[ruby-core:112128] [Ruby master Bug#19392] Endless method vs and/or

Issue #19392 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). Status changed from Open to Rejected This precedence is needed to allow: ```ruby public def test = puts("foo") ``` ---------------------------------------- Bug #19392: Endless method vs and/or https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19392#change-101564 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: DONTNEED, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- [Discovered](https://twitter.com/lucianghinda/status/1617783952353406977) by Lucian Ghinda: ```ruby def test = puts("foo") and puts("bar") # prints "bar" immediately test # prints "foo" ``` It seems that it is a parser error, right?.. ```ruby RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse('def test = puts("foo") and puts("bar")') # => # (SCOPE@1:0-1:38 # tbl: [] # args: nil # body: # (AND@1:0-1:38 # (DEFN@1:0-1:22 # mid: :test # body: # (SCOPE@1:0-1:22 # tbl: [] # args: # (ARGS@1:0-1:8 pre_num: 0 pre_init: nil opt: nil first_post: nil post_num: 0 post_init: nil rest: nil kw: nil kwrest: nil block: nil) # body: (FCALL@1:11-1:22 :puts (LIST@1:16-1:21 (STR@1:16-1:21 "foo") nil)))) # (FCALL@1:27-1:38 :puts (LIST@1:32-1:37 (STR@1:32-1:37 "bar") nil)))) ``` E.g. it is parsed as ```ruby (def test = puts("foo")) and (puts("bar")) ``` ...which is hardly intentional or have any practical use. The rightly parsed code in this case _can_ have practical use, like ```ruby def write(data) = File.write(@filename, data) == data.size or raise "Something went wrong" ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
