Same as #7713, for mruby-socket. setsockopt and getsockopt cast level and optname with (int), and the same cast sits on the flags of send, recv and recvfrom, shutdown's how, Addrinfo#getnameinfo's flags, Socket::Option.int's value and the arguments of Socket._socket, _bind, _connect, _listen and _accept. On a 64-bit mrb_int, s.setsockopt((1 << 32) + Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_REUSEADDR, true) set the option on SOL_SOCKET.

These now raise RangeError, as the getaddrinfo hints do. setsockopt also packed an Integer or true/false optval as an mrb_int, which the OS reads as an int; on a big-endian host that is the upper half. It now packs an int.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Socket operations now reject integer arguments that exceed the supported range with a RangeError, rather than silently narrowing them. This applies to socket options, sending and receiving data, shutdown, socket creation, file descriptors, and address information.
    • Ordinary socket-option values continue to work, and a socket can still receive queued data after an oversized receive flag is rejected.

setsockopt and getsockopt cast level and optname with (int), and the same cast
sits on the flags of send, recv and recvfrom, on shutdown's how, on
Addrinfo#getnameinfo's flags, on Socket::Option.int's value and on the
arguments of Socket._socket, _bind, _connect, _listen and _accept. On a 64-bit
mrb_int, s.setsockopt((1 << 32) + Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_REUSEADDR, true)
set the option on SOL_SOCKET, and s.send("x", (1 << 32) + 1) sent with flags 1.

Raise RangeError instead, as mruby#7713 and the getaddrinfo hints do, and as CRuby
does for these values.

setsockopt also packed an Integer or true/false optval as an mrb_int. The OS
reads an int from it, which on a big-endian host is the upper half, so these
options were set to 0. Pack an int.

Walkthrough

Socket integer arguments now use a range-checking conversion before conversion to C int. Tests cover oversized values across socket APIs and verify ordinary socket-option behavior.

Changes: Socket Integer Range Checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Socket-option integer conversion
mrbgems/mruby-socket/src/socket.c, mrbgems/mruby-socket/test/basicsocket.rb
A helper checks whether mrb_int values fit in C int when mrb_int is wider. Socket-option encoding and level and option arguments use this helper. Tests cover oversized values and ordinary boolean socket-option round-trips.
Socket data and shutdown arguments
mrbgems/mruby-socket/src/socket.c, mrbgems/mruby-socket/test/basicsocket.rb
Receive, send, and shutdown arguments use checked conversions. Tests cover oversized flags and confirm queued data can be read after an oversized receive flag is rejected.
Socket creation and descriptor arguments
mrbgems/mruby-socket/src/socket.c, mrbgems/mruby-socket/test/basicsocket.rb
Socket creation, descriptor operations, and address-info flags use checked conversions. Tests cover oversized arguments to these APIs.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested labels: mrbgems

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 7433d

Oversized socket-option values produce the wrong exception on supported Bigint builds, and the new test fails there. Correct the integer dispatch before merging.

Explanation

The title names the main change: mruby-socket now range-checks Integer arguments before narrowing them to a C int, raising RangeError for out-of-range values. The raw summary and PR objectives both describe this change, including socket_int, the RangeError behavior, and the setsockopt int packing. The title is concise, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 88.24% which is sufficient. 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 17 functions across 2 files.

Accept Bignum option values before checking their range.

On a 32-bit mrb_int build with MRB_USE_BIGINT, 1 << 32 is a Bignum. The existing mrb_integer_p(optval) condition rejects that value before the new socket_int call at Line 843. setsockopt therefore raises ArgumentError, not the RangeError required by the new test at mrbgems/mruby-socket/test/basicsocket.rb Line 49. Include Bignums in the integer branch and reject values outside C int before encoding them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
