Bug #12091
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 8 years ago
If you freeze a `SortedSet` it looses most functionality because of the way `to_a` is implemented: ``` irb(main):001:0> require 'set' => true irb(main):002:0> Set.new.freeze => #<Set: {}> irb(main):003:0> SortedSet.new.freeze RuntimeError: can't modify frozen SortedSet from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/lib/ruby/2.4.0/set.rb:679:in `to_a' from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/lib/ruby/2.4.0/set.rb:541:in `inspect' from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/bin/irb:11:in `<main>' ``` And since `each` method relies on `to_a`, all the `Enumerable` methods are also broken: ``` irb(main):006:0> SortedSet.new([1, 2, 2]).freeze.max RuntimeError: can't modify frozen SortedSet from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/lib/ruby/2.4.0/set.rb:679:in `to_a' from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/lib/ruby/2.4.0/set.rb:674:in `each' from (irb):6:in `max' from (irb):6 from /Users/andrew/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0-dev/bin/irb:11:in `<main>' ``` The relevant code is: ```ruby ``` def to_a (@keys = @hash.keys).sort! unless @keys @keys end ```
