Bug #9138: make initialize_copy private

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: zzak (zzak _)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 2.1.0dev

[zzak (zzak _)]

it was discussed with nobu that initialize_copy should be a private method, and any cases where it's public is considered a bug.

when i asked matz he said, it sounds good and ok to experiment with this change in trunk.

Going to postpone this until 2.2

Isn't initialize_copy already private (as it should be)?

ObjectSpace.each_object(Class).reject {|k| k.private_method_defined?(:initialize_copy)}
 # => [BasicObject]
