Subject: [ruby-core:48362] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5781] Query attributes (attribute methods ending in `?` mark)
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 06:31:52 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-31673.20121027063150@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-5781.20111220045711@ruby-lang.org
Issue #5781 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).
Target version changed from 2.0.0 to next minor
I changed target to next minor because no discussion on it.

Feature #5781: Query attributes (attribute methods ending in `?` mark)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5781#change-31673

Target version: next minor
Pretty sure this has come up before, but I'd like to revisit b/c I don't understand why it isn't allowed.
Sometimes I define "query" attributes, and in those cases I'd like the reader method to end in a `?` mark. Currently I have to do:
# @attribute
def foo?
@foo
end
or, if I don't mind a shadowing bare method,
attr :foo
alias_method :foo?, :foo
So why not just allow:
attr :foo?
Currently this causes an error. But why? It just seems like a waste of potentially cleaner code.
