Subject: [ruby-core:45135] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6449] new does not call allocate, as advertized


Issue #6449 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).


PS if you need something, tell us _why_ you need something.
In this case we prohibit (re)defining allocator beacuse we
believe redefining new should suffice all needs. If you
don't think so, please show the reason.

ruby 1.9.3p217 (2012-05-18 revision 35702) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0] (1.8 seems the same)

class C
  def self.allocate
    Kernel.exit(1)
  end
end

C.new # => <C:...

C.allocate # terminates process

Expected C.new call to invoke allocate, see here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/object.c#L1697
