Evaluation order changed?

ruby-talk
1

the following does not work with ruby-1.7.2

$CFLAGS += " -I#{incdir}" if incdir = with_config(“db-include-dir”)

what works is

if incdir = with_config(“db-include-dir”)
$CFLAGS += " -I#{incdir}"
end

it was part of extconf.rb for ruby-dbi. Was there a change in evaluation
order?

Yes, changed. Every local variables should be assigned before its
reference in 1.7.2, even in expression interpolation.
