Forum: IronRuby Code Review: 19compat

tfpt review "/shelveset:19compat;REDMOND\tomat"
  Comment  :
  Adds LibraryPath19 option. This option allows to set paths to 1.9 libs 
and is used in -1.9 mode.
  Implements Kernel#trusted?, Kernel#trust, Kernel#untrust. The flag is 
always settable and not checked anywhere as we don't support Ruby's 
security model.
  Fixes Array#fill overload ambiguity.
  Fixes Array#== and Hash#== to handle recursive structures properly.

I know I'm a bit late but I have a question.

Since IR doesn't support Ruby's security model, does this mean that
(for example) it's really OK to have Object#clone not preserving the
untrusted state of an object or having Kernel#trust and Kernel#untrust
not raising an exception if an object is frozen, like happen on MRI
1.9?

The behavior differences you describe should be fixed. This doesn't mean 
though that you should base any security related decisions upon flags 
like tainted and untrusted.
We are giving no security guarantees based upon these flags. The only 
security barriers are those defined by CLR security system.

Tomas

OK thanks. I supposed it was just like for the taint status but the
"always settable and not checked anywhere" made me wonder if there was
something else.
