redeclaring method issue #57

Closed Porcupine96 closed 7 years ago

Porcupine96 commented 7 years ago

Redefining method with the same name causes that all previous usages of that method are recalled again.

For example:

duplicate method call

Is that expected behaviour?

Hey, thanks for reporting.

It's not what we'd like to see, but it's totally expected behaviour if you take into consideration how ICR is implemented: https://github.com/crystal-community/icr#how-does-it-work Keep in mind, that ICR is not a proper REPL, but rather a very hacky workaround for something REPL-like.

You may see unexpected behaviour working with network, file system, random numbers... Since there is no way to fix it, I am gonna close the issue.
