Issue #21032 has been reported by byroot (Jean Boussier).
----------------------------------------
Bug #21032: `Module#autoload?` is slow when `$LOAD_PATH` contains a relative path
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21032
* Author: byroot (Jean Boussier)
* Status: Open
* Backport: 3.1: WONTFIX, 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: REQUIRED
----------------------------------------
Reproduction script:
```ruby
require 'benchmark'
$LOAD_PATH << 'relative-path'
autoload :FOO, '/tmp/foo.rb'
puts Benchmark.realtime {
500_000.times do
Object.autoload?(:FOO)
end
}
```
The above takes 2.5 to 3 seconds on my machine, but just removing `$LOAD_PATH << 'relative-path'` make it complete in 50ms.
It's such a stark difference that I think it is a bug, and it cause Zeitwerk, a very popular gem, to be way slower than it should
when the load path contains relative paths.
I have a patch for it, that passes all tests, but I'd appreciate some eyes on it: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/12562

Issue #21032 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
For curiosity, what's adding a relative path in `$LOAD_PATH`? That sounds rather dubious/wrong.

Issue #21032 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).
I dug more into this today, based on @nobu's review. `autoload?` isn't the only thing slowed down in such case.
Perhaps we should try to emit a performance warning when a relative path or non-string object is appended to `$LOAD_PATH`. That would at least make it easier to notice this issue.
The problem of course is that `$LOAD_PATH` is just a regular array, so there isn't a clean hook where to check for this.

Right, that's just broken code. It would consider files under `lib` in $PWD for require which is wrong.

Maybe just warn on `require` or so, i.e. when noticing the path is relative, if it's too hard to notice when it's added?
I think there is also a cache for the expanded load path, maybe that could be a reasonable place to check.
It wouldn't immediately point at the culprit, but printing the $LOADED_FEATURES should help find it (maybe there should be a CLI flag/ENV var to print files as they are loaded, TruffleRuby has that).

Status changed from Open to Closed
I merged https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/12562 / d4a1a2780c39bc648496ac92fc6e6ce2eb38ab47 because I couldn't find any case where this would change behavior.
