double destroy should only decrement counters once

Reported by Ben Tucker | March 24th, 2009 @ 12:39 AM | in 3.x

  1. call destroy on an object with a belongs_to association with counter_cache turned on
  2. call destroy a second time on same object

Expected behavior: counter_cache is decremented once since a total of one object was removed Actual behavior: counter_cache is decremented twice

Proposed patch solves this but in a non-ideal way since it adds a call to AR::B#exists? prior to every destroy. Presently when AR::B#destroy is called it freezes the object. We could check AR::B#frozen? instead, but this would also catch cases of frozen objects which have not yet been deleted.

The ideal solution would be an AR::B#destroyed? methods which could tell us if AR::B#destroy had been successfully called on the object.
