock function, Ruby will segv when threads are joined.

Here is an example program:

class Scheduler
  def block blocker, timeout = nil
  end

  def fiber &block
    fiber = Fiber.new blocking: false, &block
    fiber.resume
    fiber
  end
end


Fiber.set_scheduler Scheduler.new

Fiber.schedule do
  Thread.new { }.join
end

The backtrace looks like this:

It seems like the ec is missing a tag:

(lldb) f 0
frame #0: 0x00000001000dc49a miniruby`rb_ec_tag_jump(ec=0x0000000100a2ec50, st=RUBY_TAG_RAISE) at eval_intern.h:185:20
   182 	static inline void
   183 	rb_ec_tag_jump(const rb_execution_context_t *ec, enum ruby_tag_type st)
   184 	{
-> 185 	    ec->tag->state = st;
   186 	    ruby_longjmp(ec->tag->buf, 1);
   187 	}
   188 	
(lldb) p ec->tag
(rb_vm_tag *const) $1 = 0x0000000000000000
(lldb) 

I tried popping the tag later in thread_start_func_2, but it caused the process to go in to an infinite loop.
