Bug #11860

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 8 years ago

When an empty hash is given as a literal, the double splat operates on it, and leaves nothing, which is expected. 

 ```ruby 
 

     class String 
   
       def foo; end 
 
     end 

 

     [**{}] # => [] 
 
     "foo".foo(**{}) # => nil 
 
     "foo".send(**{}) # => nil 
 ``` 

 However, when an empty hash is given via variable, the double splat retains an empty hash in place. 

 ```ruby 
 

     h = {} 

 

     [**h] # => [{}] 
 
     "foo".foo(**h) # => wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) 
 
     "foo".send(**h) # => wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) 
 ```
