Subject: [ruby-core:62641] [ruby-trunk - Bug #4225] IO.foreach should only accept string arguments

Issue #4225 has been updated by Daniel Berger.


Still happening as of 2.1.2.

----------------------------------------
Bug #4225: IO.foreach should only accept string arguments
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4225#change-46777

----------------------------------------

 It looks like the IO.foreach method doesn't check its argument type first if no block is provided:
 
 fh = File.new('somefile.txt')
 
 IO.foreach(fh.fileno) # Or, IO.foreach(999999999)
 => #<Enumerable::Enumerator:0x110b0d4>
 
 IO.foreach(fh.fileno){ |line| p line }
 TypeError: can't convert Fixnum into String
 
 I'd flip these two lines in io.c:
 
 RETURN_ENUMERATOR(self, argc, argv);
 SafeStringValue(fname);
 
 Otherwise, what am I enumerating?
