The file is:
./spec/frozen/language/return_spec.rb
I don't know how to describe which one other than the first describe
that starts "in a Thread"
Currently it does:
The return keyword in a Thread
- raises a LocalJumpError if used to exit a threadSEGV recieved in
SEGV handler
unknown: [BUG] Segmentation fault

Hi Perry,
Which spec are you talking about specifically?

The spec says that a 'return' from a thread should raise a
LocalJumpError.
Looking at the code for RETURN_NODE in compiler.cpp, the question
of "Is this a thread" is never asked. And, I guess this exception
is only for the top level block of the thread since a function
called from the block could do a return.
I looked briefly at the Thread create process and I didn't see
anything that flagged the block passed as the top level block for
the thread.
The testcase causes a segmentation fault. I looked at the signal
handler too and it appears as if it is "lets do this for now and
address it later" code. The SEGV fault handler simply sets a flag
and returns. The return will put us back where we were just at so
we immediately seg fault again and then we do an exit -- with no
core file.
I don't see the value of catching SEGV in the first place unless
the underlying Ruby code has asked us to do that. I think that
would generally apply to all signals.
