Ruby1.9与Ruby1.8的不兼容处

1. formal argument cannot be an instance variable:
   In ruby1.8 it’s possible to use an instance variable as a block argument:

   class Foo
     attr_accessor :bar
     def test
        [1,2,3].each {|@bar| }
        # @bar will be 3 here
     end
   end

   This no longer works in ruby1.9, you as it always creates a new local variable block argument. The equivalent in ruby1.9:

   class Foo
     attr_accessor :bar
     def test
        [1,2,3].each {|bar| @bar=bar }
        # @bar will be 3 here
     end
   end

2. warning: shadowing outer local variable:
   In ruby1.9 the block arguments are always local to block, in ruby1.8 if there’s an existing variable with the same name, the block parameter will use that one:

   i = 0
   [1,2,3].each {|i| }
   puts i

   This will print 0 in ruby1.9, as the variables named i inside/outside the block are different, and 3 inruby1.8, as here the block reuses the outside variable i.

   As with most warning, this warning doesn’t means that your code is incorrect, only that it might be incorrect.
   For example the code bellow works the same in ruby1.9 and 1.8:

   options = options.inject({}) do |options,pair|
     options[pair.first.to_sym] = pair.last.to_sym; options
   end

   It still makes sense to rewrite the above code just to supress warnings.

   Note: You should set RUBYOPT to -w, or start your program with ruby -w, for this warning to show up

3. syntax error, unexpected ‘,’, expecting tASSOC
   ruby1.8 supports , in hash definition, in 1.9 you have to use =>.

   So the following valid ruby1.8:

   {"a","b"}

   has to be rewritten in ruby1.9:

   {"a" => "b"}

4. invalid multibyte char:
   the default encoding in ruby 1.9 for files is US-ASCII, if you have a non ASCII character in your text file you have to specify the encoding of the source code. You can do it by adding the following line to yourruby file:

   # coding
