[ruby-core:52488] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7615][Assigned] assignment to context variable changes the precedence order of function call with followed by ' (' (whitespace-bracket)

Issue #7615 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Subject changed from assignment to context variable changes the precedence order of function call with followed by ' (' (whitespace-bracket) to assignment to context variable changes the precedence order of function call with followed by ' (' (whitespace-bracket)
Status changed from Open to Assigned
Target version changed from 2.0.0 to next minor

Interesting, but I'm reluctant to fix this in 2.0.0 because it looks impractical and incompatible to 1.9.X.

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7615#change-36563

Author: snoble (Steven Noble)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Category: core
Target version: next minor
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-12-01 trunk 38126) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]


this is similar to http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/1801 but it wasn't pointed out then that ruby will use two different parsings at different times

note that in this code `a` and `b` have the same assignment code but are assigned different values
code:
def foo(x); 99; end
a = foo (44) / 11
foo = 99999999
b = foo (44) / 11
puts "a: #{a} b: #{b}" #output of "a: 99 b: 9"

The output of ruby_parser is:
s(:block, 
 s(:defn, :foo, s(:args, :x), s(:lit, 99)) 
 s(:lasgn, :a, s(:call, nil, :foo, s(:call, s(:lit, 44), :/, s(:lit, 11)))), 
 s(:lasgn, :foo, s(:lit, 999999999)), 
 s(:lasgn, :b, s(:call, s(:call, nil, :foo, s(:lit, 44)), :/, s(:lit, 11)))
)

observed in 1.9.4 and 2.0.0-preview2, but does not occur in 1.8.7
