Subject: [ruby-core:47213] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6828] Constancy of Constants


Issue #6828 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


It's not that. It's the constant lookup:

  module Foo
    X = 1
    module Bar
      p X  #=> 1
    end
  end

  module Foo::Bar
    p X  #=> NameError
  end

Personally I would prefer undefined namespaces be automatically instantiated as modules. If that was not the intent another error will pick it up quickly enough anyway. But that's not the main issue --the constant lookup is the important thing.

Could have swore there was a recent issue addressing this, but couldn't find it, so...

I hope by Ruby 2.0

  module Foo::Bar::Baz

will be equivalent to

  module Foo; module Bar; module Baz

That constant lookup doesn't work the same for both is really really really annoying.
