Issue #7513 has been reported by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).

----------------------------------------
Bug #7513: TracePoint#enable/disable should not cause error
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7513

Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0

= Abstract

TracePoint#enable/disable should not cause error if it is enabled or disabled.

= Problem

The following code cause error because it calls "enable" on enabled tracepoint.

  trace = TracePoint.trace{}
  p trace.enabled? #=> true
  trace.enable #=> `enable': trace is already enable (RuntimeError)

However, similar feature "GC.enable" and "GC.disable" don't cause error.
They only return previous status.

= Solution

TracePoint#enable and disable should align GC.enable/disable.

  trace = TracePoint.trace{} # enable
  trace.enable # do nothing, and return true (enabled)
  trace.enable{
    ...
  } # after block, trace is still enable

Any comments?
