[ruby-dev:50954] [Ruby master Bug#9815] attr_reader doesn't warn on a uninitialized instance variable

[eregontp]

Issue #9815 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


What was the rationale here to have different behavior?

Which C function is used by `attr_reader` seems an implementation detail.

attr_reader で定義したメソッドでは、-w 時に、未設定の警告「warning: instance variable @bar not initialized」みたいなのが出ないんですが、そういうもんでしょうか。

~~~ruby
class C
  attr_reader :foo
  def bar; @bar; end
end
C.new.foo
C.new.bar #=> t.rb:4: warning: instance variable @bar not initialized
~~~

この例では、foo と bar は、同じ意味だと思って居たのでびっくりした次第です。
