Bug #19087

String#to_c supports multiple "_"

Description

I've noticed a minor inconsistent behaviour of String#to_c method. It does not treat a sequence of _ character as an end of meaningful characters:

"123".to_c # => (123+0i)
"12_3".to_c # => (123+0i)
"12__3".to_c # => (123+0i)
"12___3".to_c # => (123+0i)

Similar methods #to_i and #to_r treat multiple _ in a different way - they just ignore characters after it:

"12__3".to_i # => 12
"12__3".to_r # => (12/1)

I would expect #to_c to behave similarly.

[Bug #19087] Disallow successive underscores in Complex string

Updated by nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga) over 1 year ago

  • Backport changed from 2.7: REQUIRED, 3.0: REQUIRED, 3.1: REQUIRED to 2.7: REQUIRED, 3.0: REQUIRED, 3.1: DONTNEED

I agree that the new behavior is consistent and preferable, but I don't think it should be fixed on the stable branches.
If there are any troubles on the real world applications with this issue, please let me know.
