tfpt review /shelveset:merge-3;REDMOND\jflam Ruby only This shelveset fixes a number of open bugs on Rubyforge and adds some features that we need to get the latest rubinius specs running. MatchDataOps: - ``` we used to alias MatchData to ``` System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match. However, to fully implement MatchData we need to also hold onto a reference to the original string that we matched against. A new MatchData type was created (MatchData.cs) which wraps the existing .NET Match object. This also touches MutableStringOps.cs, RubyOps.cs, RubyScope.cs, SpecialGlobalVariableInfo.cs - ``` finished implementing all methods. 16 out of 16 specs pass ``` - ``` implemented to_a which closes bug #19903 ``` RegexpOps: - ``` added ctor overload to close bug #19927 ``` - ``` made some changes to return MatchData objects instead of Match ``` objects - ``` made some changes to return boxed integers via ``` RuntimeHelpers.Int32ToObject() instead of explicit boxing. This also touches MutableStringOps.cs TimeOps: - ``` removed overloaded constructors to close bug #19956. But this ``` exposes a new problem about Type aliasing that is described by bug 20035 (referencing a System::DateTime explicitly does not allow you to call the .NET constructors - only the Ruby-defined constructors). - ``` fixed Time#- bug - #19955 ``` ModuleOps: - ``` fixed some very old bugs #15996, #15995 related to including ``` non-sensible things (include 1, include nil). RequireNonClasses() method now throws the correct Ruby exceptions. This also touches SingletonOps.cs MutableStringOps: - ``` added an implementation of String#rindex which closes #19904. We ``` pass all specs except for 4 which fail because of differences between .NET regex and Ruby regex. Dir.cs: - ``` cleaned up some code here, was about to work on glob ``` implementation (bugs #19843 #19950, but handed off to Curt) FileOps.cs: - ``` added an implementation of File#basename which closes #19905. ``` passes all specs except for one which is wrong, and one which is unix-specific. These things are likely bugs in Ruby. ``` #File.basename('baz.rb', 'z.rb').should == 'ba' -- bad test #File.basename("bar.txt.exe", ".txt.exe").should == "bar" - ``` unix-only, should be wrapped in platform - ``` added an implementation of File.file? to close #19949 ``` MutableString.cs: - ``` added a static Empty MutableString ``` - ``` added delegation thunks to LastIndexOf() ``` - ``` fixed our Equals() implementation to correctly distinguish ``` between different types of strings (CLR vs. MutableString) File.cs: - ``` fixes a bug related to what "w+" means in .NET. - its ``` FileMode.OpenOrCreate Fixed bug #19885 by adding the -I command line switch which lets you specify the library load path. I’ve redefined our internal alias.txt file to generate aliases for rbd and rbx that include a pointer to where the MRI libs are stored in our layout. Fixed bug #17810, which was a long-standing perf bug. Fixed bug #20007, by allowing users to pass nothing for attr\_accessor/reader/writer. This is really a bug in Ruby, but the current implementations allow this behavior, and there are apps that actually depend on it (RbYAML). Thanks, -John
