Issue #17493 has been reported by rsharman (Richard Sharman).
----------------------------------------
Bug #17493: Calling Reline::Unicode.calculate_width appears to lock up when called from emacs or if output is redirected
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17493
* Author: rsharman (Richard Sharman)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.0.0p0 (2020-12-25 revision 95aff21468) [x86_64-darwin17]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
In https://github.com/ruby/reline/pull/224 there is a test program
```
require "reline"
p Reline::Unicode.calculate_width("√")
```
as a test case for bug #17405. This program hangs when called from an emacs shell.
The problem is that cursor_pos in reline/ansi.rb outputs ESC [ 6 n and expects to be able read in raw mode the cursor position. This doesn't work when ruby is invoked from a shell inside emacs.
```

#7 /Users/richard/rubystuff/bugs/cursor_pos/test.rb:4
```
Even when run from an actual terminal, a similar problem occurs if stdout is redirected:
```
$ ruby test2.rb > T
```
The program appears to have locked up at this point; pressing Control-C will not terminate it.
Is it valid for a routine that calculates a character's width to assume that stdin is actually an ANSI sequence compatible terminal?
(This also occurs with ruby version 2.7.2p137.)

Issue #17493 has been updated by rsharman (Richard Sharman).
File Patch added
Another way the problem can happen is displaying an EN DASH character, such as in a CSV file produced by LibreOffice.
When a shell is running inside emacs, including the case of running inf-ruby, ANSI sequences are not honoured. In most cases this is harmless; however, in routine cursor_pos it causes problems because it expects to read back characters indicating the cursor position.
A simple fix is to disable this by setting Reline::IOGate to Reline::GeneralIO if the environment variable TERM is set to "dumb", as it in inside emacs; see file Patch.

Issue #17493 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).
The provided patch appears to only affect Windows, but I confirmed the problem also happens on OpenBSD. Presumably it happens on other operating systems too. I added a similar fix of using GeneralIO for the non-Windows case, and submitted a pull request to reline for it: https://github.com/ruby/reline/pull/285
