From: "rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)" <rr.rosas@...> Date: 2013-07-04T02:33:33+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:55786] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8600] Recognize variables declared in if modifier at end of line Issue #8600 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas). Or maybe because it would be too complex to change the parser to support that? Now I'm not sure about the reasons... ---------------------------------------- Feature #8600: Recognize variables declared in if modifier at end of line https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8600#change-40280 Author: rudolph9 (Kurt Rudolph) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: next minor (({2.0.0 (main):0 > .ruby -v ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0] 2.0.0 (main):0 > ([0,1,2])[i] = 1.0 if i = ['seconds'].find_index('seconds') NameError: undefined local variable or method `i' for main:Object from (pry):1:in `__pry__'})) Is it possible to get rid of this kind of error? Especially since it doesn't matter what the value of the variable is so long as it's defined. (({2.0.0 (main):0 > i = 10000 => 10000 2.0.0 (main):0 > ([0,1,2])[i] = 1.0 if i = ['seconds'].find_index('seconds') => 1.0})) -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
