Issue #14279 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).


> I think something like a TypeError should be raised in such a case.

```ruby
a = 13
p(*a) #=> 13
```

So that this case is similar to `super(13)`.

Ruby 2.2 to 2.5 have same issue.
Thank you for your report.

Bug #14279: Modifying splat argument causes segmentation fault
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14279#change-69209

* Author: coreycerovsek (Corey Cerovsek)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.5.0rc1 (2017-12-14 trunk 61243) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Using Docker Ruby images ruby:2.2 through ruby:rc as of 2018-01-03, this little bit of code causes a segmentation fault:

~~~
class A 
  def x(*args)
    args = 13
    super
  end
end
A.new.x
~~~

I'm not sure what the behavior of super ought to be here, and it doesn't seem to be addressed by The Ruby Spec Suite, but with Ruby 2.1 (Docker ruby:2.1) this causes a "no superclass method" exception rather than crashing the interpreter. I'm guessing this has to do with the optimization in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10440
