|
|
|

=== Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
|
2013-03-07 12:54:49 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2014-03-02 13:01:55 -05:00
|
|
|
* IO
|
|
|
|
* incompatible changes:
|
|
|
|
* When flushing file IO, you cannot assume that the metadata of the file
|
|
|
|
is updated immediately. On some platforms (especially Windows), it is
|
2014-03-02 17:18:38 -05:00
|
|
|
delayed until the filesystem load is decreased.
|
2014-05-03 01:28:46 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Math
|
|
|
|
* incompatible changes:
|
|
|
|
* Math.log now raises Math::DomainError instead of returning NaN if the
|
|
|
|
base is less than 0, and returns NaN instead of -infinity if both of
|
|
|
|
two arguments are 0.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-03-14 00:29:36 -04:00
|
|
|
* Proc
|
|
|
|
* incompatible changes:
|
|
|
|
* ArgumentError is no longer raised when lambda Proc is passed as a
|
|
|
|
block, and the number of yielded arguments does not match the formal
|
|
|
|
arguments of the lambda, if just an array is yielded and its length
|
|
|
|
matches.

* struct RBignum is hidden. [Feature #6083]

2014-02-14 21:47:19 -05:00
|
|
|
Use rb_integer_pack and rb_integer_unpack instead.
|
2014-03-22 19:34:21 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2014-04-22 05:52:06 -04:00
|
|
|
* rb_big_new and rb_big_resize takes a size_t instead of long.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rb_num2ulong returns an unsigned long instead of VALUE.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-03-22 19:34:21 -04:00
|
|
|
* st hash table uses power-of-two sizes for speed [Feature #9425].
|
|
|
|
Lookups are 10-25% faster if using appropriate hash functions.
|
|
|
|
However, weaknesses in hash distribution can no longer be masked
|
|
|
|
by prime number-sized tables, so extensions may need to tweak
|
|
|
|
hash functions to ensure good distribution.
|
2014-03-26 10:19:10 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rb_sym2str() added. This is almost same as `rb_id2str(SYM2ID(sym))`
|
|
|
|
but not pinning a dynamic symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* struct RSymbol added. This represents a dynamic symbol as object in
|
|
|
|
Ruby's heaps.
|
2014-04-17 01:22:57 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rb_str_cat_cstr() added. This is same as `rb_str_cat2()`.
|
2014-04-18 08:48:26 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `rb_str_substr()` and `rb_str_subseq()` now share middle of a string,
|
|
|
|
but not only the end of a string. Therefore, result strings may not
|
2014-04-18 11:11:35 -04:00
|
|
|
be NUL-terminated, `StringValueCStr()` is needed calling to obtain a
|
|
|
|
NUL-terminated C string.
