Subject: [ruby-core:72822] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11980] External methods are appearing as instance methods for String

Issue #11980 has been updated by Daniel P. Clark.


Those results were from IRB.  Here's my results from a Ruby script.

"test_scope_creep.rb"

~~~ruby
puts "".methods.count
puts defined? "".a
def a
  "foo"
end
puts "".methods.count
puts defined? "".a
puts String.private_method_defined? :a
puts String.instance_method(:a).owner
puts [].send :a
puts Array.private_method_defined? :a
puts Array.instance_method(:a).owner
puts [].send :a
~~~

Output:

~~~
170

170

true
Object
foo
true
Object
foo
~~~

It appears they are defined as private methods when run via `ruby` and in `irb` they run like they're not private methods.

----------------------------------------
It appears we're having methods creep into the String scope.

~~~ruby
"".methods.count
# => 170

defined? "".a
# => nil

def a
 "foo"
end

"".methods.count
# => 171

defined? "".a
# => "method"

"bar".a
# => "foo"
