Subject: [ruby-core:43457] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4523] Kernel#require to return the path of the loaded file


Issue #4523 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).


If you have two files with the same name isn't `gem which --all` enough to discover the collision?

=begin
It's very useful to be able to tell which actual file on disc was loaded following a call to require, without having to manually traverse $LOAD_PATH. This information is also not guaranteed to be in $LOADED_FEATURES.

The attached patch alters rb_require_safe's return value to indicate the loaded file iff a file is actually loaded.
