From: matz@... Date: 2016-04-13T05:24:20+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:74918] [Ruby trunk Feature#11547] remove top-level constant lookup Issue #11547 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto. I am for this proposal, but also concern about code breakage. Let's try removing top-level constant look-up in 2.4dev and see how much code it breaks. Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11547: remove top-level constant lookup https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11547#change-58042 * Author: Corin Langosch * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- If ruby cannot find a class in the specified scope it uses the top-level constant of the same name if it exists and emits a warning: ~~~ irb(main):006:0> class Auth; end => nil irb(main):007:0> class Twitter; end => nil irb(main):008:0> Twitter::Auth (irb):8: warning: toplevel constant Auth referenced by Twitter::Auth => Auth ~~~ In some cases this is not playing nicely with rails autoloading as can be seen here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6931. Many more issues like this exist. Imo I don't see any reason why this fallback makes any sense. So I'd like to suggest to remove it completely or at least add an option to disable it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
