Was there any special about the 1.8.7 that was shipped with 8.10? One of
our users is hitting this error, but our test case to detect the buggy
version is not firing, even though it works fine for the 1.8.7 release
from the ruby web site:
#
# Check for the ugly 1.8.7 short-named constants bug
#
class ConstBugTestA
Const = 'A'
def test
Const == 'A'
end
end
ConstBugTestC = ConstBugTestA.dup
class ConstBugTestB < ConstBugTestC
Const = 'B'
end
def ruby_187_const_bug
bugged = false
begin
ConstBugTestA.new.test()
ConstBugTestB.new.test()
rescue ::NameError
bugged = true
end
bugged
end
