Description

I found a strange behavior of if in the following code.

def seems_bug(obj)
  if obj || obj
    obj = obj
  else
    raise obj.inspect
  end
  obj
end

seems_bug('foo')
#=> RuntimeError: "foo"

This code is expected to return "foo", but the error on the else clause occurs.

The same error occurs in the following code.

def seems_bug(obj)
  if obj || any1
    any2 = any2
  else
    raise obj.inspect
  end
  obj
end

seems_bug('foo')
#=> RuntimeError: "foo"
