From: eregontp@... Date: 2021-01-01T12:48:29+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:101853] [Ruby master Feature#17490] Rename RubyVM::MJIT to RubyVM::JIT Issue #17490 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). FYI, I filed #17500 regarding RubyVM. I think `ExperimentalFeatures::JIT` would be fine if we accept that issue, and e.g. other Rubies might implement `ExperimentalFeatures::JIT.enabled?` then, which makes sense to me. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17490: Rename RubyVM::MJIT to RubyVM::JIT https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17490#change-89690 * Author: k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- ## Background In my understanding, MJIT is a codename like YARV which many people outside Ruby community are not familiar with, so I've used JIT in NEWS or release notes to avoid explaining the "M" part whenever we release a new version. However, because we have the name "MJIT" in one of our constants, we've had some naming inconsistency. For instance, --jit is not --mjit and it's not consistent. ## Proposal Have the same constant as `RubyVM::JIT`, deprecate `RubyVM::MJIT` from Ruby 3.1, and remove the old one in Ruby 3.2. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
