Subject: [ruby-core:45581] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6578][Open] (Ruby 1.9.2-p290) Built-in JSON library fails if "Parser" is defined at top level

----------------------------------------
Bug #6578: (Ruby 1.9.2-p290) Built-in JSON library fails if "Parser" is defined at top level
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6578

Author: alexdowad (Alex Dowad)

Target version: 1.9.2

To duplicate:

    class Parser
    end
    require 'json'

The culprit is line 27 of common/json.rb:

    remove_const :Parser if const_defined? :Parser

#const_defined? returns true even if Parser is defined at the top level, not within JSON. In this case, #remove_const fails with an exception. A possible fix would be:

    remove_const :Parser if constants.include? :Parser
