Array should not initialize its backing store in Array#initialize
Reported by Charles Oliver Nutter | February 26th, 2008 @ 10:20 PM | in 1.0 preview
Note the following code, which blows up because the Array's backing store is not initialized when [] is called:
class MyArray < Array
def initialize
self[0] = 1
end
end
MyArray.new
This is probably due to Array setting up its backing store in Array#initialize, which means it's not available for subclass #initialize implementations. The other classes with backing stores should probably be reviewed as well.
