For versions of ruby on OSX the current official release of the google-protobuf gem (3.21.12) will segfault when iterating over proto objects in threads.
I haven't tested every version of ruby, but it at least impacts these versions (compiled with ruby-build and/or homebrew)
- ruby 2.7.7p221 (2022-11-24 revision 168ec2b1e5) [arm64-darwin22]
- ruby 3.1.0p0 (2021-12-25 revision fb4df44d16) [arm64-darwin22]
- ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [arm64-darwin22]
- ruby 3.2.1 (2023-02-08 revision 31819e82c8) [x86_64-darwin19]
- ruby 3.2.1 (2023-02-08 revision 31819e82c8) [arm64-darwin22]
- ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [arm64-darwin22]
You can test this behavior with
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=Gemfile bundle install
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=Gemfile bundle exec ruby thread_example.rb
Note that you might need to run the last command a few times to see the segfault but it happens nearly every time on in my experience.
Interestingly, system rubies on OSX seem fine (at least for the following versions)
- ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin19]
- ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin22]
Also of note, this seems to be fixed in the pre-release gem (4.0.0.rc.1). You can confirm the fix with
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=GemfilePre bundle install
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=GemfilePre bundle exec ruby thread_example.rb
Example crash output for v3.21.12:
