Hi:
I would like to contribute to the JRuby project, and I am starting
with Charles suggestion to fix RubySpec bugs. I have successfully run
the test case for #3745 against the latest code from github using the
procedure he describes, reproduced the RubySpec result, and written my
own test code to prove to myself that I understand the defect.
Where can I look in the code base to understand how to determine in
what context the Hash.rehash method is called, i.e. if it is called
from an iterator over the Hash or not? I see from the Hash.each method
how the yield to the block is performed and how the reference to the
block to be used is called. I am not sure how to use that to safely
determine that a rehash to the same Hash is being called from that
same block (or even if that is a good approach. It doesn't smell quite
right to me...).
Any suggestions?
If you think this defect is too big a bite to start with (i.e. first
requires deep understanding of JRuby architecture / design), any
suggestions for easier ones are welcome. But I am willing to start
anywhere...
BTW, searching through the dev mail archive using CodeHaus is not
working very well for me. Trying a search on "3745" or "RUBY-3745"
gives me "Unfortunately, there was an unexpected issue processing your
request. " (after I prove I am human... ;-)
Thanks,
Gerald
