Bug #20817
openRuby 3.4.0dev emits `warning: possibly useless use of + in void context` while Ruby 3.3.5 does not
Description
Ruby 3.4.0dev emits warning: possibly useless use of + in void context
while Ruby 3.3.5 does not
This issue is based on Rails Action Pack test case against Ruby 3.4.0dev.
Here is the minimum script to reproduce it.
Steps to reproduce¶
- Create a sample foo.rb file
class C
class_eval "def throw_syntax_error; eval %(
'abc' + pluralize 'def'
); end", "lib/file.rb", 42
end
c = C.new
c.throw_syntax_error
- Run this foo.rb using Ruby 3.4.0dev
Expected behavior¶
It should report SyntaxError, but it shoud not emit any warnings as Ruby 3.3.5 does not.
$ ruby -v
ruby 3.3.5 (2024-09-03 revision ef084cc8f4) [x86_64-linux]
$ ruby -w foo.rb
lib/file.rb:42:in `eval': (eval at lib/file.rb:42):2: syntax error, unexpected string literal, expecting `do' or '{' or '(' (SyntaxError)
'abc' + pluralize 'def'
^
from lib/file.rb:42:in `throw_syntax_error'
from foo.rb:7:in `<main>'
Actual behavior¶
It reports It should SyntaxError and it emits the warning: possibly useless use of + in void context
$ ruby -v

Using parse.y parser works as Ruby 3.3.5 does. No warnings emitted.

This seems the case that the recovery works wrongly.
When no syntax error, also the "useless use" warning occurs inside eval
.
Not in eval
, the warning is emitted regardless the syntax error.
