Bug #18119: Ractor crashes when instantiating classes

• Status: Assigned
• Priority: Normal
• Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)

• ruby -v: ruby 3.1.0dev (2021-08-19T08:44:48Z master 6963f8f743) [x86_64-linux]
• Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN

[peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu)]

The following script crashes with a segfault (tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and macOS 11.5.2):

workers = (0...8).map do
  Ractor.new do
    loop do
      100.times.map { Class.new }
      Ractor.yield nil
    end
  end
end

100.times { Ractor.select(*workers) }

Crash error:

<internal:ractor>:267: warning: Ractor is experimental, and the behavior may change in future versions of Ruby! Also there are many implementation issues.
