Class: Method (Ruby 1.8.6)

meth == other_meth => true or false click to toggle source

Two method objects are equal if that are bound to the same object and contain the same body.

 
               static VALUE
method_eq(method, other)
    VALUE method, other;
{
    struct METHOD *m1, *m2;

    if (TYPE(other) != T_DATA || RDATA(other)->dmark != (RUBY_DATA_FUNC)bm_mark)
        return Qfalse;
    if (CLASS_OF(method) != CLASS_OF(other))
        return Qfalse;

    Data_Get_Struct(method, struct METHOD, m1);
    Data_Get_Struct(other, struct METHOD, m2);

    if (m1->klass != m2->klass || m1->rklass != m2->rklass ||
        m1->recv != m2->recv || m1->body != m2->body)
        return Qfalse;

    return Qtrue;
}

meth[args, ...] => obj click to toggle source

Invokes the meth with the specified arguments, returning the method's return value.

m = 12.method("+")
m.call(3)    #=> 15
m.call(20)   #=> 32

 
               static VALUE
method_call(argc, argv, method)
    int argc;
    VALUE *argv;
    VALUE method;

    struct METHOD *data;
    int safe;

    POP_ITER();
    return result;
}

arity => fixnum click to toggle source

Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.

class C

  def two(a); end
  def three(*a);  end
  def four(a, b); end

end

c.method(:two).arity     #=> 1
c.method(:three).arity   #=> -1
c.method(:four).arity    #=> 2
c.method(:five).arity    #=> -3
c.method(:six).arity     #=> -3

unbind => unbound_method click to toggle source

Dissociates meth from it's current receiver. The resulting UnboundMethod can subsequently be bound to a new object of the same class (see UnboundMethod).

    VALUE method;

    data->klass = orig->klass;
    data->recv = Qundef;
    data->id = orig->id;
    data->body = orig->body;
    data->rklass = orig->rklass;
    data->oid = orig->oid;
    OBJ_INFECT(method, obj);
