I was getting an error trying to use ScriptEngine to require
'win32ole' (Actually, I need this from C#, below example given because
its easier to show in IronRuby):
>>> IronRuby.create_engine.execute_file('Libs\win32ole.rb')
:0: `&' interpreted as argument prefix
(Microsoft::Scripting::SyntaxErrorException)
Looks like it fails on this line(63):
result = strongly_typed_enumerable.each &b
#result = strongly_typed_enumerable.each(&b) #Works just fine if we
add parens around &b
However, ir.exe reads the file with NO error if we just do a normal "require".
This is where I'm not sure if this is a bug.
Do ScriptEngine and IR.exe (run interactively ONLY) have stricter
parsing requirements?
I investigated a bit further to get a simpler repro and found some
interesting results.
Fine processing the code directly:
>ruby -e"b = lambda { |x| p x };result = [1,2].each &b"
1
2
>rbx -e"b = lambda { |x| p x };result = [1,2].each &b"
1
2
Argument error comes ONLY when running interactively (or through the
ScriptEngine as shown above):
>irb
irb(main):001:0> b = lambda { |x| p x };result = [1,2].each &b
1
2
=> [1, 2]
>rbx
IronRuby 0.9.1.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3082

>>> b = lambda { |x| p x };result = [1,2].each &b
unknown: `&' interpreted as argument prefix
(Microsoft::Scripting::SyntaxErrorException)
Again, fine through ir.exe interactive if I parameterize the block:
b = lambda { |x| p x };result = [1,2].each(&b)
Thanks
Best Regards,
Kevin
