Hi all,

This is a summary of ruby-dev ML in these days.

[ruby-dev:28606] “;;” causes syntax error

Shyouhei U. reported that “;;” causes syntax error:

```
~ % ruby-1.8 -ve ';;'
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-02-12) [x86_64-linux]

~ % ruby -ve ';;'
ruby 1.9.0 (2006-02-14) [x86_64-linux]
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected kEND

```

This is because “;;” is equivalent to “end” in Ruby 1.9.  
Matz noted that he is going to remove “;;” syntax.

[ruby-dev:28627] ossl\_cipher.c:124: warning: control reaches end of  
non-void function

Akira T. claimed that openssl extension uses too many -DHAVE\_XX  
options on command line, such as:

```
gcc -fPIC -Wall -Wno-parentheses -g -O2 -DRUBY_GC_STRESS
-I. -I../.. -I../../../../ruby -I../../../../ruby/ext/openssl
-DHAVE_UNISTD_H -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H -DHAVE_ASSERT_H
-DHAVE_OPENSSL_SSL_H -DHAVE_OPENSSL_CONF_API_H
-DHAVE_ERR_PEEK_LAST_ERROR -DHAVE_BN_MOD_ADD -DHAVE_BN_MOD_SQR
-DHAVE_BN_MOD_SUB -DHAVE_BN_PSEUDO_RAND_RANGE -DHAVE_BN_RAND_RANGE
-DHAVE_CONF_GET1_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE
-DHAVE_EVP_CIPHER_CTX_SET_PADDING -DHAVE_EVP_CIPHERFINAL_EX
-DHAVE_EVP_CIPHERINIT_EX -DHAVE_EVP_DIGESTFINAL_EX
-DHAVE_EVP_DIGESTINIT_EX -DHAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_CLEANUP
-DHAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_CREATE -DHAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_DESTROY
-DHAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_INIT -DHAVE_HMAC_CTX_CLEANUP -DHAVE_HMAC_CTX_INIT
-DHAVE_PEM_DEF_CALLBACK -DHAVE_X509V3_SET_NCONF
-DHAVE_X509V3_EXT_NCONF_NID -DHAVE_X509_CRL_ADD0_REVOKED
-DHAVE_X509_CRL_SET_ISSUER_NAME -DHAVE_X509_CRL_SET_VERSION
-DHAVE_X509_CRL_SORT -DHAVE_OBJ_NAME_DO_ALL_SORTED
-DHAVE_OPENSSL_CLEANSE -DHAVE_VA_ARGS_MACRO -DHAVE_OPENSSL_ENGINE_H
-DHAVE_ENGINE_ADD -DHAVE_ENGINE_LOAD_BU! ILTIN_ENGINES
-DHAVE_ENGINE_GET_DIGEST -DHAVE_ENGINE_GET_CIPHER
-DHAVE_ENGINE_CLEANUP -DHAVE_OPENSSL_OCSP_H -DHAVE_ST_FLAGS
-DHAVE_ST_ENGINE -DHAVE_ST_SINGLE -c
../../../../ruby/ext/openssl/ossl_cipher.c

```

This is because macros given by command line options precede  
any other macro definition. Nobuyoshi N. posted a patch  
to write any HAVE\_XXX macros in to the header file.

[ruby-dev:28633] load\_to(file, mod)

Hidetoshi Nagai requested a new method Kernel#load\_to, which loads  
a ruby script on the specified module. For example:

```
# x.rb
C = "OK"

# main.rb
module M
end
load_to "./x.rb", M
p M::C # => "OK"

```

Minero A. answered that #load\_to is almost equivalent to  
mod.module\_eval(File.read(“./x.rb”)).
