[ruby-core:100075] [Ruby master Bug#17007] SystemStackError when using super inside Module included and lexically inside refinement

[merch-redmine@jeremyevans.net]

Issue #17007 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Closed to Assigned

To restore compatibility with Ruby 2.7 and fix #17182, I've reverted commit:eeef16e190cdabc2ba474622720f8e3df7bac43b at commit:179384a66862d5ef7413b6f4850b97d0becf4ec9.

@shugo, I would appreciate your input here on how refinements should be handled in this case.

```ruby
class C
  def foo
    ["C"]
  end
end

refinement = Module.new do
  R = refine C do
    def foo
      ["R"] + super
    end

    include Module.new {
      def foo
        ["M"] + super
      end
    }
  end
end

using refinement
p C.new.foo
```

gives

```
$ ruby bug_refine_super.rb

```

OTOH defining the module lexically outside of `refine` works:
```ruby
m = Module.new {
  def foo
    ["M"] + super
  end
}
refinement = Module.new do
  R = refine C do
    def foo
      ["R"] + super
    end

    include m
  end
end

# result: ["R", "M", "C"]
```
