Bug #2224: lib/delegate: operator delegation

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)
• Target version: 1.9.2
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-10-17 trunk 25379) [x86_64-darwin10.0.0]

=begin
The operators ==, =~, !~ are forwarded by Delegate. I presume the operators != and ~, new in 1.9, have simply been forgotten?

As for eql? and hash, this is probably intentional. I am still curious as to why, since this can yield surprising results (at least to me):

a = "foo"
a1 = SimpleDelegator.new(a)
a2 = a1.dup
h = {}
h[a] = :bar
h[a1] = :bar
h[a2] = :bar
h # ==> {"foo"=>:bar, "foo"=>:bar, "foo"=>:bar}

Hi,

Agreed. Yugui, do you permit to fix this?

As for eql? and hash, this is probably intentional. I am still curious as to why, since this can yield surprising results (at least to me):

Me too. Matz, is this really intentional?

I wrote a patch, but I cannot anticipate the impact.
At least, make check and make test-rubyspec seem to pass.
