[ruby-core:86373] [Ruby trunk Bug#14641][Rejected] Shouldn't Array#map not modify its array?

Issue #14641 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

The array itself is not modified, you are mutating elements of the current array during iteration (as String#<< mutates the receiver), then returning a new array with the mutated elements (since String#<< returns the receiver).  If you don't want to mutate the elements, use String#+:

~~~ ruby
irb(main):001:0> a = ['a', 'b']
=> ["a", "b"]
irb(main):002:0> a.map{|e| e + 'c'}
=> ["ac", "bc"]
irb(main):003:0> a
=> ["a", "b"]
irb(main):004:0> a.object_id
=> 11790377160340
irb(main):005:0> a.map{|e| e << 'c'}.object_id
=> 11788696580840

Hi, 

Thanks for the awesome work you guys have been doing on Ruby for all this years.

I might be missing something obvious, but I thought Array#map doesn't modify the array it's called on?

Ie.

~~~ ruby
ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux]
    a = ['a','b'] 
..    
=> ["a", "b"]
    a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["ac", "bc"]
    a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["acc", "bcc"]
    a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["accc", "bccc"]
    a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["acccc", "bcccc"]
   a
=> ["acccc", "bcccc"]
~~~

Expected `a` to be still ["a", "b"].

Same in Ruby 2.4 ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-darwin16]

~~~ ruby
irb(main):003:0*  a = ['a','b']
=> ["a", "b"]
irb(main):004:0>  a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["ac", "bc"]
irb(main):005:0>  a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["acc", "bcc"]
irb(main):006:0>  a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["accc", "bccc"]
irb(main):007:0>  a.map{|e| e << 'c'} 
=> ["acccc", "bcccc"]
irb(main):008:0>  a 
=> ["acccc", "bcccc"]
~~~

Thanks for you guys time.
