Subject: [ruby-core:93036] [Ruby trunk Bug#15910] $. doesn't hold the linenumber anymore when reading a CSV-file using the CSV class

Issue #15910 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Assignee set to kou (Kouhei Sutou)

I can confirm the behavior change.  I bisected it to https://github.com/ruby/csv/commit/8505ff0900a4789dce0740ab23e92de1fb89196e.  I would not consider this change a bug, since I don't think the csv library was ever documented as treating `$.` as the line number of the current CSV file.  I would consider it relying on internal behavior.  Restoring backwards compatibility in regards to `$.` looks like it may hurt performance.  Assigning to kou, csv maintainer, to make a decision.

Example program:

```
require 'csv'
IFS=';'
CSV_OPTIONS = { col_sep: IFS, external_encoding: Encoding::ISO_8859_1, internal_encoding: Encoding::UTF_8 }
CSV.new($stdin, CSV_OPTIONS).each do
    |row|
    puts "::::line #{$.} row=#{row}"
end%          
```

With this program, I could dump a semicolon-delimited CSV file, with line numbers. Now the line number always displays as 0. Has the implementation of CSV changed?
