Description

=begin
Hi guys,

Sorry for the duplicate - I already reported ((<this issue|URL:https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6644)>))
2 weeks ago, but didn't receive any answer.
I had mistakenly assigned "target version", maybe that was the reason
of no response? Please let me know if my bug report is wrong or irrelevant
in any other respect.

Here's a link to the discussion of the issue on stackoverflow:
((URL:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11180909))

Bellow is my initial description:

--

Lately I came across some weird behavior with the (({defined?})) operator used to check if (({super})) keyword can be invoked in current context. Usually it works fine, but when I tried to combine the (({defined? super})) check with a tiny bit of metaprogramming, it gave me unexpected results.

class A; 
  def self.def_f!; 
    singleton_class.send(:define_method, :f) { defined? super }
  end
end
class AA < A; end

A.def_f!

A.f  # => nil
AA.f # => nil

AA.def_f!

AA.f # => "super"
A.f  # => "super" - WHY???

The last result is really strange, isn't it?

(({A.f})) has no super method, so I would expect the last (({A.f})) to return (({nil})).
=end

Alexey, thank you for reporting this issue.
Your contribution to Ruby is greatly appreciated.
May Ruby be with you.


defined: me in cfp

  • insns.def (defined): use method entry and id in cfp for proper
    superclass, since klass in iseq is shared by dynamically defined
    methods from the same block. [ruby-core:45831][Bug #6644]
