Losing track of a defined constant - possibly related to Module.autoload

[kamal.fariz@…]

There seems to be a bug in the interaction of autoload and requires. I tried hard to reduce this with no success. However, here is the smallest snippet that will illustrate this bug:

$ macruby -rubygems -rrack -r"rack/builder" -e "Rack::Builder"
core:in `require:': uninitialized constant Rack::Builder (NameError)

If you remove the require to "rack/builder", MacRuby will autoload Rack::Builder normally and no exception will be raised.

$ macruby -rubygems -rrack -e "Rack::Builder"

in rack.rb, it defines

autoload :Builder, "rack/builder"

Actually, #autoload has not been implemented yet.

Should be fixed in r2792.

$ macruby -rubygems -rrack -r"rack/builder" -e "Rack::Builder; p 42"
