Bug #11508
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 8 years ago
~~~ruby ~~~ {a:1,b:2}.eql?({b:2,a:1}) => true ~~~ The `eql?` eql? (aka `==`) ==) operator on hashes does not compare the ordering of the compared hashes. This behaviour is documented in `Hash#==` Hash#== (and should not be touched, ever) I'd like to suggest: - extend the documentation of `Hash#==` Hash#== to *explicitely* state, that ordering is not compared - add a new function in ruby5 to compare hashes with respect of the ordering, aka `{a:1,b:2}.eql_with_order?({b:2,a:1})` {a:1,b:2}.eql_with_order?({b:2,a:1}) => `false` false
