VirtualBox has a bug where the IPv6 route is lost on every other
configuration of a host-only network. This is also triggered when a VM
is booted.
To fix this, we test the route-ability of all IPv6 networks, and
reconfigure if necessary. This is very fast but we still only do this if
we have any IPv6 networks.
The problem demonstrated in #6065 is that a string has incorrectly been
encoded with US-ASCII even though it contains invalid US-ASCII byte
sequences (any byte with the most significant bit on is invalid in the
US-ASCII encoding).
The thing about doing newline normalization is that it is not actually
sensitive to the presence of US-ASCII byte sequenzes. Additionally, it
is very unlikely that a user will ever be using an encoding where \r\n
is not encoded the same as it would be in ASCII.
This patch first tries the existing method of normalizing the newlines
in the provided script file, if that fails for any reason it force
encodes the string to ASCII-8BIT (which allows the most significant bit
to be on in any individual byte) and then performs the substitution in
that byte space.
Here we implement a naive solution to #5605 which catches the case that
a provided source contains an object which cannot be inspected, because
an object contained within in has an #inspect string that returns a
string that is incompatible with the encoding in
`Encoding.default_external` or a string which cannot be downcast to
7-bit ascii.
The Ruby VM implementation of "#inspect" implements this checking on
these lines of code: http://git.io/vZYNS. A Ruby level override of
this method does not cause this problem. For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def inspect
"😍".encode("UTF-16LE")
end
```
will not cause the problem, because that's a Ruby implementation and the
VM's checks don't occur.
However, if we have an Object which **does** use the VM implementation
of inspect, that contains an object that has an inspect string which
returns non-ascii, we encounter the bug. For example:
```ruby
class Bar
def inspect
"😍".encode("UTF-16LE")
end
end
class Foo
def initialize
@bar = Bar.new
end
end
Foo.new.inspect
```
Will cause the issue.
The solution this patch provides basically catches the encoding error
and inserts a string which attempts to help the user work out which
object was provided without blowing up. Most likely, this was caused
by a user having a weird encoding coming out of one of the sources
passed in, but without a full repro case, it's not clear whether a patch
should be applied to a different object in the system.
Closes#5605.
