The next dev meeting

Date: 2024/10/03 13:00-17:00 (JST)
Log: https://github.com/ruby/dev-meeting-log/blob/master/2024/DevMeeting-2024-10-03.md

• Dev meeting IS NOT a decision-making place. All decisions should be done at the bug tracker.
• Dev meeting is a place we can ask Matz, nobu, nurse and other developers directly.
• Matz is a very busy person. Take this opportunity to ask him. If you can not attend, other attendees can ask instead of you (if attendees can understand your issue).
• We will write a record of the discussion in the file or to each ticket in English.
• All activities are best-effort (keep in mind that most of us are volunteer developers).
• The date, time and place of the meeting are scheduled according to when/where we can reserve Matz's time.
• DO NOT discuss then on this ticket, please.

Call for agenda items

If you have a ticket that you want matz and committers to discuss, please post it into this ticket in the following format:

* [Ticket ref] Ticket title (your name)
  * Comment (A summary of the ticket, why you put this ticket here, what point should be discussed, etc.)

Example:

* [Feature #14609] `Kernel#p` without args shows the receiver (ko1)
  * I feel this feature is very useful and some people say :+1: so let discuss this feature.

• It is recommended to add a comment by 2024/09/30. We hold a preparatory meeting to create an agenda a few days before the dev-meeting.
• The format is strict. We'll use this script to automatically create an markdown-style agenda. We may ignore a comment that does not follow the format.
• Your comment is mandatory. We cannot read all discussion of the ticket in a limited time. We appreciate it if you could write a short summary and update from a previous discussion.

[byroot (Jean Boussier)]

• [Misc #20746] Request to migrate the json gem from flori/json repository to ruby/json (byroot)
  • Current maintainers don't have full administrative rights over the repo, which is problematic.
  • We've been trying to contact flori to try to resolve this situation with a transfer for over two years now, without success.

[tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson)]

• [Misc #20728] Add eileencodes as a core committer
  • She's made many useful contributions
  • She's currently helping to maintain Prism / Prism Compiler and it would be helpful if she can merge her own commits

[Eregon (Benoit Daloze)]

• [Feature #20750] Expose ruby_thread_has_gvl_p in ruby/thread.h (eregon)
  • I think rb_thread_call_with_gvl() should be allowed if the GVL is already acquired, it seems a much nicer way to solve the use cases the OP pointed out (for a C function which can be called either with or without GVL).
  • @ko1 (Koichi Sasada) What do you think, how do you want to solve that issue?

[hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)]

• [Feature #10459] [PATCH] rfc3339 method for Time
  • https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/b88d9af34fbc1c84ce2769ba02584eab2c28ac6e/activesupport/lib/active_support/time_with_zone.rb#L152
  • It seems reasonable.
  • We introduce that with C ext same as xmlschema?
• [Feature #17295] Feature: Create a directory and file with Pathname#touch
  • I found same use case for that today. How about this?
    • https://github.com/BerkeleyLibrary/util/blob/main/spec/berkeley_library/util/files_spec.rb#L16
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3706
• [Feature #17297] Feature: Introduce Pathname.mktmpdir
  • How about this?
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3709
• [Feature #17294] Feature: Allow method chaining with Pathname#mkpath Pathname#rmtree
  • How about this?
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3705
• [Feature #17296] Feature: Pathname#chmod use FileUtils.chmod instead of File
  • It's reasonable and useful.
  • Does anyone have concern?
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3708
• [GH-2974] Pathname#mountpoint? to support bind mount
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2974
• Implement Pathname#chdir
  • Does anyone know the reason why removing chdir?
  • https://github.com/ruby/pathname/pull/33
• [GH-2024] each_address should resolve for AAAA first
  • Does anyone have any concern?
  • https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2024
• [Feature #18127] Ractor-local version of Singleton
  • What's the blocker for this?

[Eregon (Benoit Daloze)]

• [Feature #6012] Proc#source_location also return the column (eregon)
  • How about {Proc,Method,UnboundMethod}.source_location #=> [path, start_line, start_column, start_offset, end_line, end_column, end_offset] ?
  • How about {Proc,Method,UnboundMethod}.code_location #=> object with path, start_line, start_column, start_offset, end_line, end_column, end_offset and code ?
  • It would avoid having to use RubyVM to find this information.
  • If some do not like these APIs, what do they suggest instead?
