Some unexpected behaviour
When using Array as default value, it behaves more like cattr_accessor…
class A attr_accessor_with_default :b, [] end x = A.new x.b << 1 #puts x.b.inspect => [1] y = A.new y.b << 2 #puts y.b.inspect => [1, 2]

Use Ruby instead!
E.g.
class TestClass < SomeSuperClass attr_accessor :sample_acc def initialize @sample_acc = [] super end end
If nil is not a valid value for this accessor, then you can just define reader for it.
class TestClass attr_accessor :sample_acc def sample_acc @sample_acc ||= 98 end end
