• Status: Closed
• Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
• Target version: 2.6
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-linux]

[Feanor (mike pusti)]

I requested the route http://localhost:3000/authorization_rules of my Rails 3 project when the development server crashed.

http://github.com/stffn/declarative_authorization

Arch Linux( Kernel: 2.6.35-ARCH )
rvm 1.0.18

• File crash.log crash.log added

It produces 2 different outputs

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

• Priority changed from 5 to 3

It's infinite recurring, seems to fail to check if the SEGV is stack orverflow, but it's not always guaranteed.

Here's a summary of crash.log: https://gist.github.com/1048296
As nobu said, infinite recursion should be the cause.

mike, would you please contact to declarative_authorization author for help?

Sasada-san, please close this ticket as 'Rejected(Not a bug)' if you're OK. I'm assigning you since I heard that you wanted to detect some kinds of infinite recursions as 'SystemStackError'. I don't know it's the one or not.

• Target version changed from 1.9.3 to 2.0.0

I send it to 1.9.x. (don't touch it before 1.9.3).

Could you try on current trunk?

[ko1 (Koichi Sasada)]

• Target version changed from 2.0.0 to 2.6

[zzak (zzak _)]

No feedback for over a year, should we close this?

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

• Description updated (diff)

Seems stack overflow, probably.
1.9.2 has died long ago, and there are many changes for it.
I think there is no chance for new release.

[zzak (zzak _)]

I am concerned about what Nahi said regarding infinite recursion handling. Also, after 2.0 Koichi asked for reproduce on trunk which makes me think he anticipates this issue > 1.9.2.

I'll leave this ticket for ko1 to determine whether or not it should be closed
