Overview

Place ‘when` conditions that use splat at the end of the list of `when` branches.

Ruby has to allocate memory for the splat expansion every time that the ‘case` `when` statement is run. Since Ruby does not support fall through inside of `case` `when`, like some other languages do, the order of the `when` branches does not matter. By placing any splat expansions at the end of the list of `when` branches we will reduce the number of times that memory has to be allocated for the expansion.

This is not a guaranteed performance improvement. If the data being processed by the ‘case` condition is normalized in a manner that favors hitting a condition in the splat expansion, it is possible that moving the splat condition to the end will use more memory, and run slightly slower.

Examples:

# bad
case foo
when *condition
  bar
when baz
  foobar
end

case foo
when *[1, 2, 3, 4]
  bar
when 5
  baz
end

# good
case foo
when baz
  foobar
when *condition
  bar
end

case foo
when 1, 2, 3, 4
  bar
when 5
  baz
end
