Hello, In message "Marshal format "safe"?" on 03/08/06, Ryan Pavlik <rpav / users.sf.net> writes: |Basically, I'm just asking the question: is the Marshal format "safe", |at least in 1.8.0 final? Define "safe" first. I have no plan to change marshal format in the future, so that after 1.8.0, it should be version safe. I tried hard to make it very difficult to crash Ruby with a bad (or hand-written) marshal data. So it should be input safe as long as limited resources, like memory, are available. matz.
