Bug #20332

Updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) about 2 months ago

 

 Hi, 

  

 Note: I am not an expert at ruby. 

 I am working on ibm_db gem, its an adapter developed using ruby C extension, which helps ruby & rails applications to connect to DB2 database. 
  
 Here is a github link for its source https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/tree/master 

 As of now ibm_db gem is compatible with ruby v 3.1. 
 Now I am trying to make ibm_db gem compatible with ruby v 3.2.3. 

 All my test cases were working for ruby v 3.1, but post upgrading to ruby v 3.2.3, most of my test cases are failing. 

 After debugging using gdb what I see is, my ruby test cases calls ruby C extension API passing required arguments, but inside C extension code arguments are not parsed, indeed nothing is read. Because of this most of test cases are failing. 

  

 Below is a sample ruby script which when run calls ibm_db extension, 

 ``` ruby 
 $ `$ irb 
 irb(main):001:0>    require 'ibm_db' 
 => true 
 irb(main):002:0> conn = IBM_DB.connect("DATABASE=sample;HOSTNAME=waldevdbclnxtst06.dev.rocketsoftware.com;PORT=60000;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=zurbie;PWD=A2m8test;",'','') 
 (irb):2: warning: undefining the allocator of T_DATA class IBM_DB::Connection 
 => #<IBM_DB::Connection:0x00007ff60314ce58> 
 irb(main):003:0> stmt = IBM_DB.exec conn,'create table abc(C1 int)' 
 => false 
 irb(main):004:0> 
 irb(main):005:0> IBM_DB.close(conn) 
 => true 
 irb(main):006:0> exit 


 ``` 


 

 ` 

 Above, If you observe IBM_DB.exec is called passing two arguments conn & string with create table query. 
 In extension code https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/blob/master/IBM_DB_Driver/ibm_db.c, 
  
 below function will be called 

 ``` c 
  

 VALUE ibm_db_exec(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) 
  
 { 
 
     .... 
 
     rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "21", &connection, &stmt, &options); 
 
     ...... 

 } 

 ``` 

 Note: Please refer https://github.com/ibmdb/ruby-ibmdb/blob/master/IBM_DB_Driver/ibm_db.c for complete code. 

 rb_scan_args used to parse arguments very well in ruby v 3.1, but now its failing to do so. I see stmt parameter doesnt hold anything. 

 I just want to know whats issue here, Am I passing arguments in wrong way (in ruby script), or am I not using rb_scan_args properly ? 

 To reproduce, 
  
     Install ruby v 3.2.3, 
  
     Install ibm_db gem version 5.4.1 (latest) 
 
     Run above sample ruby script using IRB. 

 Response at earliest is much appreciated. 

 Thanks 
 Praveen
