by definition not, I would never bet on it,
Knowing you I know that you probably know that you can do this
Struct.new( *(k = h.keys) ).new( *h.values_at( *k ) )
and are after something else, I however think that the above construct
might be of interest for other readers
However it seems that somehow it works in ruby and jruby

If you really want to use this, you need confirmation of a code Guru of course.

It's reliable; it's not thread-safe (making it potentially unreliable).

It should work, but it causes me discomfort, too. I prefer this:
k,v = h.to_a.transpose
Struct.new(*k).new(*v)

Hash iterates in the definite order until it's modified, not at
random each time. It's just hard to predict. So it should
work if it's not modified between getting keys and values.

Do you believe this behavior should be "defined" in other words if I
were writing my Ruby interpreter should I implement it this way?
Personally I think it is a little bit against Hash's nature and (just
a joke Xavier) if Perl does it that way, shall we?

Thanks all. Good to understand --notably the thread safety. I'll use
Robert's or Greg's suggestion.
Seems like it would be nice to have a way to generate a one time
Struct object like one can an OpenStruct. But in anycase....
Thanks,
T.

that is nice
Kinda makes me want a flag or environment variable that WILL iterate through a hash randomly every time...
ruby --pain hash_to_struct.rb
should fail every time as written above.
It would help drive out a number of subtle and damn hard to debug bugs out there.

It's "reliable" given the default implementation, but it is not
guaranteed for all implementations (even if the current jruby
implementaton works). Bottom line is, don't rely on implementation
details for your code to go through (if you can help it).

Not for long though. I'm under the impression that as of 1.9,
insertion order is going to be "spec".

Yeah, but that's still just Nobu's implementation. Until we have a
solid, implementation independent grammar (http://rubyforge.org/
projects/rubygrammar seems to be stalled), you're relying on
implementation details. But that may be all we have for a while. As
long as you're aware of that fact, go for it.

Jordan
