Subject: [ruby-core:55675] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8565] Compiled Regexp comparation bug


Issue #8565 has been updated by cedric.brancourt (Cedric Brancourt).


Hopefully this is not a bug (or I think it is not).

When you create new regexp with :
%r"\/" and Regexp.new("\/") your quote are the delimiters

when you create regexp with slashes /\// the slashes (/) are your delimiters. Your regexp should end at the second / but fortunately you can escape this one with a backslash.
So your backslash is there used to escape the second one. This mean that your regexp /\// is equal to %r"/"

[6] pry(main)> /\// == %r"/"
=> true
