Apparently it's a duplicate of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8948 ---------------------------------------- Feature #16377: Regexp literals should be frozen https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16377#change-82850 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- The following script: ```ruby def mutate re = /foo/ state = re.instance_variable_get(:@state) re.instance_variable_set(:@state, state.to_i + 1) state end 3.times do p mutate end ``` Output this: ``` nil 1 2 ``` IMHO, you shouldn't be able to mutate an unduplicated literal.
