[BUG] :""[] segfaults Ruby

[Florian Gross]

Moin!

C:\>ruby
:""[]
-:1: empty symbol literal
:""[]
^
-:1: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]

%s[][123] does the same thing.

This seems to crash every Ruby newer than 1.6.8 independent of the
platform it's running on. (I'm not sure about 1.7.x however.)

Regards,

Thank you for the report. Fixed now.

This seems to crash every Ruby newer than 1.6.8 independent of the
platform it's running on. (I'm not sure about 1.7.x however.)

Symbol literal has been introduced since 23 Oct 2002. So only
1.8.0 has this bug.
