Hello Rainbows,

I was trying to `use :CoolioFiberSpawn` with `Rainbows.sleep`
to simulate asynchrony HTTP requests. However, I keep seeing
weird "app error: uninitialized fiber (FiberError)".

I spent a few hours (ouch) tracking down to a simple case.
Suppose I have a Rack app which has `Rainbows.sleep`
inside a each block:
https://gist.github.com/1536857 (I am running Ruby 1.9.3)

class Weird
  def call env=nil
    [1].each{ # if you comment out the each block, then it works
      Rainbows.sleep 2
    }
    [200, {}, ["ok\n"]]
  end
end

Then `run Weird.new` would always cause

    app error: uninitialized fiber (FiberError)

But if I took out the each block
inside Weird#call, such like:

class Weird
  def call env=nil
    Rainbows.sleep 2
    [200, {}, ["ok\n"]]
  end
end

Then it works fine. Moreover, if I run the app like this:

    run lambda{ |env| Weird.new.call }

Then both with or without the each block would work.

Could you please explain this for me? Or is it a bug somewhere?
Thanks!!

This looks like a Ruby bug, possibly related to combining Fibers with
fork()...

Can you reproduce this with zbatery?  (zbatery is Rainbows!, without fork()),
just s/rainbows/zbatery/ in the command-line).

This may be related to https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5700

Thanks for the quick response.

I can reproduce this under zbatery as well, so I guess this is
not related to fork()? My ruby and gem versions:

ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]
zbatery (4.1.2)
rainbows (4.3.1)
unicorn (4.1.1)
cool.io (1.1.0)

I am not sure if I should be happy if this is really a ruby's bug.
I thought I just couldn't figure out how do fibers work, looking
through a lot of sources and doing a lot of experiments.

It may be an issue with LLVM/GCC on your platform, I've seen
several issues on the ruby-core list related to that setup.

Maybe recompiling Ruby (and all extensions) with a non-LLVM
version of GCC will solve this.

Can you reproduce the issue on a GNU/Linux system?
I cannot support non-Free platforms, anyways.

I'll try to recompile Ruby (and all extensions) tomorrow. (I really need to
sleep now) It seems now Apple does not provide a non-LLVM GCC now.
My /usr/bin/gcc is a link to llvm-gcc-4.2.

I should have thought this. Just tried on my Arch Linux:
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-linux]
I can't reproduce that on the machine.

That's a good news. We're deploying to Linux anyway.
Thanks!

(I am not sure how to narrow this down further to file a
bug on Ruby's issue tracker. Maybe I'll just show them
what I have now)

Just want to let you know, after trying GCC 4.6 without LLVM
involved and reinstalling all binary extensions, I can no longer
reproduce this.

What's amazing is, when I switch back to the old Ruby which
is compiled with Apple's llvm-gcc, I can't reproduce that either!

O_o

Maybe it's restarting the computer would really solve everything,
or I just did something wrong somewhere... Then I guess I shouldn't
file a bug for this.

Thanks for your help!
