Why does OpenStruct allow modification after it has been frozen? Output
is
20 in both ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9:
require ‘ostruct’
a = OpenStruct.new()
a.foo = 10
a.freeze()
a.foo = 20
puts a.foo

Because the OpenStruct instance is never modified here,
only the internal hash it uses to store attribute values.
The internal hash is not frozen, only the OpenStruct instance
itself.

That could still be considered a bug and IMHO it is.

Agreed.

Turned out that this was certainly an error only already created
write accessors were ignoring the frozen? state of the object, thus
x =OpenStruct::new.freeze
x.a = 42
would have thrown the expected TypeError.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Thanks for input. So we can expect it to be fixed in the new release?

I really do not know, depends if my patch or Joel’s will be accepted,
but I see no reason why not ;).
