Previously, this would delete the key in `h` before keyword splatting `h`. This goes against how ruby handles `f(*a, &a.pop)` and similar expressions. Fix this by having the compiler check whether the block pass expression is safe. If it is not safe, then dup the keyword splatted hash before evaluating the block pass expression. For expression: `h=nil; f(**h, &h.delete(:key))` VM instructions before: ``` 0000 putnil ( 1)[Li] 0001 setlocal_WC_0 h@0 0003 putself 0004 getlocal_WC_0 h@0 0006 getlocal_WC_0 h@0 0008 putobject :key 0010 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:delete, argc:1, ARGS_SIMPLE> 0012 splatkw 0013 send <calldata!mid:f, argc:1, ARGS_BLOCKARG|FCALL|KW_SPLAT>, nil 0016 leave ``` VM instructions after: ``` 0000 putnil ( 1)[Li] 0001 setlocal_WC_0 h@0 0003 putself 0004 putspecialobject 1 0006 newhash 0 0008 getlocal_WC_0 h@0 0010 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:core#hash_merge_kwd, argc:2, ARGS_SIMPLE> 0012 getlocal_WC_0 h@0 0014 putobject :key 0016 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:delete, argc:1, ARGS_SIMPLE> 0018 send <calldata!mid:f, argc:1, ARGS_BLOCKARG|FCALL|KW_SPLAT|KW_SPLAT_MUT>, nil 0021 leave ``` This is the same as 07d3bf4832532ae7446c9a6924d79aed60a7a9a5, except that it removes unnecessary hash allocations when using the prism compiler. Fixes [Bug #20640]
What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/maintainers_md.html#label-Platform+Maintainers
