Bug #20856
closedIncorrect and inconsistent multi-thread eval execution with Prism compiler
Description
Consider example:
s = Thread.new {
a = 5
puts eval("a == b")
x = 6
}
s.join
b = 11
As far as I see it, it should not work. Because at the moment of eval, b is unknown and not even declared (it can even be in condition).
But it may be available because file iseq
already compiled and we know that there is b.
So, this works in ruby 3.3 in a script we running, wrapped into the method, or required by other file.
But in 3.4-preview2:
- it works in file
- it works in method
- it fails if required from other file with:
#<Thread:0x00007725530d6a98 /home/hurricup/Projects/ruby-debugger/rdi30/test2.rb:1 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
(eval at /home/hurricup/Projects/ruby-debugger/rdi30/test2.rb:3):1:in 'block in <top (required)>': undefined local variable or method 'b' for main (NameError)
from /home/hurricup/Projects/ruby-debugger/rdi30/test2.rb:3:in 'Kernel#eval'
from /home/hurricup/Projects/ruby-debugger/rdi30/test2.rb:3:in 'block in <top (required)>'

And this ^^ is correct behavior if you ask me :) but atm it is inconsistent between the ruby versions and even in the scope of 3.4-preview2

- Backport changed from 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN to 3.1: DONTNEED, 3.2: DONTNEED, 3.3: DONTNEED
It's a bug of 3.4.0-preview2 and specifically of the Prism compiler, 3.3 and earlier and --parser=parse.y
succeed for all cases.
The order is:
- parse that file:
- execute it
- in that new thread eval is called
- that parses
a == b
, with outer scopes [[a,x], [s,b]] (all local variables are hoisted to the start of the method/block in Ruby).
