All -
I’m having a strange issue and am wondering if you might know anything
about it.
I’m troubleshooting a piece of code that has something like this in it:
0…16.times { … }
I believe the 0… is extraneous and the code should behave as:
0…(16.times { … } )
And the return value of the expression is not used so I think it should
be
equivalent to simply:
16.times { … }
However, sometimes when this code is run the block appears to execute 0
times instead of 16. This happens only when the code is run in JRuby
(jruby-1.7.16 and jruby-1.6.8 on both OS X and Linux); not on MRI Ruby
1.9.3 and 2.1.4.
Unfortunately I’m unable to provide a minimal test case.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Any clue as to what might be
happening?
Thanks,
Keith
