I think this needs to be resubmitted without all the reformatting.

Updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel) over 11 years ago

  • Priority changed from 3 to Normal
  • Target version set to 2.0.0

I don't see the change in this patch, just corruption of the indentation of string.c. Please configure your editor correctly:

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/DeveloperHowto#coding-style

I will make the change without using your patch based on the description.
