Issue #20790 has been updated by kddnewton (Kevin Newton). That makes sense to me, we can make that work. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20790: Syntax acceptance of `*x = p rescue p 1` is different between parse.y and prism https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20790#change-110535 * Author: tompng (tomoya ishida) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-10-09T03:27:05Z master ed11a244dd) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ~~~ruby *x = p rescue p 1 # syntax error in prism *x = p 1 rescue p 1 # both syntax ok x = p rescue p 1 # both syntax error x = p 1 rescue p 1 # both syntax ok ~~~ Which is correct? If `*x = p rescue p 1` is syntax valid, should `x = p rescue p 1` also be syntax valid? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
