Three methods pass mrb_integer() a value that isn't known to be an Integer, so part of another object is read as one:

  • IO#ungetbyte treats any non-String as an Integer: ungetbyte(nil) pushes back "\x00", ungetbyte([0x41]) a byte of the Array, and :A and Object.new are accepted.
  • BasicSocket#setsockopt drops the value mrb_ensure_int_type() returns and reads the original, so Socket::SOL_SOCKET.to_f fails with EINVAL.
  • IO#gets drops the same conversion, so gets(5.0) raises TypeError instead of reading 5 bytes.

All three now use mrb_as_int(), which is what mrb_get_args() does for i. ungetbyte(nil) pushes nothing and returns nil, as in CRuby; a non-Integer, non-String argument raises TypeError. The new tests fail before (1 KO, 2 crashes) and pass after (2996 tests, 0 KO). Tested on Windows with llvm-mingw (clang 23), which needed two local MinGW build fixes that I'll send separately; not run on Linux.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of numeric-compatible values in byte pushback, read limits, and socket options. Float values can now be used as read limits and socket-option levels, while unsupported values continue to raise a type error.

Three methods hand mrb_integer() a value that is not known to be an
Integer, so the bits of some other object are read as one:

- IO#ungetbyte takes anything that is not a String as an Integer.
  ungetbyte(nil) pushes back "\x00", ungetbyte([0x41]) pushes back a
  byte of the Array, and :A or Object.new are accepted too.
- BasicSocket#setsockopt calls mrb_ensure_int_type() on the level and
  drops the converted value, then reads the original. A Float level
  such as Socket::SOL_SOCKET.to_f becomes an unrelated number and
  setsockopt(2) fails with EINVAL.
- IO#gets drops the result of the same conversion for a non-String
  first argument, so gets(5.0) raises TypeError ("Float cannot be
  converted to String") instead of reading up to 5 bytes.

Use mrb_as_int(), the conversion mrb_get_args() does for "i", in all
three. IO#ungetbyte(nil) now pushes nothing back and returns nil, as it
does in CRuby, and an object that is neither an Integer nor a String
raises TypeError.

Walkthrough

The changed IO and socket methods use mrb_as_int for the described argument conversions. Tests add coverage for Float arguments and for supported and unsupported IO#ungetbyte inputs.

Changes: Argument conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
IO argument conversion
mrbgems/mruby-io/src/io.c, mrbgems/mruby-io/test/io.rb
io_ungetbyte and io_gets use mrb_as_int for non-string arguments. Tests cover integer, string, nil, and unsupported inputs for ungetbyte, plus a Float limit for gets.
Socket option conversion
mrbgems/mruby-socket/src/socket.c, mrbgems/mruby-socket/test/basicsocket.rb
The three-argument setsockopt form uses mrb_as_int for so. A test passes a Float level and checks that SO_REUSEADDR is enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested labels: mrbgems

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e531c

The runtime changes look sound, but two new tests fail in the no-float test build. Guard both tests so they run only when Float is available before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the two gems changed (mruby-io and mruby-socket) and the core change, which is converting an argument with mrb_as_int before reading it as an Integer. The changeset does this in IO#ungetbyte, IO#gets, and BasicSocket#setsockopt, and adds tests for them. The title is specific and matches the main change in the changeset, so it passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Guard the Float assertion in no-float builds.

host-nofloat runs the mruby-io tests with MRB_NO_FLOAT. In that build, 5.0 becomes integer 0, and IO#gets(0) returns an empty string. Run this assertion only when Float is defined.

Guard the Float-only socket test.

host-nofloat enables tests and includes mruby-socket through stdlib-io. Under MRB_NO_FLOAT, Integer#to_f is unavailable, so this test can raise NoMethodError. Run it only when Float is available.

   s = UDPSocket.new
