Issue #17104 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier). > If you want to get a mutable string from an interpolated literal +"_#{method1}_", 2 allocation will be done instead of 1 Maybe the parser could understand `+"#{}"` and avoid that second allocation? The same way it understand `"".freeze`. Because I understand the consistency argument. "All string literals are frozen" is much easier to wrap your head around than "All string literals are frozen except the ones that are interpolated". ---------------------------------------- Feature #17104: Do not freeze interpolated strings when using frozen-string-literal https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17104#change-86954 * Author: bughit (bug hit) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- ```rb #frozen_string_literal: true def foo(str) "#{str}" end fr1 = 'a' fr2 = 'a' fr1_1 = foo(fr1) fr2_1 = foo(fr2) puts fr1.__id__, fr2.__id__, fr1_1.__id__, fr2_1.__id__ puts fr1_1 << 'b' ``` Isn't the point of frozen literals to avoid needless allocations? But interpolated strings are allocated each time, so freezing appears pointless. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
