First of all, I'd like to apologize because my bug report was
actually against Ruby 1.8.2, not 1.8.4. I should of been more
thorough and had my co-worker validate that his Ruby version was what
he claimed it was.
I have since upgraded my ruby: ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-
darwin8.4.0]
As it turns out:
puts Class.new {
def to_s
'no bug'
end
}.new
Will return 'no bug', as I intuitively expect, and so will the one-
liner:
puts Class.new { def to_s; 'no bug'; end }.new
But the do-end version:
puts Class.new do
def to_s
'no bug'
end
end.new
has the same error I originally reported, and so does the one-liner
version of the same:
puts Class.new do def to_s; 'no bug'; end; end.new
Unlike in 1.8.2, the one line versus multiline are consistent -- that
is good and intuitive.
Thanks, Stegan, for pointing me to the end of:
http://rake.rubyforge.org/files/doc/rakefile_rdoc.html
I'm not sure exactly what to think of this behavior (I have not
written my own parser ... so my expectation may be unrealistic)...
but it does not "feel right" to me, FWIW.
