Subject: [ruby-core:54350] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8239] Inline rescue bug


Issue #8239 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


I also think this is a bug, but it may not be backported because of backward compatibility.

Feature #8239: Inline rescue bug

There is a possible bug in parsing of inline rescue.
When an inline rescue is a part of multiple assignment and exception is raised, the assignment is silently ignored.

def foo
  raise "error"
end

bar, baz = 1,2    # bar == 1, baz == 2
bar, baz = foo rescue [3,4] # no assignment performed:       bar == 1, baz == 2
                            # expected after the expression: bar == 3, baz == 4
