Subject: [ruby-core:19192] [Bug #345] 1.9 racc appears to seg fault

Issue #345 has been updated by Roger Pack.


Perhaps you can help me understand this -- so with StringIO you can't call an aliased constructor


require 'stringio'
class C < StringIO
 alias :old_init :initialize
 def initialize
   old_init
 end
end
C.new # fails

whereas with normal Ruby classes you can?


class A
 def initialize
   print 'A init'
 end
end
class B < A
 alias :old_init :initialize
 def initialize
   old_init
 end
end
B.new # succeeds

Thanks!
