--- Comment #2 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #1) > The parentheses parsing behavior is well-defined and IMO intuitive (unless > you expect whitespace to be entirely insignificant) To expand on this for posterity, as you yourself probably know what the issue is: The following are method calls, calling `meth` with an argument of `/regex#/`: meth(/regex#/) meth (/regex#/) meth /regex#/ The following are divisions, dividing `meth` by `regex` (which as usual can be methods or variables; the rest of the line is a comment): meth / regex#/ meth/regex#/ So a method call is only used when either explicitly enforced by the parentheses or when the whitespace on two sides of '/' is not balanced. This seems pretty intuitive to me. Similar warnings also pop up all the time when using '*' without parentheses all over (multiplication vs unary "splat"). They can also be triggered by unary minus or plus. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
