Change in protected handling 2.3 -> 2.4,2.5

Bug #15255: Change in protected handling 2.3 -> 2.4,2.5

Description

It looks like when moving to 2.4 and higher, the access to protected method has changed. In the following case:

class Foo def bar(objects) objects.map(&:baz) end protected def baz self.inspect end end a = Foo.new; b = Foo.new a.bar([b]) 

The protected method '...' called will be raised. I haven't seen any explicit mention of this in the release notes.
It can be rewritten to successfully run as:

objects.map { |x| x.baz } 

But it was an unexpected change. (so potentially a bug?)

  • Status changed from Open to Rejected

Testing Ruby versions from 1.9 to 2.7, only Ruby 2.3 does not raise a NoMethodError for the example code. I think that can be considered a bug in Ruby 2.3. As Ruby 2.3 is no longer supported, the bug will not be fixed.
