Feature #16289
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) about 5 years ago
## Problem Currently, the interpreter emits 200 lines of warnings against the following program. ```ruby ``` def foo(**opt); end 100.times { foo({kw:1}) } ``` ``` $ ./miniruby -e 'def foo(**opt); end; 100.times { foo({kw:1}) }' -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here -e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter -e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here ... ``` In theory, the warnings are not harmful because they don't stop or interfere the execution. But in practice, I'm afraid if they are annoying because they flush all console logs away. I think that the warning is not needed if the call is already warned. ## Proposal How about limiting the count of warnings to at most once for each pair of caller and callee? I've created [a pull request](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2458). It records all pairs of caller position and callee iseq when emitting a warning, and suppress the warning if the same pair of caller and callee is already warned. What do you think?
