[ruby-core:75488] [Ruby trunk Bug#12370] require 'mkmf' changes Object#respond_to? behaviour

Issue #12370 has been updated by Daniel Ferreira.


In this situation we have Module#public_method_defined? returning different things for classes and modules which makes sense from its definition where it gets all ancestors when called in a class.
Ex:

``` ruby
$ irb
> require 'mkmf'
> String.respond_to?(:configuration)
 => true
> String.public_method_defined?(:configuration)
 => true
> Enumerable.respond_to?(:configuration)
 => true
> Enumerable.public_method_defined?(:configuration)
 => false
```

----------------------------------------
Bug #12370: require 'mkmf' changes Object#respond_to? behaviour

* 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
```
