[ruby-core:96631] [Ruby master Bug#16473] New deprecated warning disallows keyword arguments bypassing

[merch-redmine@jeremyevans.net]

Issue #16473 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

This behavior is expected.  The positional hash argument is converted to keyword arguments when `kw` is called.  That is not going to work in Ruby 3 (see #14183), hence the warning.

For delegating argument to a method that accepts keywords, you should probably use `ruby2_keywords` (if you also need to support older ruby versions):

```ruby
ruby2_keywords :non_kw if respond_to?(:ruby2_keywords, true)
```

Bug #16473: New deprecated warning disallows keyword arguments bypassing

Hello. I see that ruby 2.7.0 prints unnecessary deprecated warning during arguments bypassing.

```ruby
def kw(a: 1)
  puts "kw #{a}"
end

def non_kw(a = {}, *args)
  puts "non kw #{a}"
  kw *args
end

non_kw({ :a => 2 }, :a => 2)
non_kw({ :a => 3 })
non_kw
```

The right output is:

```
non kw {:a=>2}
kw 2
non kw {:a=>3}
kw 1
non kw {}
kw 1
```

Ruby 2.7.0 provides deprecated warning:
```ruby
warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated; maybe ** should be added to the call
```

`*args` is bypassing arguments without any conversion. It looks like ruby converts last hash to keywords and than converts it back to hash. I think it is a bug.
