[ruby-core:54868] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8377] Deprecate :: for method calls in 2.1

From: "dgutov (Dmitry Gutov)" <dgutov@...>
Date: 2013-05-08 14:42:29 UTC
List: ruby-core #54868
Issue #8377 has been updated by dgutov (Dmitry Gutov).


+1

"::" method call syntax has no advantages over ".", and it should be relatively simple to search through any codebase and convert the instances of using the former into the latter automatically.
----------------------------------------
Feature #8377: Deprecate :: for method calls in 2.1
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8377#change-39203

Author: charliesome (Charlie Somerville)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: current: 2.1.0


=begin
(({::})) is usually a constant lookup operator, but it can also be used to call methods. This can confusing to people learning Ruby.

I propose deprecating (({::})) as a method call operator in Ruby 2.1, then removing it in 2.2 (or whichever version comes after 2.1).

As part of the deprecation, Ruby's parser should emit a warning whenever (({::})) is used as a method call operator. This warning should be emitted even if (({-w})) is not enabled.
