const initialization

David Weldon

1/17/2007 9:25:00 PM

I think ruby does something strange when it decides if certain constants
have been initialized or not. Take this simple case:

#test.rb
require 'const'
require '/home/dave/foo/const'

#const.rb
DAVE=1

When I run this I get:

/home/dave/foo/const.rb:1: warning: already initialized constant DAVE

...and yes, const.rb is the same one used for both test1.rb and
test2.rb. It seems like ruby hashes the paths to the source files and
complains when they are different - even if both paths reference the
same file in the filesystem. Is there a good way to avoid this? Thanks!

It has nothing to do with constants in particular, but (as you were
referring to at the end) whether or not Ruby thinks two required files
are the same. See this:

C:\>type tmp.rb
p( require( 'const' ) )
p( require( 'const.rb' ) )
p( require( 'c:/const.rb' ) )

C:\>ruby tmp.rb
true
false
c:/const.rb:1: warning: already initialized constant FOO
true

The 'false' means that Ruby could tell that it was the same file, and
didn't re-include it. The last 'true' means that Ruby didn't realize
that the two path specifications ended pointed to the same file, and
re-included it. That's when the warning goes off.

Where did he call those things socialist?

If you can't TROLL any better than that then you need to go back to
the kiddie groups where your intellect can be more at home.

Bull. Capitalism and freedom made us a great nation. Socialism has turned
us back in the opposite direction.

Interstate highways? Do you really think two states couldn't figure out how
to make a road meet at the border without the help of Washington DC taking
billions in tax money then giving it back to the states, after keeping an
obscene percentage for 'expenses'?

And that little side issue about blackmailing the states into doing things
their way or they withhold those funds? That doesn't bother you?

Of course you don't. Liberals have contempt for everyone who isn't them.

He probably thinks that every time the US Cavalry showed up to save a
wagon train from an Indian attack, a socialist got his wings.
