[ruby-core:78507] [Ruby trunk Bug#13005][Open] Inline rescue is inconsistent when rescuing NoMethodError

Issue #13005 has been updated by Martin D端rst.

Status changed from Closed to Open
Assignee set to Yukihiro Matsumoto

@matz: Is there a good reason that `o.a = 1 rescue $!.class` is interpreted as `o.a = (1 rescue $1.class)`, while it looks to me as if `o.a = 1 if $!.class` is `(o.a = 1) if $!.class`?

(Backwards compatibility might be a reasonable good reason, but I can't imagine it being useful.)

```ruby

class << o
  private
  attr_accessor :a
end

# GETTER can be rescued in a begin-block or inline
begin   o.a     
rescue; $!.class        # => NoMethodError
end
o.a rescue $!.class     # => NoMethodError

# SETTER can be rescued in a begin-block but NOT inline!
begin   o.a = 1
rescue; $!.class        # => NoMethodError
end
o.a = 1 rescue $!.class

# ~> NoMethodError
# ~> private method `a=' called for "some object":String
