Description updated Status changed from Assigned to Closed 1.8 is dead. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1034: Ruby 1.8 evaluates block argument out of order from other arguments and receiver https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/1034#change-37640 Author: headius (Charles Nutter) Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: Target version: ruby -v: Ruby 1.8 =begin In Ruby 1.9 and all alternative impls I tested, block arguments are evaluated in the order they're encountered in a call. For example: a.foo(b, c, &d) The expected order would be left to right, a, then b, then c, then d. But Ruby 1.8 evaluates in the order d, a, b, c. In a case like the following (somewhat contrived) this would have odd side effects: x = 0 (x += 1; a).foo(x += 1, x += 1, &(x += 1, d)) In 1.8, the two non-block arguments would be 3, 4, while on Ruby 1.9 and other impls it would be 2, 3 as you'd expect. =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
