From: akr@... Date: 2019-02-07T07:02:20+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:91455] [Ruby trunk Feature#5653] "I strongly discourage the use of autoload in any standard libraries" (Re: autoload will be dead) Issue #5653 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka). I created [Feature #15592] for a feature to switch "autoload" behavior to "require" immediately to obtain both safety of eager loading and easier development of lazy loading. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5653: "I strongly discourage the use of autoload in any standard libraries" (Re: autoload will be dead) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5653#change-76714 * Author: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: Next Major ---------------------------------------- Hi, Today, I talked with NaHi about enhancing const_missing to enable autoload-like feature with nested modules. But autoload itself has fundamental flaw under multi-thread environment. I should have remove autoload when I added threads to the language (threads came a few months after autoload). So I hereby declare the future deprecation of autoload. Ruby will keep autoload for a while, since 2.0 should keep compatibility to 1.9. But you don't expect it will survive further future, e.g. 3.0. I strongly discourage the use of autoload in any standard libraries. matz. ---Files-------------------------------- noname (500 Bytes) 5653.pdf (38.3 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
