From: "alanwu (Alan Wu) via ruby-core" Date: 2025-11-07T22:45:35+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:123727] [Ruby Bug#21652] Marshal#dump documentation out-of-date/unclear regarding Data class Issue #21652 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu). Backport changed from 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: REQUIRED to 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: DONE ruby_3_4 commit:badb3600093ed5df2c64bc257b5cb3a149a88189 ---------------------------------------- Bug #21652: Marshal#dump documentation out-of-date/unclear regarding Data class https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21652#change-115113 * Author: ryannevell (Ryan Nevell) * Status: Closed * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED, 3.4: DONE ---------------------------------------- With the introduction of the `Data` class in Ruby 3.2, the `Marshal#dump` documentation is confusing since it claims that "Marshal can���t dump ... an instance of ... Data". It is even cross-linked to the new `Data` class. However, and thankfully, `Marshal#dump` does not have any issues serializing instances of `Data` or objects of the defined `Data` types. This message predates the introduction of the `Data` class, and likely refers to wrapped C data (`T_DATA`), instead. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
