Support for the Ruby 2.4 series has ended. See here for reference.
A Context is something that can hold modules, classes, methods, attributes, aliases, requires, and includes. Classes, modules, and files are all Contexts.
Types of methods
Hash of registered methods. Attributes are also registered here, twice if they are RW.
Creates an unnamed empty context with public current visibility
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 120
def initialize
super
@in_files = []
@name ||= "unknown"
@parent = nil
@visibility = :public
@current_section = Section.new self, nil, nil
@sections = { nil => @current_section }
@temporary_section = nil
@classes = {}
@modules = {}
initialize_methods_etc
end
Contexts are sorted by full_name
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 167
def <=>(other)
return nil unless RDoc::CodeObject === other
full_name <=> other.full_name
end
Adds an item of type klass with the given name and comment to the context.
Currently only RDoc::Extend and RDoc::Include are supported.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 179
def add klass, name, comment
if RDoc::Extend == klass then
ext = RDoc::Extend.new name, comment
add_extend ext
elsif RDoc::Include == klass then
incl = RDoc::Include.new name, comment
add_include incl
else
raise NotImplementedError, "adding a #{klass} is not implemented"
end
end
Adds an_alias that is automatically resolved
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 194
def add_alias an_alias
return an_alias unless @document_self
method_attr = find_method(an_alias.old_name, an_alias.singleton) ||
find_attribute(an_alias.old_name, an_alias.singleton)
if method_attr then
method_attr.add_alias an_alias, self
else
add_to @external_aliases, an_alias
unmatched_alias_list =
@unmatched_alias_lists[an_alias.pretty_old_name] ||= []
unmatched_alias_list.push an_alias
end
an_alias
end
Adds attribute if not already there. If it is (as method(s) or attribute), updates the comment if it was empty.
The attribute is registered only if it defines a new method. For instance, attr_reader :foo will not be registered if method foo exists, but attr_accessor :foo will be registered if method foo exists, but foo= does not.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 221
def add_attribute attribute
return attribute unless @document_self
# mainly to check for redefinition of an attribute as a method
# TODO find a policy for 'attr_reader :foo' + 'def foo=()'
register = false
key = nil
if attribute.rw.index 'R' then
key = attribute.pretty_name
known = @methods_hash[key]
if known then
known.comment = attribute.comment if known.comment.empty?
elsif registered = @methods_hash[attribute.pretty_name << '='] and
RDoc::Attr === registered then
registered.rw = 'RW'
else
@methods_hash[key] = attribute
register = true
end
end
if attribute.rw.index 'W' then
key = attribute.pretty_name << '='
known = @methods_hash[key]
if known then
known.comment = attribute.comment if known.comment.empty?
elsif registered = @methods_hash[attribute.pretty_name] and
RDoc::Attr === registered then
registered.rw = 'RW'
else
@methods_hash[key] = attribute
register = true
end
end
if register then
attribute.visibility = @visibility
add_to @attributes, attribute
resolve_aliases attribute
end
attribute
end
Adds a class named given_name with superclass.
Both given_name and superclass may contain '::', and are interpreted relative to the self context. This allows handling correctly examples like these:
class RDoc::Gauntlet < Gauntlet module Mod class Object # implies < ::Object class SubObject < Object # this is _not_ ::Object
Given class Container::Item RDoc assumes Container is a module unless it later sees class Container. add_class automatically upgrades given_name to a class in this case.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 284
def add_class class_type, given_name, superclass = '::Object'
# superclass +nil+ is passed by the C parser in the following cases:
# - registering Object in 1.8 (correct)
# - registering BasicObject in 1.9 (correct)
# - registering RubyVM in 1.9 in iseq.c (incorrect: < Object in vm.c)
#
# If we later find a superclass for a registered class with a nil
# superclass, we must honor it.
# find the name & enclosing context
if given_name =~ /^:+(\w+)$/ then
full_name = $1
enclosing = top_level
name = full_name.split(/:+/).last
else
full_name = child_name given_name
if full_name =~ /^(.+)::(\w+)$/ then
name = $2
ename = $1
enclosing = @store.classes_hash[ename] || @store.modules_hash[ename]
# HACK: crashes in actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb (metaprogramming)
unless enclosing then
# try the given name at top level (will work for the above example)
enclosing = @store.classes_hash[given_name] ||
@store.modules_hash[given_name]
return enclosing if enclosing
# not found: create the parent(s)
names = ename.split('::')
enclosing = self
names.each do |n|
enclosing = enclosing.classes_hash[n] ||
enclosing.modules_hash[n] ||
enclosing.add_module(RDoc::NormalModule, n)
end
end
else
name = full_name
enclosing = self
end
end
# fix up superclass
if full_name == 'BasicObject' then
superclass = nil
elsif full_name == 'Object' then
superclass = '::BasicObject'
end
# find the superclass full name
if superclass then
if superclass =~ /^:+/ then
superclass = $' #'
else
if superclass =~ /^(\w+):+(.+)$/ then
suffix = $2
mod = find_module_named($1)
superclass = mod.full_name + '::' + suffix if mod

end
end
# did we believe it was a module?

upgrade_to_class mod, RDoc::NormalClass, mod.parent if mod
# e.g., Object < Object
superclass = nil if superclass == full_name
end

if klass then
# if TopLevel, it may not be registered in the classes:
enclosing.classes_hash[name] = klass
# update the superclass if needed
if superclass then
existing = klass.superclass
existing = existing.full_name unless existing.is_a?(String) if existing
if existing.nil? ||
(existing == 'Object' && superclass != 'Object') then
klass.superclass = superclass
end
end
else
# this is a new class
mod = @store.modules_hash.delete full_name
if mod then
klass = upgrade_to_class mod, RDoc::NormalClass, enclosing
klass.superclass = superclass unless superclass.nil?
else
klass = class_type.new name, superclass
enclosing.add_class_or_module(klass, enclosing.classes_hash,
@store.classes_hash)
end
end
klass.parent = self
klass
end
Adds the class or module mod to the modules or classes Hash self_hash, and to all_hash (either TopLevel::modules_hash or TopLevel::classes_hash), unless done_documenting is true. Sets the parent of mod to self, and its section to current_section. Returns mod.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 400
def add_class_or_module mod, self_hash, all_hash
mod.section = current_section # TODO declaring context? something is
# wrong here...
mod.parent = self

unless @done_documenting then
self_hash[mod.name] = mod
# this must be done AFTER adding mod to its parent, so that the full
# name is correct:
all_hash[mod.full_name] = mod
end
mod
end
Adds constant if not already there. If it is, updates the comment, value and/or is_alias_for of the known constant if they were empty/nil.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 420
def add_constant constant
return constant unless @document_self
# HACK: avoid duplicate 'PI' & 'E' in math.c (1.8.7 source code)
# (this is a #ifdef: should be handled by the C parser)
known = @constants_hash[constant.name]
if known then
known.comment = constant.comment if known.comment.empty?
known.value = constant.value if
known.value.nil? or known.value.strip.empty?
known.is_alias_for ||= constant.is_alias_for
else
@constants_hash[constant.name] = constant
add_to @constants, constant
end
constant
end
Adds extension module ext which should be an RDoc::Extend
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 454
def add_extend ext
add_to @extends, ext
ext
end
Adds included module include which should be an RDoc::Include
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 445
def add_include include
add_to @includes, include
include
end
Adds method if not already there. If it is (as method or attribute), updates the comment if it was empty.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 464
def add_method method
return method unless @document_self
# HACK: avoid duplicate 'new' in io.c & struct.c (1.8.7 source code)

end
else
@methods_hash[key] = method
method.visibility = @visibility
add_to @method_list, method
resolve_aliases method
end
method
end
Adds a module named name. If RDoc already knows name is a class then that class is returned instead. See also add_class.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 493
def add_module(class_type, name)
mod = @classes[name] || @modules[name]
return mod if mod
full_name = child_name name
mod = @store.modules_hash[full_name] || class_type.new(name)
add_class_or_module mod, @modules, @store.modules_hash
end
Adds an alias from from (a class or module) to name which was defined in file.
# File rdoc/context.rb, line 507
def add_module_alias from, name, file
return from if @done_documenting
to_name = child_name name
# if we already know this name, don't register an alias:

# where we already know BasicObject is a class when we find
# BasicObject = BlankSlate
return from if @store.find_class_or_module to_name
to = from.dup
to.name = name
to.full_name = nil
if to.module? then
@store.modules_hash[to_name] = to
@modules[name] = to
else
@store.classes_hash[to_name] = to
@classes[name] = to
end
# Registers a constant for this alias. The constant value and comment
# will be updated later, when the Ruby parser adds the constant
const = RDoc::Constant.new name, nil, to.comment
const.record_location file

return require unless @document_self
if RDoc::TopLevel === self then
add_to @requires, require
else

def add_to array, thing
array << thing if @document_self
thing.parent = self
thing.store = @store if @store
thing.section = current_section
end
Is there any content?
This means any of: comment, aliases, methods, attributes, external aliases, require, constant.
Includes and extends are also checked unless includes == false.
