Bug #18912
closedBuild failure with Xcode 14 and macOS 13 (Ventura) Beta
Description
TL;DR: We fixed this issue at Ruby 2.7-3.1 and master branch. But the stable versions are not released yet.
- Option 1: We strongly recommend to not upgrade Xcode 14 and its toolchains for macOS 12(Monterey) users. If you already update Xcode 14, you remove them with
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
and install Xcode 13.x or toolchains from https://developer.apple.com/download/all - Option 2: macOS 13 (Ventura) couldn't install Xcode13. We should add
--without=+,bigdecimal --enable-shared
to theconfigure
option.
Today, I tried to build ruby master with macOS 13 (Ventura) Beta. It breaks the build status caused by Xcode 14 beta changes.
- Build failed without
--enable-shared
.
I build ruby master without --enable-shared
option. I got the following error.

@katei (Yuta Saito) says this error affects with -undefined dynamic_lookup
flags.
- Build error with bigdecimal
With --enabled-shared
resolved the first error. But I got the another build failure.

- test failure with mjit
I could build with --with-out-ext=+,bigdecimal --enable-share
option. But I also got the test failure with mjit.

I already shared this to @k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) .
macOS 13 beta is still development status. I will track this until the official release date.

Can you build with bigdecimal
included and post
cat ext/bigdecimal/mkmf.log
from the build directory?
I ran into similar errors when building on illumos and
it was due to bigdecimal
not configuring properly.

I've made a patch to address the linking failure issue by replacing -undefined dynamic_lookup
with -bundle_loader
.
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6193
The patch has been tested with Xcode 14 beta2 toolchain on macOS 12.4 Monterey, but not tested on the actual Ventura yet.

@katei (Yuta Saito) Thanks! I will test your patch when it's complete.
FYI: Xcode 14 beta 3 with macOS 13.0 public beta is still same results.
Updated by alanwu (Alan Wu) over 2 years ago
@hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) Thanks for the logs. Some symbols are
indeed not found due to link errors. For example,
rb_complex_real()
is provided but not found.
The linker error contradicts itself:
have_func: checking for rb_complex_real() in ruby.h... -------------------- no
...
ld: warning: ignoring file ../../libruby.3.2-static.a, building for macOS-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-arm64
So the error message could be better, at least.
Maybe the linker is not printing out the full
architecture stamp that it's comparing. You could
try checking otool -hv libruby.3.2-static.a
and
comparing that with otool -hv bigdecimal.o
.
The cpusubtype
column might be different.
Also, maybe bigdecimal and libruby are built with
different toolchains due the way the XCode beta is
setup? I should find some time to install the beta...

I tried https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6193 .
The first try is failed. Because my environment mixed the homebrew binutils
built by macOS 12.0(monterey).
I could build ruby after removing GNU binutils
from PATH
. and it could build bigdecimal
and pass with tests related MJIT.

After merging https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6193. We could build Ruby.
But We have still failing tests:

objc[10525]: +[NSPlaceholderMutableString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

Xcode 14 has been released. The all stable versions of Ruby couldn't build with Xcode 14.
We fixed this issue at Ruby 2.7-3.1 and master branch. But the stable versions are not released yet.
I strongly recommend to not upgrade Xcode 14 and its toolchains for macOS users. If you already update Xcode 14, you remove them with
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

I've been doing some digging around the TestProcess#test_daemon_noclose
test failure.
Minimum reproducible code is here
Process.daemon(false, true)
Dir.pwd
And got some facts:
- On macOS, you should not use Objective-C classes for the first time in a process forked from a multithreaded process without exec
- Because the +initialize mechanism called the first time you use an Objective-C class is not async signal safe.
- Sources: detailed blog post, comments in objc4 source code
- CRuby on macOS is always multithreaded due to the timer thread.
-
Kernel.fork
andProcess.daemon
can create "forked process without exec".- In other words, using Objective-C API after forked process may cause deadlock.
- CoreFoundation API used by
Dir.pwd
now depends on Objective-C classes from Ventura. (NEW in Ventura)
So, I guess this means that the potential deadlock was everywhere even before Ventura, and it was not caught in test suites. However it was finally revealed, thanks(?) to the CoreFoundation change introduced in Ventura.
IMHO this unsafe-ness is a problem that can only be solved on the user program side, not CRuby. So we can leave this problem to user responsibility and update the test case to be Objective-C friendly...
(I know this is not ideal solution, so let me know if you have a better solution)

According to the experiments by @katei (Yuta Saito), the followings are ok.
-
IO.popen
p IO.popen("-") { |f| if f f.gets else puts Dir.pwd end }
-
Dir.pwd
in forked processfork {p Dir.pwd}
-
Dir.pwd
in doubly forked processfork {fork {p Dir.pwd}}
Only the code using Process.daemon
in #note-12 does crash.

From my further debugging, I found that CoreFoundation internally creates NSTaggedPointerString for small strings since macOS 13.
This C code can check a string is represented by tagged pointer in CoreFoundation.
// $ clang -g main.c -framework CoreFoundation
// $ ./a.out # on macOS ~12
// CFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy("/") = 0x600003d94780 (tagged = NO)
// $ ./a.out # on macOS 13
// CFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy("/") = 0xab98bd5bc57e5fed (tagged = YES)
#include <CoreFoundation/CFString.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// Ref: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/objc4/blob/8701d5672d3fd3cd817aeb84db1077aafe1a1604/runtime/objc-internal.h#L446-L482
#if (TARGET_OS_OSX || TARGET_OS_MACCATALYST) && __x86_64__
# define _OBJC_TAG_MASK 1ULL
#else
# define _OBJC_TAG_MASK 0x8000000000000000ULL
#endif
#define _objc_isTaggedPointer(x) (((uintptr_t)(x)&_OBJC_TAG_MASK) != 0)
int main(void) {
long len = 1;
const char *ptr = "/";
CFStringRef s = CFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy(
kCFAllocatorDefault, (const UInt8 *)ptr, len, kCFStringEncodingUTF8,
FALSE, kCFAllocatorNull);
printf("CFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy(\"%s\") = %18p (tagged = %s)\n", ptr, s,
_objc_isTaggedPointer(s) ? "YES" : "NO");
return 0;
}
In the above reproducible case in #note-12,
-
Process.daemon(false, true)
performschdir("/")
-
Dir.pwd
callsCFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy
API with"/"
-
CFStringCreateWithBytesNoCopy
returnsNSTaggedPointerString
because"/"
is small enough to fit in the tagged string. -
CFStringCreateMutableCopy
callsNSMutableString
's methods based on the tagged string.
So a reduced minimum repro can be:
pid = fork { p File.realpath "/" }
Process.waitpid(pid)
To avoid Objective-C runtime crash, we need to warm up Objective-C classes internally used in CFString family API by passing small string before fork()
.
Here is a patch to address it https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6426

I tried to investigate bigdecimal's build problem on my MacBook Air. But, unfortunately, I couldn't. I used Xcode 14.0 on Ventura. I first tried with the following configure options: --enable-shared --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1) --with-libyaml-dir=$(brew --prefix libyaml)
. Then I tried just rbenv install 3.1.2
. In both cases, these build succeeded.
Could you please give me mkmf.log
in ext/bigdecimal directory?
