Bug #1386: Spurious class "ARGF.class" in ObjectSpace

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)

• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1 (2008-12-16 revision 20768) [i686-linux]ruby 1.8.6 (2008-

=begin
$ ruby19 -e 'ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) { |c| puts c if c.to_s =~ /./ }'
ARGF.class

However this 'class' is not accessible by name:

$ ruby19 -e 'puts Object.const_get("ARGF.class")'
-e:1:in const_get': wrong constant name ARGF.class (NameError) from -e:1:in '
=end

Sorry, I set the ruby -v field wrongly, but cannot edit it. It should have been:

$ ruby19 -v

=end

We have never guaranteed that

c == Object.const_get(c.to_s)

where c is a class. So I don't consider this as a bug.
