Subject: [ruby-core:43498] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6179] File::pos broken in Windows 1.9.3p125


Issue #6179 has been updated by daz (Dave B).


Please provide a short code example which demonstrates
how you're checking the condition.

Have you haven't coded something like:
"if pos = 12" instead of "if pos == 12"
which would accidentally set the file position?

Bug #6179: File::pos broken in Windows 1.9.3p125

ruby -v: 1.9.3p125


Calling the pos method on a File in the Windows version of Ruby on 1.9.3p125 moves the file pointer. Thus it can not be called without side effect.
