From: matz@... Date: 2018-02-20T07:12:52+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:85675] [Ruby trunk Bug#14062] Top-level return allows an argument Issue #14062 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). I am against making it a syntax error. Adding warnings is OK (but maybe we can rely on Rubocop etc. to detect them). Matz. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14062: Top-level return allows an argument https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14062#change-70469 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.5.0dev (2017-10-26 trunk 60450) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ~~~ ruby puts "Here" return 42 # or :foo, or any value ~~~ ~~~ ruby test.rb Here ~~~ Should it be a SyntaxError, as mentioned in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4840#note-24 ? It seems confusing to accept it silently, as one could expect the exact code to be affected by it (that should not be the case imho).
