Bug #2502

strange behavior of anonymous class inside a proc

Added by coatl (caleb clausen) over 14 years ago. Updated almost 13 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
-
ruby -v:
ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26040 [x86_64-linux]
Backport:
[ruby-core:27230]

Description

=begin
I have a problem in 1.9.1 when I run this code, extracted from a larger project:
$VERBOSE=1

class SubSeq
def initialize
@first=11
@first or fail
end

 def subseq 
   @first or fail
 end    

end

class Indexed
def subseq
SubSeq.new
end
end

Overlaid =proc do
p self
class<<self
def subseq
super.instance_eval(& Overlaid)
end
end
end

mid=Indexed.new
mid.instance_eval(&Overlaid)
mid.subseq
p mid
mid.subseq

The output I get is like this:
#Indexed:0x000000007a8930
#<SubSeq:0x000000007a7e78 @first=11>
#Indexed:0x000000007a8930
subseq_first_nil.rb:10: warning: instance variable @first not initialized
subseq_first_nil.rb:10:in subseq': unhandled exception from subseq_first_nil.rb:24:in subseq'
from subseq_first_nil.rb:33:in `'

This code should run without raising an exception, and does in ruby 1.8. The exception is raised from within the last line, the second call to mid.subseq. Both mid.subseq calls should behave exactly the same. The first appears to do all the right things. But in the second, it goes all awry. They should both call first the anonymous class's #subseq, then (via the super) Indexed#subseq, which ultimately returns a SubSeq object, also decorated by the anonymous class. SubSeq#subseq itself should never be called, but somehow (given the top line of the exception traceback and the warning) it is. SubSeq's @first should never be nil, since it is initialized in the constructor and never changed, but somehow it is.

This is the last remaining (serious) problem in porting redparse to 1.9. It causes redparse to incorrectly handle certain here documents which work fine when run in 1.8. I'd appreciate it very much of this problem can be fixed.

I've observed this in 1.9.1, but not 1.9.2.
