From: "matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) via ruby-core" Date: 2025-02-14T08:37:49+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:121043] [Ruby master Feature#20971] Deprecate `rb_path_check` Issue #20971 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). OK, let's deprecate this function. Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #20971: Deprecate `rb_path_check` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20971#change-111951 * Author: Earlopain (Earlopain _) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- With #16131, various code around $SAFE, taint, etc. has been deprecated and removed. GH PR https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2476. Now, [`rb_path_check`] still exists as part of the public API, with Ruby itself never using or testing it. I believe it should have been deprecated and was simply missed. Should it be deprecated today or is that not worth the effort? Docs for it are pretty vague: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/33f95d632dce42fac35da29eaed33f0a5a4f0dcb/include/ruby/internal/intern/hash.h#L289-L297 > This function is mysterious. What it does is not immediately obvious. Also what it does seems platform dependent.
