Issue #16265 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L).


PR https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2718 shows this issue, and also properly updates MSYS/MinGW gcc.

Bug #16265: Test (spec) failure using current MSYS2 tools, related to -fstack-protector and possibly D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16265#change-82932

* Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0dev (2019-10-19T08:19:27Z master 1d435bd51a) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
GH PR https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2573 was a work-around that forced using some non-current MSYS2 packages libraries for building.  These libraries are only available on Appveyor because their images are out-of-date, a new MSYS2 install would not have them.

Using current MSYS2 libraries requires adding '-fstack-protector' to LDFLAGS.  I also experimented with adding 'D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' to CFLAGS.

Ruby build/compiles with those flags added.  test-all passes.  But spec tests always lock up when running:
```
C-API Thread function rb_thread_call_without_gvl
- runs a C function with the global lock unlocked
- runs a C function with the global lock unlocked amd unlocks IO with the generic RUBY_UBF_IO
```

The tests are in spec/ruby/optional/capi/thread_spec.rb, as shown:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/1d435bd51aeca75f6e437bc92de2271a716a1ced/spec/ruby/optional/capi/thread_spec.rb#L124-L141

and the freeze occurs on line 137.

I've run this once in ruby-loco, twice in my ruby fork, and several times locally.  In all runs, test-all passed, and spec stopped at the test above.  This uses gcc 9.2.0, and the problem would occur with anyone doing a 'fresh' install of MSYS2.

Not being a c type, this is way beyond what I can fix.  Happy to try patches, etc.  Thanks, Greg
