Bug #11954: "self has wrong type to call super in this context" under weird circumstances

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: shugo (Shugo Maeda)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-linux]
• Backport: 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: DONTNEED, 2.3: DONE

See attached file snafu.rb.

This file was obtained by inlining and reducing a large codebase...

I can reproduce this bug on 2.3.0 and was able to reduce the broken code even more increasing the amount of iterations:

The bug was introduced in r52104 by ko1, and it seems to be fixed by the attached patch, but Im' not sure.

Shugo-san, thank you for your investigating.
It seems perfect.
Could you commit it? or should I commit it?

Thanks,
Koichi

Was this ever committed/backported ? I've encountered this in real world usage with 2.3.1, and Peter's reproduction script continues to show the issue (although I had to increase iteration count to get consistent failure)

I missed ko1's comment. I'll commit it later.
