Subject: [ruby-core:66758] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10582] String#chomp strips off more newlines than its documentation states

Issue #10582 has been updated by Hiroshi SHIBATA.


I merged https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/780

----------------------------------------
Bug #10582: String#chomp strips off more newlines than its documentation states
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10582#change-50345

* Author: Alex Boyd
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Zachary Scott
* Category: doc
* Target version: current: 2.2.0
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-12-04 trunk 48708) [x86_64-darwin14]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Given an empty string as its parameter, String#chomp strips off as many trailing newlines as are present, plus a preceding carriage return if one exists:

~~~
irb(main):001:0> "foo\n\n\n".chomp
=> "foo\n\n"
irb(main):002:0> "foo\n\n\n".chomp ''
=> "foo"
irb(main):003:0> "foo\r\n\n\n".chomp ''
=> "foo"
~~~

This should either be mentioned as part of String#chomp's documentation, or removed.
