Feature #5089: Even More Inadvertent Symbol Removal, And Fix Issue With Previous Code
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5089

Author: Jeremy Evans
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 


This is the third and hopefully final patch for removing inadvertent symbol creation.  It removes it from the following methods:
    
alias_method
autoload?
private_class_method
private_constant
private
protected
public
public_class_method
public_constant
remove_method
undef_method
untrace_var
    
It also removes it from const_get if an invalid constant name is used or const_missing has not been overridden.  If a valid constant name is used and const_missing has been overridden, then a symbol must be created so it can be passed to const_missing.

The second patch fixes the previous patches to handle the case where a non-String that implements to_str is passed to the methods.
