Module#autoload No Longer Raises where 1.8 Does

Added by runpaint (Run Paint Run Run) over 15 years ago. Updated over 13 years ago.

Status:
Rejected
Target version:
ruby -v:
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-08 trunk 23995) [i686-linux]
Backport:
[ruby-core:24213]

Description

=begin
There has been a change between 1.8 and 1.9 with Module#autoload when the autoloaded file doesn't declare the named class and the module is already open:

$ cat /tmp/autoload.rb
module Autoload
end
module Autoload
class W
autoload :Y, "/tmp/empty_file.rb"

   class Y
   end
 end

end

$ ruby86 -vw /tmp/autoload.rb
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i686-linux]
/tmp/autoload.rb:7: uninitialized constant Autoload::W::Y (NameError)

$ ruby -vw /tmp/autoload.rb
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-08 trunk 23995) [i686-linux]

nobu's post in [ruby-core:19129] suggests that 1.8 is correct here. Is the 1.9 behaviour a bug?
