Intuitively, I don't think so, but I fail to find good logical arguments :) (We can, for example, note that `with` is some `Data`-specific and fancy copying/duplication method, and `dup`/`clone` don't invoke `.new`)
Yeah, I think it's uncommon to call `.new` dynamically for core classes so probably no need here. It would matter if someone defined a custom `new`, but our expectation with Data is that people define a custom initialize and not a custom new. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19259: `Data#with` doesn't call `initialize` nor `initialize_copy` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19259#change-100816 * Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- `Data#with` doesn't call `initialize` nor `initialize_copy`. It is confirmation request. ```ruby class P < Data.define(:x, :y) def initialize_copy(...) p :initialize_copy super end def initialize(...) p :initialize super end end pt = P.new(1, 2) #=> :initialize pt.clone #=> :initialize_copy pt.dup #=> :initialize_copy pt.with(x: 10) #=> N/A ``` For example, if an author of `P` add validation code, `#with` skips it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
