eileencodes 6e8ec9ab6d Support passing a category to Warning.warn
This change adds a `category` kwarg to make it easier to monkey patch
`Warning.warn`. Warnings already have a category, but that warning isn't
exposed. This implements a way to get the category so that warnings with
a specific category, like deprecated, can be treated differently than
other warnings in an application.

The change here does an arity check on the method to support backwards
compatibility for applications that may already have a warning monkey
patch.

For our usecase we want to `raise` for deprecation warnings in order to
get the behavior for the next Ruby version. For example, now that we
fixed all our warnings and deployed Ruby 2.7 to production, we want to
be able to have deprecation warnings behave like they would in 3.0: raise
an error. For other warnings, like uninialized constants, that behavior
won't be removed from Ruby in the next version, so we don't need to
raise errors.

# NEWS for Ruby 3.0.0
This document is a list of user visible feature changes
since the **2.7.0** release, except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or reference
information is supplied with. For a full list of changes with all
sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file or Redmine
(e.g. `https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/$FEATURE_OR_BUG_NUMBER`).
## Language changes
* Keyword arguments are now separated from positional arguments.
Code that resulted in deprecation warnings in Ruby 2.7 will now
result in ArgumentError or different behavior. [[Feature #14183]]
* Arguments forwarding (`...`) now supports leading arguments.
[[Feature #16378]]
```ruby
def method_missing(meth, ...)
send(:"do_#{meth}", ...)
end
```
* Procs accepting a single rest argument and keywords are no longer
subject to autosplatting. This now matches the behavior of Procs
accepting a single rest argument and no keywords.
[[Feature #16166]]
```ruby
pr = proc{|*a, **kw| [a, kw]}
pr.call([1])
# 2.7 => [[1], {}]
# 3.0 => [[[1]], {}]
pr.call([1, {a: 1}])
# 2.7 => [[1], {:a=>1}] # and deprecation warning
# 3.0 => [[[1, {:a=>1}]], {}]
```
* $SAFE is now a normal global variable with no special behavior.
C-API methods related to $SAFE have been removed.
[[Feature #16131]]
* yield in singleton class definitions in methods is now a SyntaxError
instead of a warning. yield in a class definition outside of a method
is now a SyntaxError instead of a LocalJumpError. [[Feature #15575]]
* Find pattern is added. [[Feature #16828]]
```ruby
case ["a", 1, "b", "c", 2, "d", "e", "f", 3]
in [*pre, String => x, String => y, *post]
p pre #=> ["a", 1]
p x #=> "b"
p y #=> "c"
p post #=> [2, "d", "e", "f", 3]
end
```
* When a class variable is overtaken by the same definition in an
ancestor class/module, a RuntimeError is now raised (previously,
it only issued a warning in verbose mode. Additionally, accessing a
class variable from the toplevel scope is now a RuntimeError.
[[Bug #14541]]
* Rightward assignment statement is added. [EXPERIMENTAL]
[[Feature #15921]]
```ruby
fib(10) => x
```
* Endless method definition is added. [EXPERIMENTAL]
[[Feature #16746]]
```ruby
def square(x) = x * x
```
## Command line options
### `--help` option
When the environment variable `RUBY_PAGER` or `PAGER` is present and has
non-empty value, and the standard input and output are tty, `--help`
option shows the help message via the pager designated by the value.
[[Feature #16754]]
## Core classes updates
Outstanding ones only.
* Dir
* Modified method
* Dir.glob and Dir.[] now sort the results by default, and
accept `sort:` keyword option. [[Feature #8709]]
* ENV
* New method
* ENV.except, which returns a hash excluding the given keys
and their values. [[Feature #15822]]
* Hash
* Modified method
* Hash#transform_keys now accepts a hash that maps keys to new
keys. [[Feature #16274]]
* New method
* Hash#except, which returns a hash excluding the given keys
and their values. [[Feature #15822]]
* Kernel
* Modified method
* Kernel#clone when called with `freeze: false` keyword will call
`#initialize_clone` with the `freeze: false` keyword.
[[Bug #14266]]
* Kernel#clone when called with `freeze: true` keyword will call
`#initialize_clone` with the `freeze: true` keyword, and will
return a frozen copy even if the receiver is unfrozen.
[[Feature #16175]]
* Kernel#eval when called with two arguments will use "(eval)"
for `__FILE__` and 1 for `__LINE__` in the evaluated code.
[[Bug #4352]]
* Kernel#lambda now warns if called without a literal block.
[[Feature #15973]]
* Module
* Modified method
* Module#include and #prepend now affect classes and modules that
have already included or prepended the receiver, mirroring the
behavior if the arguments were included in the receiver before
the other modules and classes included or prepended the receiver.
[[Feature #9573]]
```ruby
class C; end
module M1; end
module M2; end
C.include M1
M1.include M2
p C.ancestors #=> [C, M1, M2, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
```
* Symbol
* Modified method
* Symbol#to_proc now returns a lambda Proc.
[[Feature #16260]]
* Warning
* Modified method
* Warning#warn now supports a category kwarg.
[[Feature #17122]]
## Stdlib updates
Outstanding ones only.
* RubyGems
* Update to RubyGems 3.2.0.pre1
* Bundler
* Update to Bundler 2.2.0.dev
* Net::HTTP
* New method
* Add Net::HTTP#verify_hostname= and Net::HTTP#verify_hostname
to skip hostname verification. [[Feature #16555]]
* Modified method
* Net::HTTP.get, Net::HTTP.get_response, and Net::HTTP.get_print can
take request headers as a Hash in the second argument when the first
argument is a URI. [[Feature #16686]]
* Tempfile
* Modified method
* `Tempfile.open { ... }` will now unlink the file at the end of the
block (https://github.com/ruby/tempfile/pull/3), such that once the
block finishes execution nothing leaks.
## Compatibility issues
Excluding feature bug fixes.
* Regexp literals are frozen [[Feature #8948]] [[Feature #16377]]
```ruby
/foo/.frozen? #=> true
```
* EXPERIMENTAL: Hash#each consistently yields a 2-element array [[Bug #12706]]
* Now `{ a: 1 }.each(&->(k, v) { })` raises an ArgumentError
due to lambda's arity check.
* This is experimental; if it brings a big incompatibility issue,
it may be reverted until 2.8/3.0 release.
* When writing to STDOUT redirected to a closed pipe, no broken pipe
error message will be shown now. [[Feature #14413]]
* `TRUE`/`FALSE`/`NIL` constants are no longer defined.
* `Integer#zero?` overrides `Numeric#zero?` for optimization. [[Misc #16961]]
## Stdlib compatibility issues
* Default gems
* The following libraries are promoted the default gems from stdlib.
* English
* erb
* find
* io-nonblock
* io-wait
* net-ftp
* net-http
* net-imap
* net-protocol
* optparse
* rinda
* set
* tempfile
* tmpdir
* weakref
* Bundled gems
* net-telnet and xmlrpc have been removed from the bundled gems.
If you are interested in maintaining them, please comment on
your plan to https://github.com/ruby/xmlrpc
or https://github.com/ruby/net-telnet.
* SDBM have been removed from ruby standard library. [[Bug #8446]]
* The issues of sdbm will be handled at https://github.com/ruby/sdbm
## C API updates
* C API functions related to $SAFE have been removed.
[[Feature #16131]]
* C API header file `ruby/ruby.h` was split. [[GH-2991]] Should have no impact
on extension libraries, but users might experience slow compilations.
## Implementation improvements
* New method cache mechanism for Ractor [[Feature #16614]]
* TODO: ko1 will write details
* The number of hashes allocated when using a keyword splat in
a method call has been reduced to a maximum of 1, and passing
a keyword splat to a method that accepts specific keywords
does not allocate a hash.
* `super` is optimized when the same type of method is called in the previous call
if it's not refinements or an attr reader or writer.
### JIT
* Native functions shared by multiple methods are deduplicated on JIT compaction.
* Decrease code size of hot paths by some optimizations and partitioning cold paths.
* Not only pure Ruby methods but also some C methods skip pushing a method frame.
* `Kernel#class`, `Integer#zero?`
* Always generate appropriate code for `==`, `nil?`, and `!` calls depending on
a receiver class.
* Optimize instance variable access in some core classes like Hash and their subclasses
* Eliminate VM register access on a method return
* Optimize C method call a little
## Miscellaneous changes
* Methods using `ruby2_keywords` will no longer keep empty keyword
splats, those are now removed just as they are for methods not
using `ruby2_keywords`.
* Taint deprecation warnings are now issued in regular mode in
addition to verbose warning mode. [[Feature #16131]]
* When an exception is caught in the default handler, the error
message and backtrace are printed in order from the innermost.
