Subject: [ruby-core:25143] Is this an intentional change in 1.9?

This came up on the ruby lang forum.

This seems like a 1.9 bug. Is it?

Subject: ||= with 1.8 and 1.9 ?
To: ruby-talk ML <ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org>


A friend of mine on Twitter recently posted this tidbit of code:

class OrOrEquals
�def test
� �@test
�end

�def test=(test)
� �@test = test
� �'not test'
�end
end

p (OrOrEquals.new.test = 'test')
# ruby 1.8 returns 'test'
# ruby 1.9 returns 'test'

p (OrOrEquals.new.test ||= 'test')
# ruby 1.8 returns 'test'
# ruby 1.9 returns 'not test'

It works as indicated. Is this -normal- behavior ?
