From: eregontp@... Date: 2018-04-25T16:53:39+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:86683] [Ruby trunk Feature#14701] If the object is not frozen, I want to be able to redefine the compound assignment operator. Issue #14701 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). I agree with matz. Python's inplace operators sound like a fundamental design flaw to me, because a += b is no longer a = a + b but sometimes something completely different and there is no way to differentiate at the source level. Most notably, it means other variables pointing to the same NArray would get modified in place by +=, which seems highly unexpected. So I would advise #add or #add! for such a use-case. Users should be aware of the danger of modifying an object inplace, by using syntax exposing that mutability. ---------------------------------------- Feature #14701: If the object is not frozen, I want to be able to redefine the compound assignment operator. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14701#change-71643 * Author: naitoh (Jun NAITOH) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- If the object is not frozen, I want to be able to redefine the compound assignment operator (e.g. +=, -=, *=, /=, ..etc ). https://docs.ruby-lang.org/ja/latest/doc/spec=2foperator.html * Redefinable operator (method) ~~~ | ^ & <=> == === =~ > >= < <= << >> + - * / % ** ~ +@ -@ [] []= ` ! != !~ ~~~ * use case ~~~ > require 'numo/narray' > a = Numo::Int32[5, 6] => Numo::Int32#shape=[2] [5, 6] > a.object_id => 70326927544920 > a += 1 => Numo::Int32#shape=[2] [6, 7] > a.object_id => 70326927530540 > a.inplace + 1 => Numo::Int32(view)#shape=[2] [7, 8] > a.object_id => 70326927530540 ~~~ With Numo::NArray, using "inplace" instead of "+=" will update the same object so it will be faster. I want to write "a += 1" instead of "a.inplace + 1". However, Ruby can not redefine "+=". -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
