Bug #12684

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) almost 8 years ago

There is some strange behavior because Delegator is missing an alias of #eql? to #== 

 ``` 
 2.3.1 `2.3.1 :001 > s = 'test' 
  => "test"  
 2.3.1 :002 > d = SimpleDelegator.new(s) 
  => "test"  
 2.3.1 :003 > d.eql?(d) 
  => false  
 2.3.1 :004 > d == d 
  => true  
 2.3.1 :005 > d.hash == d.hash 
  => true 
 ``` true`  

 I understand that `Delegator` is a `BasicObject` and that does not define #eql? method, but this method is being used by `Array`r. Array. 

 For example, 

 ``` 
 2.3.1 `2.3.1 :001 > s = 'test' 
  => "test"  
 2.3.1 :002 > a = [SimpleDelegator.new(s), SimpleDelegator.new(s)] 
  => ["test", "test"]  
 2.3.1 :003 > a[0] == a[1] 
  => true  
 2.3.1 :004 > a.uniq() 
  => ["test", "test"] 
 2.3.1 :005 > a[0].hash == a[1].hash 
  => true 
 ``` true`  

 Kind of strange behavior, especially reading the documentation. 

 Now maybe, `Array#uniq` should be changed to use `#==` #== instead of `#eql?` #eql?
