Feature #16377

Regexp literals should be frozen

Added by byroot (Jean Boussier) over 4 years ago. Updated over 3 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
[ruby-core:95977]

Description

The following script:

def mutate
  re = /foo/
  state = re.instance_variable_get(:@state)
  re.instance_variable_set(:@state, state.to_i + 1)
  state
end

3.times do
  p mutate
end

Output this:

nil
1
2

IMHO, you shouldn't be able to mutate an unduplicated literal.
