Bug #1983

Struct doesn't define instance methods for valid method names

Added by bitsweat (Jeremy Daer) over 14 years ago. Updated almost 13 years ago.

Rejected

Description

=begin

foo = Struct.new(:foo?, :foo!).new(true, true)
=> #<struct :foo?=true, :foo!=true>
foo.foo?
NoMethodError: undefined method foo?' for #<struct :foo?=true, :foo!=true> from (irb):3 from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:in '
foo.foo!
NoMethodError: undefined method foo!' for #<struct :foo?=true, :foo!=true> from (irb):4 from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:in '
foo[:foo?]
=> true
foo[:foo!]
=> true

I think this is because foo?= and foo!= are not valid setter methods.

By why not generate the reader and skip the setter, then?
