Issue #19779 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). I submitted a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8766 ---------------------------------------- Bug #19779: `eval "return"` at top level raises `LocalJumpError` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19779#change-105079 * Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.2.1 * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Wondering whether it's intentional behaviour. It seems it's the only difference I've noticed between calling `return` with and without `eval`: ``` ruby -e 'return' ruby -e 'eval "return"' (eval):1:in `<main>': unexpected return (LocalJumpError) from -e:1:in `eval' from -e:1:in `<main>' ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
