Issue #6990 has been updated by luislavena (Luis Lavena).


=begin
I can confirm that after reaching 1.9GB of RAM usage, it fails with:

 "7e7e6cb0"
 C:/Users/Worker/Code/ruby-2.0.0-r36949-x64-mingw32/lib/ruby/2.0.0/securerandom.rb:116:in `random_bytes': unknown error -
  CryptGenRandom failed: The parameter is incorrect. (SystemCallError)
         from a.rb:7:in `block in <main>'
         from a.rb:11:in `loop'
         from a.rb:11:in `<main>'

I'm applying the patch now and doing a build to confirm.

Bug #6990: test_s_random_bytes_without_openssl error on Windows x64

TestSecureRandom sometimes has an error on ci.rubyinstaller.

 3) Error:
 test_s_random_bytes_without_openssl(TestSecureRandom):
 SystemCallError: unknown error - CryptGenRandom failed: The parameter is incorrect.

This error seems to occur only on x64.

I guess the following scenario.

Pointer size of @hProv seems limited to 32bit with x64 ruby.
If the pointer value was larger than 32bit max, it would fail.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/lib/securerandom.rb#L106

I don't get the error at test-all on my local box, but I can get same error with the following script.
It takes long time to get the error.


 require "openssl"
 OpenSSL.send(:remove_const, :Random)
 require "securerandom"
 
 i = 0
 loop do
   SecureRandom.random_bytes
   SecureRandom.send(:remove_instance_variable, :@has_win32)
   p SecureRandom.send(:instance_variable_get, :@hProv).to_s(16) if (i % 10000) == 0
   i += 1
 end


I attached a patch. I also fixed encoding error which occurs if error message contains Japanese characters.
