Bug #2281: Class#inherited Produces Misleading Error Message

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
• Target version: 1.9.2
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-10-25 trunk 25456) [i686-linux]

=begin
$ cat -n /tmp/inherited.rb
1 def Object.inherited
2 end
3
4 class C
5 end
$ ruby -vw /tmp/inherited.rb
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-10-25 trunk 25456) [i686-linux]
/tmp/inherited.rb:4:in `': wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) (ArgumentError)

If this scenario must raise an exception, could it report the line number of the inherited hook's definition and, preferably, the hook's name? It is undesirable for class definitions to be fatal. (I realise that this problem can be generalised to other callbacks).
