Bug #6891: Protected methods in a module can't call super

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

• ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-08-19 trunk 36729) [x86_64-darwin12.0.0]

Since r36616 modules that have protected methods and are extended on to another class cannot call super. Here is an example:

module A
def inherited klass
super
end
end

module B
protected

def inherited klass
super
end
end

class C
extend B
extend A
end

class Z < C
end

Before r36616 this code would work, but after r36616 this code raises an exception. I've attached a test case.
