Issue #20444 has been updated by ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu).
@esad If you just want to return a result from the `loop`, you can use `break
<value>` to do that:
```
$ ruby -e "puts loop { break 3 }"
3
```
You shouldn't have to deal with anything low level like `StopIteration` to do that.

Feature #20444: Kernel#loop: returning the "result" value of StopIteration
doesn't work when raised directly

----------------------------------------
There was a
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11498 a while ago which was merged in, but I
was surprised to find out that raising `StopIteration` in a loop like
`loop { raise StopIteration.new(3) }`
returns nil and not 3.
