               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 58
def add_alias an_alias, context = nil
  method = self.class.new an_alias.text, an_alias.new_name

Prefix for aref is ‘method’.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 75
def aref_prefix
  'method'
end

arglists() click to toggle source

The #call_seq or the #param_seq with method name, if there is no call_seq.

Use this for displaying a method’s argument lists.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 84

    "#{name}#{param_seq}"
  end
end

marshal_dump() click to toggle source

Dumps this AnyMethod for use by ri. See also marshal_load

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 95
def marshal_dump
  aliases = @aliases.map do |a|
    [a.name, parse(a.comment)]

               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 125
def marshal_load array
  initialize_visibility

  @dont_rename_initialize = nil
  @is_alias_for           = nil

  @visibility    = array[4]
  @comment       = array[5]
  @call_seq      = array[6]
  @block_params  = array[7]
  #                      8 handled below
  @params        = array[9]
  #                      10 handled below
  @calls_super   = array[11]
  @parent_name   = array[12]
  @parent_title  = array[13]
  @section_title = array[14]

  array[8].each do |new_name, comment|
    add_alias RDoc::Alias.new(nil, @name, new_name, comment, @singleton)
  end

  @parent_name ||= if @full_name =~ /#/ then
                     $`
                   else
                     name = @full_name.split('::')
                     name.pop
                     name.join '::'
                   end

  @file = RDoc::TopLevel.new array[10] if version > 0
end

name() click to toggle source

Method name

If the method has no assigned name, it extracts it from call_seq.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 174
def name
  return @name if @name

  @name = @call_seq[/^.*?\.(\w+)/, 1] || @call_seq if @call_seq
end

param_list() click to toggle source

A list of this method’s method and yield parameters. call-seq params are preferred over parsed method and block params.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 184
def param_list
  if @call_seq then
    params = @call_seq.split("\n").last
    params = params.sub(/.*?\((.*)\)/, '\1')
    params = params.sub(/(\{|do)\s*\|([^|]*)\|.*/, ',\2')
  elsif @params then
    params = @params.sub(/\((.*)\)/, '\1')

    params << ",#{@block_params}" if @block_params
  elsif @block_params then
    params = @block_params
  else
    return []
  end

  params = params.gsub(/\s+/, '').split ','

  params.map { |param| param.sub(/=.*/, '') }
end

param_seq() click to toggle source

Pretty parameter list for this method. If the method’s parameters were given by call-seq it is preferred over the parsed values.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 208
def param_seq
  if @call_seq then
    params = @call_seq.split("\n").last
    params = params.sub(/[^( ]+/, '')
    params = params.sub(/(\|[^|]+\|)\s*\.\.\.\s*(end|\})/, '\1 \2')
  elsif @params then
    params = @params.gsub(/\s*\#.*/, '')
    params = params.tr("\n", " ").squeeze(" ")
    params = "(#{params})" unless params[0] == (
  else
    params = ''
  end

  if @block_params then
    # If this method has explicit block parameters, remove any explicit
    # &block
    params.sub!(/,?\s*&\w+/, '')

    block = @block_params.gsub(/\s*\#.*/, '')
    block = block.tr("\n", " ").squeeze(" ")
    if block[0] == (
      block.sub!(/^\(/, '').sub!(/\)/, '')
    end
    params << " { |#{block}| ... }"
  end

  params
end

store=(store) click to toggle source

Sets the store for this method and its referenced code objects.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 240
def store= store
  super

  @file = @store.add_file @file.full_name if @file
end

superclass_method() click to toggle source

For methods that super, find the superclass method that would be called.

 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 249
def superclass_method
  return unless @calls_super
  return @superclass_method if @superclass_method

  parent.each_ancestor do |ancestor|
    if method = ancestor.method_list.find { |m| m.name == @name } then
      @superclass_method = method
      break
    end
  end

  @superclass_method
end
