Subject: [ruby-core:120602] [Ruby master Misc#21025] What's the default encoding of `String.new`?
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2025 16:57:15 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.issue-21025.20250110165715.7174@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <redmine.issue-21025.20250110165715.7174@ruby-lang.org>
Issue #21025 has been reported by deivid (David Rodríguez).
----------------------------------------
Misc #21025: What's the default encoding of `String.new`?
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21025
* Author: deivid (David Rodríguez)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
In the documentation (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.4/encodings_rdoc.html#label-String+Encoding) I see a good explanation of default string encodings:
However, it does not mention `String.new` without an argument, which is the one case where I see inconsistent behavior.
```
irb(main):001> "".encoding
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):002> String.new("").encoding
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):003> String.new(a="").encoding
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):004> String.new.encoding
=> #<Encoding:BINARY (ASCII-8BIT)>
```
Should this be documented or changed?
