Segmentation faults when profiling Rails 3 controllers using ruby-prof

Reported by Evan | January 8th, 2011 @ 03:46 AM

Issue

ruby-prof produces segmentation faults when profiling Rails 3 controller actions that add new objects to the database using Ruby 1.9.2.

Troubleshooting/reduction

  • Created new, empty Rails 3.0.3 project. Added one resource with no attributes, methods. Added profiling of 1000 creates of the resource in ItemsController#index action.
  • Ran "rails server" using Ruby 1.9.2 p0. Loaded http://localhost:3000/items in browser. Server crashed with segmentation fault.
  • Ran "rails server" using Ruby 1.8.7 p302. Loaded same URI. Action executed without issue.
  • Repeated this test under different OS using same project files and Ruby 1.9.2 p0. Issue persisted.

System configuration

  • Ruby 1.9.2 p0
  • Rails 3.0.3
  • ruby-prof 0.9.2
  • Mac OS X 10.6.6

This will reopen the ticket for review. Likewise, if you feel that this is a very important feature for Rails to include, please reply with your explanation so we can consider it.

    Thank you for all your contributions, and we hope you will understand this step to focus our efforts where they are most helpful.
