Feature #13984

closed

BigDecimal should be immutable/frozen and return itself on #dup

Added by Eregon (Benoit Daloze) about 7 years ago. Updated almost 6 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:

[ruby-core:83168]

Description

Currently, BigDecimal instances are not frozen, and supports #dup by returning a new instance.

In the spirit of #12979 and #13983, I think BigDecimal instances should always be frozen.
Then BigDecimal#dup/clone should just return the same instance.

I decided to make a BigDecimal is frozen and remove dup-support.
But it introduces incompatibilities, so during Ruby 2.5 period, I'll make them deprecated and issue warning messages.
