Description

Extension libraries take precedence in checks of later Kernel.#require calls for features without file extensions. That behavior is inconsistent with the first call, and can cause problems.

For instance, feature openssl has openssl.rb and openssl.so, but it assumes openssl.rb will always be loaded when it gets required. That assumption works for the first call of Kernel.#require, but for the later calls, require assumes openssl.so is being required and checks if the file is valid for the requirement.

Usually that is not so problematic since it just check if openssl.so, which is already required by openssl.rb, is required or not. However, if there is a new alternative openssl.rb in $:, the file will be loaded and conflict with the feature already loaded.
The below is a code example.

p $:.include? '/usr/lib/ruby/2.4.0' # true
p $:.include? '/home/aki/mastodon/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/openssl-2.0.5/lib' # false

p $".include? '/usr/lib/ruby/2.4.0/openssl/openssl.rb' # false
p $".include? '/home/aki/mastodon/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/openssl-2.0.5/lib/openssl.rb' # false

require 'openssl'

p $".include? '/usr/lib/ruby/2.4.0/openssl/openssl.rb' # true
p $".include? '/home/aki/mastodon/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/openssl-2.0.5/lib/openssl.rb' # false

$:.unshift '/home/aki/mastodon/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/openssl-2.0.5/lib'
require 'openssl'

p $".include? '/home/aki/mastodon/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/openssl-2.0.5/lib/openssl.rb' # true (unexpected)
