# NEWS for Ruby 3.1.0
2021-12-15 19:24:31 +03:00
This document is a list of user-visible feature changes
since the **3.0.0** release, except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept to a minimum, see links for details.
## Language changes
Evaluate multiple assignment left hand side before right hand side In regular assignment, Ruby evaluates the left hand side before the right hand side. For example: ```ruby foo[0] = bar ``` Calls `foo`, then `bar`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. Previously, multiple assignment didn't work this way. If you did: ```ruby abc.def, foo[0] = bar, baz ``` Ruby would previously call `bar`, then `baz`, then `abc`, then `def=` on the result of `abc`, then `foo`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. This change makes multiple assignment similar to single assignment, changing the evaluation order of the above multiple assignment code to calling `abc`, then `foo`, then `bar`, then `baz`, then `def=` on the result of `abc`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. Implementing this is challenging with the stack-based virtual machine. We need to keep track of all of the left hand side attribute setter receivers and setter arguments, and then keep track of the stack level while handling the assignment processing, so we can issue the appropriate topn instructions to get the receiver. Here's an example of how the multiple assignment is executed, showing the stack and instructions: ``` self # putself abc # send abc, self # putself abc, foo # send abc, foo, 0 # putobject 0 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # evaluate RHS abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar # expandarray abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar, abc # topn 5 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, abc, bar # swap abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, def= # send abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo # topn 3 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0 # topn 3 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0, baz # topn 2 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, []= # send abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # pop [bar, baz], foo, 0, [bar, baz] # setn 3 [bar, baz], foo, 0 # pop [bar, baz], foo # pop [bar, baz] # pop ``` As multiple assignment must deal with splats, post args, and any level of nesting, it gets quite a bit more complex than this in non-trivial cases. To handle this, struct masgn_state is added to keep track of the overall state of the mass assignment, which stores a linked list of struct masgn_attrasgn, one for each assigned attribute. This adds a new optimization that replaces a topn 1/pop instruction combination with a single swap instruction for multiple assignment to non-aref attributes. This new approach isn't compatible with one of the optimizations previously used, in the case where the multiple assignment return value was not needed, there was no lhs splat, and one of the left hand side used an attribute setter. This removes that optimization. Removing the optimization allowed for removing the POP_ELEMENT and adjust_stack functions. This adds a benchmark to measure how much slower multiple assignment is with the correct evaluation order. This benchmark shows: * 4-9% decrease for attribute sets * 14-23% decrease for array member sets * Basically same speed for local variable sets Importantly, it shows no significant difference between the popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is not needed) and !popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is needed) cases for attribute and array member sets. This indicates the previous optimization, which was dropped in the evaluation order fix and only affected the popped case, is not important to performance. Fixes [Bug #4443]

* The block argument can now be anonymous if the block will
only be passed to another method. [[Feature #11256]]
```ruby
def foo(&)
bar(&)
end
```
* Pin operator now takes an expression. [[Feature #17411]]
```ruby
Prime.each_cons(2).lazy.find_all{_1 in [n, ^(n + 2)]}.take(3).to_a
#=> [[3, 5], [5, 7], [11, 13]]
```
* Pin operator now supports instance, class, and global variables.
[[Feature #17724]]
```ruby
@n = 5
Prime.each_cons(2).lazy.find{_1 in [n, ^@n]}
#=> [3, 5]
```
* One-line pattern matching is no longer experimental.
* Parentheses can be omitted in one-line pattern matching.
[[Feature #16182]]
```ruby
[0, 1] => _, x
{y: 2} => y:
x #=> 1
y #=> 2
```
* Multiple assignment evaluation order has been made consistent with
single assignment evaluation order. With single assignment, Ruby
uses a left-to-right evaluation order. With this code:
Evaluate multiple assignment left hand side before right hand side In regular assignment, Ruby evaluates the left hand side before the right hand side. For example: ```ruby foo[0] = bar ``` Calls `foo`, then `bar`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. Previously, multiple assignment didn't work this way.

single assignment, with the left-hand side being evaluated before
the right-hand side:
Evaluate multiple assignment left hand side before right hand side In regular assignment, Ruby evaluates the left hand side before the right hand side. For example: ```ruby foo[0] = bar ``` Calls `foo`, then `bar`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. Previously, multiple assignment didn't work this way. If you did: ```ruby abc.def, foo[0] = bar, baz ``` Ruby would previously call `bar`, then `baz`, then `abc`, then `def=` on the result of `abc`, then `foo`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. This change makes multiple assignment similar to single assignment, changing the evaluation order of the above multiple assignment code to calling `abc`, then `foo`, then `bar`, then `baz`, then `def=` on the result of `abc`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`. Implementing this is challenging with the stack-based virtual machine. We need to keep track of all of the left hand side attribute setter receivers and setter arguments, and then keep track of the stack level while handling the assignment processing, so we can issue the appropriate topn instructions to get the receiver. Here's an example of how the multiple assignment is executed, showing the stack and instructions: ``` self # putself abc # send abc, self # putself abc, foo # send abc, foo, 0 # putobject 0 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # evaluate RHS abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar # expandarray abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar, abc # topn 5 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, abc, bar # swap abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, def= # send abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo # topn 3 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0 # topn 3 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0, baz # topn 2 abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, []= # send abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # pop [bar, baz], foo, 0, [bar, baz] # setn 3 [bar, baz], foo, 0 # pop [bar, baz], foo # pop [bar, baz] # pop ``` As multiple assignment must deal with splats, post args, and any level of nesting, it gets quite a bit more complex than this in non-trivial cases. To handle this, struct masgn_state is added to keep track of the overall state of the mass assignment, which stores a linked list of struct masgn_attrasgn, one for each assigned attribute. This adds a new optimization that replaces a topn 1/pop instruction combination with a single swap instruction for multiple assignment to non-aref attributes. This new approach isn't compatible with one of the optimizations previously used, in the case where the multiple assignment return value was not needed, there was no lhs splat, and one of the left hand side used an attribute setter. This removes that optimization. Removing the optimization allowed for removing the POP_ELEMENT and adjust_stack functions. This adds a benchmark to measure how much slower multiple assignment is with the correct evaluation order. This benchmark shows: * 4-9% decrease for attribute sets * 14-23% decrease for array member sets * Basically same speed for local variable sets Importantly, it shows no significant difference between the popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is not needed) and !popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is needed) cases for attribute and array member sets. This indicates the previous optimization, which was dropped in the evaluation order fix and only affected the popped case, is not important to performance. Fixes [Bug #4443]

* Thread::Backtrace.limit, which returns the value to limit backtrace
length set by `--backtrace-limit` command line option, is added.
[[Feature #17479]]
* Time
* Time.new now accepts optional `in:` keyword argument for the
timezone, as well as `Time.at` and `Time.now`, so that is now
you can omit minor arguments to `Time.new`. [[Feature #17485]]
```ruby
Time.new(2021, 12, 25, in: "+07:00")
#=> 2021-12-25 00:00:00 +0700
```
At the same time, time component strings are converted to
integers more strictly now.
```ruby
Time.new(2021, 12, 25, "+07:00")
#=> invalid value for Integer(): "+07:00" (ArgumentError)
```

## Static analysis
2020-10-20 07:16:19 +03:00
### RBS
2020-09-25 11:08:39 +03:00
* Generics type parameters can be bounded ([PR](https://github.com/ruby/rbs/pull/844)).
```rbs
# `T` must be compatible with the `_Output` interface.
# `PrettyPrint[String]` is ok, but `PrettyPrint[Integer]` is a type error.
class PrettyPrint[T < _Output]
interface _Output
def <<: (String) -> void
end
attr_reader output: T
def initialize: (T output) -> void
end
```
* Type aliases can be generic. ([PR](https://github.com/ruby/rbs/pull/823))
```rbs
# Defines a generic type `list`.
type list[T] = [ T, list[T] ]
| nil
type str_list = list[String]
type int_list = list[Integer]
```
* [rbs collection](https://github.com/ruby/rbs/blob/master/docs/collection.md) has been introduced to manage gems RBSs.
2021-12-17 07:46:09 +03:00
* Many signatures for built-in and standard libraries have been added/updated.
2021-12-17 07:46:09 +03:00
* It includes many bug fixes and performance improvements too.
See the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/ruby/rbs/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for more information.
2020-10-20 07:16:19 +03:00
### TypeProf
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
* [Experimental IDE support](https://github.com/ruby/typeprof/blob/master/doc/ide.md) has been implemented.
* Many bug fixes and performance improvements since Ruby 3.0.0.
2021-10-20 04:18:54 +03:00
## Debugger
* A new debugger [debug.gem](https://github.com/ruby/debug) is bundled.
2021-12-15 19:24:31 +03:00
debug.gem is a fast debugger implementation, and it provides many features
like remote debugging, colorful REPL, IDE (VSCode) integration, and more.
2021-10-20 04:18:54 +03:00
It replaces `lib/debug.rb` standard library.
* `rdbg` command is also installed into `bin/` directory to start and control
debugging execution.
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
## error_highlight
A built-in gem called error_highlight has been introduced.
2021-12-15 19:24:31 +03:00
It shows fine-grained error locations in the backtrace.
Example: `title = json[:article][:title]`
If `json` is nil, it shows:
```
$ ruby test.rb
test.rb:2:in `<main>': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
title = json[:article][:title]
^^^^^^^^^^
```
If `json[:article]` returns nil, it shows:
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
```
$ ruby test.rb
test.rb:2:in `<main>': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
title = json[:article][:title]
^^^^^^^^
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
```
This feature is enabled by default.
2021-10-20 05:05:05 +03:00
You can disable it by using a command-line option `--disable-error_highlight`.
See [the repository](https://github.com/ruby/error_highlight) in detail.
## Miscellaneous changes
2021-01-02 10:42:45 +03:00
* lib/objspace/trace.rb is added, which is a tool for tracing the object
allocation. Just by requiring this file, tracing is started *immediately*.
Just by `Kernel#p`, you can investigate where an object was created.
Note that just requiring this file brings a large performance overhead.
2021-12-15 19:24:31 +03:00
This is only for debugging purposes. Do not use this in production.
2021-07-23 06:41:01 +03:00
[[Feature #17762]]
2021-01-02 10:42:45 +03:00
* Now exceptions raised in finalizers will be printed to `STDERR`, unless
`$VERBOSE` is `nil`. [[Feature #17798]]
* `ruby -run -e httpd` displays URLs to access. [[Feature #17847]]
* Add `ruby -run -e colorize` to colorize Ruby code using
`IRB::Color.colorize_code`.
