Subject: [ruby-core:43442] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4523] Kernel#require to return the path of the loaded file


Issue #4523 has been updated by nobu.


I don't think it's useful if it may return false.
What's the use case?
I agree that the way to know the loaded path would be useful sometimes, but this doesn't seem nice.

=begin
It's very useful to be able to tell which actual file on disc was loaded following a call to require, without having to manually traverse $LOAD_PATH. This information is also not guaranteed to be in $LOADED_FEATURES.

The attached patch alters rb_require_safe's return value to indicate the loaded file iff a file is actually loaded.
