From: Thomas Sawyer Date: 2011-07-22T02:23:04+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:38352] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5067] BasicObject's constant lookup documentation Issue #5067 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer. But that was the main point of adding the documentation! And how can it be "half-baked"? What other solution is there? The documentation states that it is "if" you need to reference constant normally from within a basic object, then the solution is #cont_missing. Maybe it needs to be worded better, but that's the ONLY solution there is. Maybe you do not write DSL often, I work with them very often. Having known this upfront could have saved me many hours and days of headache. And saved me from reporting it as a bug. It sure seems like bug at first. But you and others have explained to me why it is not a bug. It only seems right to explain that in the documentation and to give the ONLY work around if it is needed. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5067: BasicObject's constant lookup documentation http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5067 Author: Shyouhei Urabe Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: DOC Target version: ruby -v: doesn't matter Take a look at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/31 . It's OK for me to merge this request -- no technical difficulties -- but is it a right thing to be documented? -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
