From: shevegen@... Date: 2020-02-01T22:09:11+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:97040] [Ruby master Feature#16602] Add support for `frozen_string_literals` to eval. Issue #16602 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). > Basically, it's back to the discussion of enabling frozen_string_literal by default. As far as I know it is not so much a discussion (matz decided to enable it after all) - the primary question was more when it would become the default. I do not know when it will be the case, but matz said that ruby 3.0 will not have it by default, primarily due to backwards compatibility (which is simply a decision to be made either way). I have no real opinion on this feature suggested by ioquatix (personally I do not need it; all my .rb files that I use on a daily basis have frozen strings set to true anyway) but I think the discussion is a bit coming or going from different point of views. One point may originate from convenience (I would think so ioquatix); the other about that it is already possible as-is, via the example shown by byroot, but also "downward" request that could follow, as shown by saba - e. g. to add the same to more methods, even if the suggestion here did not include it. Again, I have no real preference either way, but the convenience aspect should possibly be considered, whether there may be a net benefit or a net drawback of the feature at hand. This may also require perhaps other folks to comment if they were to need the suggested functionality; I can't speak for them as I would not need the functionality (I almost never use eval() anymore; in general I try to avoid plain eval(); only using instance_eval and class_eval if any eval at all these days). ---------------------------------------- Feature #16602: Add support for `frozen_string_literals` to eval. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16602#change-84133 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Would it make sense for `eval(..., frozen_string_literal: true)` to exist? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
