Misc #18025

rb_iterate is obsolete since 1.9 but is not marked as deprecated for C compilers

Added by Eregon (Benoit Daloze) over 3 years ago. Updated over 3 years ago.


Description

Marked as obsolete in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/extension.rdoc#label-Control+Structure.

I think it would be a good to mark it as deprecated so the few places still using that migrate to e.g. rb_block_call().

These 2 places are still using rb_iterate():

Right now there is special logic inside rb_funcall()/vm_call0_body() to handle the block magically passed by rb_iterate(), and I think it would be good to clean that up once rb_iterate() is gone.

FYI, TruffleRuby is recently no longer doing that magic behavior for such an old deprecated method:
