From: akr@... Date: 2017-12-27T10:01:09+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:84499] [Ruby trunk Feature#14245] Add File.read etc. Issue #14245 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka). If I understand this proposal correctly, this proposal means that adding File.read method and doesn't change IO.read method? I.e. IO.read("|command") is works as now?. I think it is possible direction. Apart from that, we should list all affected methods explicitly (without "etc."). ---------------------------------------- Feature #14245: Add File.read etc. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14245#change-69024 * Author: shugo (Shugo Maeda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Some people use File.open without knowing that it's defined in IO and pipes can be opened. ``` p File.read("|echo hello") #-> "hello" ``` How about to add File.read, File.binread, File.foreach etc. (similar version to File.open)? Code like File.read(filename) is considered to have no intention to open pipes. Implementation by prelude.rb is suggested by normalperson in #14239: > I like that idea, I've been rewriting some stuff to use > "File.open(filename, &:read)" instead of IO.read. > > Now, can we implement these new singleton methods in > prelude.rb instead of writing in C? :) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
