OK, it’s a dirty trick to change class definitions behind PStore’s
back. If I run these two scripts, the second segfaults, saying:
ruby_pstore_bug.rb:9: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-linux]
Aborted (core dumped)
···
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require ‘pstore’
class Foo
def initialize(foo)
@foo = foo
end
end
pstore = PStore.new(’.pstore_bug.pstore’)
pstore.transaction do
pstore[‘foo’] = Foo.new(‘akdhakjsh’)
end
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require ‘pstore’
Foo = Struct.new(:foo)
pstore = PStore.new(’.pstore_bug.pstore’)
pstore.transaction do
pstore[‘foo’].foo
end
You have to call Foo#foo to get the segfault, just extracting the
object is not enough.
I’m running Ruby 1.6.7 on GNU/Linux, kernel 2.2.20 . I saw the same
behaviour with Ruby 1.6.6 .
