What I worry about is Jeremy's comment in the PR: > In terms of idea, whether we want this feature depends on how annoying we want the warnings to be. If they warn every call, they are very annoying and it will push people to fixing the issue. If they only warn once, they are not that annoying, and people may be less inclined to fix the issue. It is really convincing. That being said, I'm afraid if it is too annoying. I'd like to hear opinions and discuss it at the next meeting, so I've created this ticket. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16289: Reduce duplicated warnings for the change of Ruby 3 keyword arguments https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16289#change-82439 * Author: mame (Yusuke Endoh) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- ## Problem Currently, the interpreter emits 200 lines of warnings against the following program. ```ruby def foo(**opt); end 100.times { foo({kw:1}) } ``` ``` $ ./miniruby -e 'def foo(**opt); end; 100.times { foo({kw:1}) }' -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here ... ``` In theory, the warnings are not harmful because they don't stop or interfere the execution. But in practice, I'm afraid if they are annoying because they flush all console logs away. I think that the warning is not needed if the call is already warned. ## Proposal How about limiting the count of warnings to at most once for each pair of caller and callee? I've created [a pull request](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2458). It records all pairs of caller position and callee iseq when emitting a warning, and suppress the warning if the same pair of caller and callee is already warned.
