Bug #11976

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) almost 9 years ago

When assigning to nil as a hash, the RHS gets short-circuited, and the hash assignment on nil returns nil. 
 To reproduce: 

 ~~~ruby ~~~ 
 nil[:some_key] = undefined_method 
 # Expected: NameError: undefined local variable or method `undefined_method' for main:Object 
 # Actual: evaluates to nil. No errors raised. 
 ~~~
