Issue #6123 has been reported by Vit Ondruch.

----------------------------------------
Bug #6123: Properly gemify BigDecimal
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6123

Author: Vit Ondruch
Status: Open
Priority: Normal

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [x86_64-linux]


BigDecimal is available as a gem, however, the version in Ruby is crippled. It just tries to mimic gems, but it is not gem. So currently:

$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true

However, I would expect following behavior:

$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
fail

The point is that the bigdecimal.so is still in Ruby's load path, although it should be managed by RubyGems if it is gem. Moreover, if the independent gem in RubyGems.org would be updated, it will never be used. Please consider fixing it.
