[ruby-core:103193] [Ruby master Misc#17734] DevelopersMeeting20210416Japan

[merch-redmine@jeremyevans.net]

Issue #17734 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


* [Bug #17398] SyntaxError in endless method (jeremyevans0)
  * I don't believe this is a bug, but maybe it is a useful feature.
  * @mame has a patch that allows commands as the RHS of a endless method.
  * However, @mame's patch doesn't allow direct usage with method visibility methods such as private.
  * Do we want to support this syntax, or can this be closed (or moved to Feature)?
* [Bug #17403] Remove Fixnum and Bignum (jeremyevans0)
  * Do we want to remove Fixnum and Bignum in Ruby 3.1?
  * If not, can we decide on a later version where they can be removed, such as 3.2 or 4.0?
* [Bug #16983] RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of(method) returns meaningless node if the method is defined in eval (jeremyevans0)
  * `RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of(method)` relies on reading the file with the method source, which could have changed or could not exist at all.
  * I don't think we can work around that without keeping the abstract syntax tree or source code of all methods in memory, which seems wasteful.
  * Is the current behavior a bug, or should we just accept the current behavior as spec and close this?
* [Bug #9542] Delegator does not delegate protected methods (jeremyevans0)
  * Do we want to add a way to tell if a method was called with an implicit receiver or self?
  * We may be able to implement this via a VM frame flag and a method to check it.
  * If we don't want to add such a way, can we accept the current behavior as spec and close this?
* [Bug #11230] Should rb_struct_s_members() be public API? (jeremyevans0)
  * This is still public in the C-API.
  * Do we want to keep it and close this issue, or do we want to remove it?
  * If we want to remove it, how should it be deprecated?

# The next dev meeting

**Date: 2021/04/16 13:00-17:00**
Place/Sign-up/Agenda/Log: *TBD*

- Dev meeting *IS NOT* a decision-making place. All decisions should be done at the bug tracker.
- Dev meeting is a place we can ask Matz, nobu, nurse and other developers directly.
- Matz is a very busy person. Take this opportunity to ask him. If you can not attend, other attendees can ask instead of you (if attendees can understand your issue).
- We will write a log about the discussion to a file or to each ticket in English.
- All activities are best-effort (keep in mind that most of us are volunteer developers).
- The date, time and place are scheduled according to when/where we can reserve Matz's time.
- *DO NOT* discuss then on this ticket, please.

# Call for agenda items

If you have a ticket that you want matz and committers to discuss, please post it into this ticket in the following format:

```
* [Ticket ref] Ticket title (your name)
  * Comment (A summary of the ticket, why you put this ticket here, what point should be discussed, etc.)
```

Example:

```
* [Feature #14609] `Kernel#p` without args shows the receiver (ko1)
  * I feel this feature is very useful and some people say :+1: so let discuss this feature.
```

- It is recommended to add a comment by 2021/04/13. We hold a preparatory meeting to create an agenda a few days before the dev-meeting.
- The format is strict.  We'll use [this script to automatically create an markdown-style agenda](https://gist.github.com/mame/b0390509ce1491b43610b9ebb665eb86).  We may ignore a comment that does not follow the format.
- Your comment is mandatory. We cannot read all discussion of the ticket in a limited time. We appreciate it if you could write a short summary and update from a previous discussion.
