[ruby-core:46274] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6265] Remove 'useless' 'concatenation' syntax

From: "marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)" <ruby-core@...>
Date: 2012-07-09 14:02:56 UTC
List: ruby-core #46274
Issue #6265 has been updated by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).

Category set to core
Target version changed from 3.0 to 2.0.0

Changing target for 2.0 so that we add the deprecation warning.

A warning is good practice and should happen at the best moment: at parse time.

Feature #6265: Remove 'useless' 'concatenation' syntax
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6265#change-27896

Author: rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: mame (Yusuke Endoh)
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0


What is wrong with this code:

some_method 'argument1', 'argument2' 'argument3'

Yes, the missing colon, but it is not always easy to notice that...

What is this ('concatenation' 'syntax') useful for?

Why writing ('some ' 'concatenation') instead of 'some concatenation'?

A missing colon between string arguments can lead to some bugs that may be hard to find, specially if the arguments are optional.

And I can't see any useful case where this allowed syntax for concatenation would help.
