From: Andrew Grimm Date: 2010-07-31T10:22:19+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:31558] [Bug #3634] irb -d does not set $VERBOSE to true Bug #3634: irb -d does not set $VERBOSE to true http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3634 Author: Andrew Grimm Status: Open, Priority: Normal Target version: 1.9.2 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-07-30 revision 28788) [x86_64-darwin10.2.0] Thanks to feature #1832, irb -w sets $VERBOSE to true. However, this did not update irb -d to setting $VERBOSE to true. If irb -w sets $VERBOSE to true, and ruby -d sets $VERBOSE (as well as $DEBUG) to true, then irb -d should set $VERBOSE (as well as $DEBUG) to true. Attached is a patch that should set $VERBOSE to true for "irb -d" (I haven't tested it myself). I did not add any unit tests because I couldn't find an equivalent of test/ruby/test_parse.rb for irb. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
