Subject: [ruby-core:98502] [Ruby master Misc#16910] BasicObject is resolved	in BasicObject

Issue #16910 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria).


Ahhh, that explains it. That code says this is intentional and definitely not a bug.

Thanks a lot Benoit!


----------------------------------------
Misc #16910: BasicObject is resolved in BasicObject
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16910#change-85778

* Author: fxn (Xavier Noria)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
I categorized this as Misc because I do not really know if this is a bug, or perhaps I miss some special rule in the resolution of relative constants.

Basically, I would expect

```ruby
class C < BasicObject
  BasicObject
end
```

or, even simpler,

```ruby
class BasicObject
  BasicObject
end
```


to raise `NameError`.

Reason would be that top-level constants are stored in `Object`, which is not among the ancestors in any of the two examples above.

Is my reasoning flawed or is it a bug? If flawed, which is the correct reasoning?
