Subject: [ruby-core:53152] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6151] ArgumentError of lambda shows wrong location


Issue #6151 has been updated by TylerRick (Tyler Rick).


I agree, @trans, this is a very surprising behavior. I was expecting instance_eval to call the block I passed to it without any args. Since self is already implicitly available from the block, I just don't understand why instance_eval would yield self as an argument.

Fortunately, I think instance_exec <http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/BasicObject.html#method-i-instance_exec> does what we are wanting so I'm using it instead.

We should update the documentation. http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/BasicObject.html#method-i-instance_eval does not mention that it yields self as the first argument.

Perhaps there is a reason, but it sure seems like a bug to me. Given this simple class:

      #
      class BlockParser < BasicObject
        def initialize(data={}, &block)
          @data = data
          instance_eval(&block)
        end

        def method_missing(name, *args, &block)
          if block
            @data[name] = {}
            BlockParser.new(@data[name], &block)
          else
            case args.size
            when 0
              @data[name]
            when 1
              @data[name] = args.first
            else
              @data[name] = args
            end
          end
        end
      end

Then we can do:

      data = {}
      BlockParser.new(data) do
        name 'Tommy'
      end
      data #=> {:name=>'Tommy'}

But,

      data = {}
      blk  = lambda do
        name 'Tommy'
      end
      BlockParser.new(data, &blk)
      ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
      	from (irb):44:in `block in irb_binding'
      	from (irb):16:in `instance_eval'
      	from (irb):16:in `initialize'
      	from (irb):46:in `new'
      	from (irb):46
      	from /home/trans/.rbfu/rubies/1.9.3-p0/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

If I use (({Proc.new})) instead of (({lambda})) it works. But since I am using (({#instance_eval})) to evaluate the Proc, that shouldn't matter.

Note the reported line number of the error corresponds to (({name 'Tommy'})).
