Does it look ok? Does it work well for zip? I wonder how arguments are rewound. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7696: Lazy enumerators with state can't be rewound https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7696#change-35481 Author: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune) Status: Open Priority: High Assignee: Category: core Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: r38800 The 4 lazy enumerators requiring internal state, i.e. {take|drop}{_while}, don't work as expected after a couple `next` and a call to `rewind`. For example: e=(1..42).lazy.take(2) e.next # => 1 e.next # => 2 e.rewind e.next # => 1 e.next # => StopIteration: iteration reached an end, expected 2 This is related to #7691; the current API does not give an easy way to handle state. Either there's a dedicated callback to rewind, or data must be attached to the yielder. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
