<div dir="ltr">hmmm I'm not sure it is a good idea because it goes against the expected return value of #ensure:<br><div>I mean, #valueEnsured is just a shortcut for [] ensure: [...], and #ensure: returns the return value of evaluating the receiver block, not the parameter block. The receiver block is [] so it should return nil ([] value).</div><div>Currently it is not returning nil because it is implemented like this:</div><div>[] ensure: self<br></div><div>and it should be:</div><div>^[] ensure: self</div><div><br></div><div>Now I'm thinking... I do not understand the need for #valueEnsured, why not just send #value to the block?

Thank you!!</div><div><br></div><div>And now, because I'm inconsistent (that is, human :-) ), I'm not sure #valueEnsured has to keep the semantics of the return value of #ensure:, it could not if there is a need for what you are suggesting.</div><div>Anyway, I'd like to understand why #valueEnsured is needed.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div>Hernan.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 8:34 AM Jaromir Matas via Cuis-dev <<a href="mailto:cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st">cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg3878518906851524794"> <div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"> <div class="m_6863252944530188061WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal">Hi Juan, all,</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I’d expect this example return 1 instead of a block (for general usage); what do you think?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <p class="MsoNormal">[1] valueEnsured</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Enclosed is a suggestion how to make it return 1.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Best,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jaromir</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <p class="m_6863252944530188061MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="CS">--</span></p> <p class="m_6863252944530188061MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-weight:normal">Jaromír Matas</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85)"><u></u><u></u></span></p> <p class="m_6863252944530188061MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(46,117,182)"><a href="mailto:mail@jaromir.net" target="_blank">mail@jaromir.net</a><u></u><u></u></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(143,170,220)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> </div> </div> -- <br> Cuis-dev mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st" target="_blank">Cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st</a><br> <a href="https://lists.cuis.st/mailman/listinfo/cuis-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.cuis.st/mailman/listinfo/cuis-dev</a><br> </div></blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;border-collapse:collapse"><strong><span style="font-size:8pt"><span style="font-size:small"><font size="2"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:bold">Hernán Wilkinson</span><br>Agile Software Development, Teaching & Coaching</span></font></span></span></strong></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;border-collapse:collapse"><strong><span style="font-size:8pt"><span style="font-size:small"><font size="2"><span style="font-weight:normal">Phone: +54-011</span></font></span></span></strong></span><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="2">-4893-2057</font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><strong style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:xx-small"><span style="font-size:8pt"><span style="font-size:small"><font size="2"><span style="font-weight:normal">Twitter: @HernanWilkinson</span></font></span></span></strong></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;border-collapse:collapse"><strong><span style="font-size:8pt"><span style="font-size:small"><font size="2"><span style="font-weight:normal">site: <a href="http://www.10pines.com/" style="color:rgb(17,65,112)" target="_blank">http://www.10Pines.com</a></span></font></span></span></strong></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="border-collapse:collapse">Address: Alem 896</span></font>, Floor 6, Buenos Aires, Argentina</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
