Feature #8184

Avoid the creation of meaningless ranges (nil, false, true)

Added by phi (Pascal Hurni) almost 11 years ago.

Status:

Description

With the definition of <=> on Object on post 1.8, the range_init() function no more throws "ArgumentError: bad value for range" when creating these ranges:
nil..nil
false..false
true..true

These kind of ranges are meaningless, the majority of methods on Range do not work on them, like (nil..nil).include?(nil).

This feature request (with patch) re-introduces the 1.8 behaviour of throwing ArgumentError when creating such ranges.
