Issue #15599 has been reported by akr (Akira Tanaka).

----------------------------------------
Bug #15599: Mixing autoload and require causes deadlock and incomplete definition.
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15599

* Author: akr (Akira Tanaka)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0dev (2019-02-11 trunk 67049) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I found that mixing autoload and require causes deadlock and incomplete definition.

```
% cat a.rb 
class A
  def a1() end
end
% cat base.rb 
autoload :A, './a'

t1 = Thread.new { p A.instance_methods(false) }
t2 = Thread.new { require './a' }

t1.join
t2.join
% ruby base.rb 
Traceback (most recent call last):

% ruby base.rb
[:a1]
% ruby base.rb
[]
```

The last run which prints [] means incomplete definition of A which a1 method is not defined.
