Subject: [ruby-core:53431] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8091] Class.new is not called when class is created using class keyword


Issue #8091 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


`new' is one of the ways to create an object, and most obvious probably, but not the only way.
For examples, string interpolation, File#open, Thread#start, and many.
`class' statement is just one of them.

=begin
When a class is created using ((|class|)) keyword, Class.new is not called but if class is created using ((|Class.new|)) it is obviously called, there seems to be a dyssymmetry between ((|class X|)) and ((|Class.new|)) e.g.

    class Class
      class << self
      alias new_orig new
      def new(*args)
        obj = new_orig *args
        print "created",obj,"\n"
        obj
      end
      end
    end

    class X
    end

It doesn't print anything, but Class.new does

=end
