### 1. Object, block, and Enumerator forms Imho there are two options here a) If block form is supported, the offset is a keyword argument. It was not requested by the OP (also not in my duplicate #19177), but it's more versatile ...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
Introducing efficient bit operations is a great idea, but looking at the proposed methods, having to pass `lsb_first:` repeatedly across multiple bit-related methods suggests that the bit-endianness is a cross-cutting concern. I belie...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
I'm bumping this because just today I wished Ruby had this feature (although the discussion above seems to have diverged quite a bit) ```ruby Dependencies = {} def require_dep(filename) Dependencies[filename] = [Time.now] requ...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
You have mostly convinced me about backward compatibility, but I still find that new API awkward. I may be bikeshedding here, but is there a precedent in Ruby for a macro that assigns multiple variables? Given the new API is meant to ...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
> I think that we don't need to introduce `RSTRING_RAW_END()` or something. We can just recommend `RSTRING_RAW_PTR() + RSTRING_LEN()` instead of `RSTRING_END()`. Then what was the original purpose of introducing `RSTRING_END()` in the f...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
> `RSTRING_CSTR()` doesn't check whether `\0` is included in the target content or not. That is a very good point. In that case, perhaps the new NUL-terminated macro should instead alias or behave similarly to `StringValueCStr()`. Other...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
I agree that completely deprecating RSTRING_PTR might not be strictly necessary, but for the sake of a smooth migration, I highly recommend introducing RSTRING_CSTR as an alias for the new, NUL-terminated RSTRING_PTR behavior. Introdu...Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
