[ruby-core:63184] [ruby-trunk - Feature #2509] Recursive freezing?

Issue #2509 has been updated by Shyouhei Urabe.


I agree.  Even if we allow a programmer to shoot themselves, they must be able to know what's going on when they do so.  If a collection cannot be frozen at once, that should be notified or detected somehow.

=begin
 I like freezing my constants, config files I read, etc... I believe it is the typical use case for #freeze.
 
 In all theses cases, what I really want to do is freeze everything. There is often no easy way to do this (e.g. for config files), or else one must explicitly call freeze a bunch of times, like:
 
 DEFAULT_SEND_FILE_OPTIONS = {
   :type         => 'application/octet-stream'.freeze,
   :disposition  => 'attachment'.freeze,
 }.freeze
 
 It would be very nice if there was an easy way to freeze recursively arrays, hashes, etc...
 
 A solution would be for #freeze to accept a level argument (similar to flatten, but the default being 1), or alternatively a boolean one (recursive = false). 
 
 Should I write a patch for this feature request?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Marc-Andr辿
