We found with use of BigDecimal that we were often needing to compare BigDecimal with zero or initialize BigDecimal as 0 for a default value. This introduces a bit move overhead than is typically needed, since a simple BigDecimal.new('0'...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
Array's delete and delete_at return the deleted item from an array, so it would seem as though Array should allow some sort of delete method that could take a block and would return the deleted items that matched as an array. Currentl...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
Eric, My apologizes as I probably wasted your time with that. The problem with the code you posted is that for TCO you still have to specify trace_instruction: false. If you execute the following, it is fine in Ruby 2.0.0p247 at least, ...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
btw- that method is incorrect, and when I wrote a better/working method, now it doesn't have that error in 2.0.0p247 but still fails with 1.9.3-p448. Not sure why: method_string = <<RUBY def recursively_sort(obj) case obj when Array...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
Code to reproduce is a recursive sort I wrote; I was trying to compile RubyVM::InstructionSequence with tailcall_optimization: true, trace_instruction: false, which has worked before, but not for this case. method_string = <<RUBY de...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
Thinking about it a bit more, I guess it would have to be context sensitive. Just some character that is parsed when the block is being parsed that indicates that the following statement is a block. So maybe the best that could be done w...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
@matz, You know best. :) !! I know that this request varies a bit when you consider that stab is a function call, but the goal is to de-uglify code that we are starting to have like: some_method :some, :args, :here, -> {the block make...garysweaver (Gary Weaver)
