I think calling `Module.allocate` in user code makes no sense, so that approach seems a good way to me. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17048: Calling initialize_copy on live modules leads to crashes https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17048#change-86743 * Author: alanwu (Alan Wu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 2.8.0dev (2020-07-23T14:44:25Z master 098e8c2873) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Here's a repro script ```ruby loop do m = Module.new do prepend Module.new def hello end end klass = Class.new { include m } m.send(:initialize_copy, Module.new) GC.start klass.new.hello rescue nil end ``` Here's a script that shows that it has broken semantics even when it happens to not crash. ```ruby module A end class B include A end module C Const = :C end module D Const = :D end A.send(:initialize_copy, C) p B::Const # :C, makes sense A.send(:initialize_copy, D) p B::Const # :D, makes sense A.send(:initialize_copy, Module.new) p (begin B::Const rescue NameError; 'NameError' end) # NameError, makes sense A.send(:initialize_copy, C) p B::Const # still NameErorr. Weird ``` This example shows that the problem exists [as far back as 2.0.0](https://wandbox.org/permlink/4dVDY9sNXJ803jh8). I think the easiest way to fix this is to forbid calling `:initialize_copy` on modules that have children. Another option is to try to decide on the semantics of this. Though I don't think it's worth the effort as this has been broken for a long time and people don't seem to to be using it. Thoughts? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
