[ruby-core:75480] [Ruby trunk Bug#12370][Closed] require 'mkmf' changes Object#respond_to? behaviour

Issue #12370 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Status changed from Open to Closed

`Module#public_method_defined?` is for instance methods.
`Object#respond_to?` is for its own methods.
They have no relationship.

----------------------------------------
Bug #12370: require 'mkmf' changes Object#respond_to? behaviour 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12370#change-58600

* Author: Daniel Ferreira
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: 2.3.0
* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Replication steps:

``` ruby
$ irb
> RUBY_VERSION
=> '2.3.0'
> require 'yaml'
> YAML.public_method_defined?(:configuration)
=> false
> YAML.respond_to?(:configuration)
=> false
> require 'mkmf'
> YAML.public_method_defined?(:configuration)
=> false
> YAML.respond_to?(:configuration)
=> true
```

``` ruby
Object.constants do |constant|
  constant.respond_to?(:configuration) ==> true
end
```

Also there is a different behaviour for core classes over library or gem classes and/or modules under Object namespace.

The changed behaviour is triggered by:

mkmf.rb:2718 => 

``` ruby
include MakeMakefile
```
