#576: It's possible to close STDOUT (and presumably other standard IO streams)
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: matt...@… | Owner: lsansone...@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: MacRuby 0.5

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Run the following in irb, then macirb:
{{{
STDOUT.close
}}}
'''Expected (Ruby 1.9.1):'''
{{{
=> nil
}}}
'''Actual (MacRuby 0.5 beta 2):'''
{{{
(closes interpreter)
}}}
The expected behavior is to ignore close requests to standard IO streams.
Ruby does this, but MacRuby does not. When using macirb, calling
{{{STDOUT.close}}} simply closes the interpreter, whereas in Ruby it
returns nil.
This has important real-world implications when dealing with logging.
Consider logging to STDOUT; Logger#close actually closes the STDOUT
stream!
