Object.send(:eval, "self") returns caller instead of Object
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-5211
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5211
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5.5
Environment: java version "1.6.0_22", OSX 10.6.5
Reporter: Marc Slemko
Priority: Minor
When you do a send to eval on an object (either Object or any subclass I tried)
then the eval executes in the context of the caller, not the class in question.
I found this issue in some internal code we were porting to jruby, was easy to
work around in this case but is an incompatibility.
On jruby:
Marcs-Mac.local:~$ jruby -v
jruby 1.5.5 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-11-10 4bd4200) (Java HotSpot(TM)
64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_22) [x86_64-java]
Marcs-Mac.local:~$ jruby -S irb
irb(main):001:0> Object.send(:eval, "self")
=> main
On MRI:
irb(main):002:0> Marcs-Mac.local:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
Marcs-Mac.local:~$ irb
>> Object.send(:eval, "self")
=> Object
