[ruby-core:54245] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6693][Closed] Don't warn for unused variables starting with _

From: "marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)" <ruby-core@...>
Date: 2013-04-12 21:23:19 UTC
List: ruby-core #54245
Issue #6693 has been updated by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).

Status changed from Feedback to Closed


----------------------------------------
Feature #6693: Don't warn for unused variables starting with _
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6693#change-38509

Author: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)
Status: Closed
Priority: Low
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: core
Target version: next minor


Currently, variables which are set but not used will generate a warning (ruby -w), except if they have the special name "_".

So best practice is to use "_" for all unused variables. This does not encourage readable code.

    # Currently must read:
    _, _, _, suffix = parse_name

    # could read:
    _first, _middle, _last, suffix = parse_name

We should not warn for unused variables starting with a "_".

This would create an option (but no obligation) to use more descriptive names than "_" without generating warnings.
