[ruby-core:55728] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8579] Frozen string syntax

From: "charliesome (Charlie Somerville)" <charliesome@...>
Date: 2013-07-01 07:50:00 UTC
List: ruby-core #55728
Issue #8579 has been updated by charliesome (Charlie Somerville).


mame, is there a precedent of using modifiers on non-regexp literals?

I'm not against your proposal, but it would be odd for this particular feature to introduce a new syntax.

Also, if we used a modifier, how would that affect other types of percent literals like %w or %i?

Feature #8579: Frozen string syntax
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8579#change-40228

Author: charliesome (Charlie Somerville)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: syntax
Target version: current: 2.1.0


I'd like to propose a new type of string literal - %f().

Because Ruby strings are mutable, every time a string literal is evaluated a new String object must be duped.

It's quite common to see code that stores a frozen String object into a constant which is then reused for performance reasons. Example: https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/master/lib/rack/methodoverride.rb

A new %f() string literal would instead evaluate to the same frozen String object every time. The benefit of this syntax is that it removes the need to pull string literals away from where they are used.

Here's an example of the proposed %f() syntax in action:

    def foo
      ["bar".object_id, %f(bar).object_id]
    end

    p foo # might print "[123, 456]"

    p foo # might print "[789, 456]"

These string literals could also be stored into a global refcounted table for deduplication across the entire program, futher reducing memory usage.

If this proposal is accepted, I can handle implementation work.
