Issue #14364 has been updated by long_long_float (kazuki niimi).


This may be a specification. [This](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/ja/latest/method/Kernel/v/=7e.html)(it's written in japanese) page says `$~` is local scope and thread local.

The following code describes this behavior. The `a` can be referred at `my_proc`, but it cannot be referrd at `ScanChecker` (the initial value of `$ ~` is nil).

```ruby
a = 10

class ScanChecker
  def block
    Proc.new do
      puts a # error
      puts "$~ is #{$~}"
    end
  end
end

puts 'Checking with a Proc from same scope'

my_proc = Proc.new do
  puts a # => 10
  puts "$~ is #{$~}"
end

'hello'.scan(/l/, &my_proc)

puts 'Checking with a Proc.'

checker = ScanChecker.new
'hello'.scan(/l/, &checker.block)
```

Bug #14364: Regexp last match variable in procs
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14364#change-74030

* Author: aardvark179 (Duncan MacGregor)

* ruby -v: 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux]

----------------------------------------
While working on TruffleRuby's regexp variables implementation I found the following behaviour when comparing our behaviour with MRI 2.3.5 and 2.5.0.

Some core methods such as `String#scan` take an optional block argument, and if this is a literal block then each time it is yielded to the `$~` variable will have been set. However, if the block is a proc that was not defined in the caller's scope then `$~` does not appear to get set or is inaccessible.

The following test script demonstrates the problem.

~~~ ruby
class ScanChecker
  def block
    Proc.new do
      puts "$~ is #{$~}"
    end
  end
end

puts 'Checking with literal block.'

'hello'.scan(/l/) do
  puts "$~ is #{$~}"
end    

puts 'Checking with a Proc from same scope'

my_proc = Proc.new do
  puts "$~ is #{$~}"
end    

'hello'.scan(/l/, &my_proc)

puts 'Checking with a Proc.'

checker = ScanChecker.new
'hello'.scan(/l/, &checker.block)
~~~

I would have expected the `$~` to be set in all cases, but I'm not sure if that is the intended behaviour.
