Bug #17545

closed

Calling dup on a subclass of Proc returns a Proc and not the subclass

Added by lamont (Lamont Granquist) about 3 years ago. Updated about 2 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
-
ruby -v:
ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-darwin18]
[ruby-core:102107]

Description

Trivial example:

[1] pry(main)> class Test < Proc; end
=> nil
[3] pry(main)> Test.new { puts "foo" }.dup
=> #<Proc:0x00007f91a78913c8 (pry):3>

Also fairly trivial workaround:

[4] pry(main)> class Test < Proc
[4] pry(main)*   def dup
[4] pry(main)*     self.class.new(&super)
[4] pry(main)*   end
[4] pry(main)* end
=> :dup
[5] pry(main)> Test.new { puts "foo" }.dup
=> #<Test:0x00007f91b8e73e38 (pry):9>

Seems like a bug though, Proc#dup is probably calling the ruby-c equivalent of Proc.new rather than self.class.new and bypassing subclassing

This behavior is from ruby 1.9.
Matz, is it a bug?

@all-ruby -e 'class Test < Proc; end; p Test.new { puts "foo" }.dup.class'

It should be an instance of the subclass for consistency. But considering that we discourage the use of subclass for the standard class, the fix should not be applied soon. Maybe 3.2 or later.

T#dup (T < Proc) should return T's object

T#dup (T < Proc) returns Proc object (not T) from Ruby 1.9.
