Indeed. I still do not understand all the details of Marshal though and why instance variables are touched for classes with marshal_{dump,load}.

Anyway, for frozen objects it feels righter to use _dump/self._load which allows to freeze easily at initialization.

Backport #8276: Marshal.load modifies restored object after calling #marshal_load

Given this code, a simple class freezing instances on creation (so they are immutable):

class T
  def initialize(data)
    @data = data
    freeze
  end

  def marshal_dump
    @data
  end

  def marshal_load data
    initialize(data)
  end
end

t = T.new("dd")
s = Marshal.dump(t)
p Marshal.load(s) # =>  ...:in `load': can't modify frozen T (RuntimeError)


Freezing on creation from Marshal is needed to ensure immutability and it seems the right place to do it.
It used to work (ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-07-15 trunk 36395) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0] did fine).
