[ruby-core:42619] [ruby-trunk - Feature #1591][Rejected] DATA handle unusable in required modules

From: Yusuke Endoh <mame@...>
Date: 2012-02-14 12:37:45 UTC
List: ruby-core #42619
Issue #1591 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh.

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected

I'm rejecting this feature ticket because no progress has been
made for a long time.  See [ruby-core:42391].



This feature is difficult to implement in terms of resource of
file descriptor.  The interpreter must keep the descriptor of
each source file that ends with __END__ because the content may
be accessed.  This leads to a shortage of file descriptor.

AFAIK, DATA and __END__ came from Perl.  The behavior of Ruby
is also the same as Perl's.

Feature #1591: DATA handle unusable in required modules
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/1591

Author: Chris Davaz
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i686-linux]


=begin
 I have a Module defined in a file that gets required by a script. Inside the module I set a class variable:
 
 module MyModule
   class MyClass
     @@data = DATA.readlines
     def MyClass.getData
       return @@data
     end
     # ...
   end
 end
 
 __END__
 lots
 of
 words
 ...
 
 DATA is undefined! If I add an __END__ section to the script that requires my module, DATA becomes defined and it contains the data in the script. Obviously the way this works makes DATA + __END__ useless except for the one case where a person wants to access __END__ data from within their own script. I would think the more common case would be a module requires a bunch of data and it is convenient to just put that at the end of the file that contains the module and load it up when it gets required.
=end
