Undocumented argument on Object#methods

Stefan Rusterholz

7/13/2007 10:21:00 AM

Due to a discussion in irc.freenode.org#ruby I stumbled over an
undocumented argument to Object#method. My suggested fix to the
documentation is below, or was it left out intentionally?

Regards
Stefan

in object.c:
/*
* call-seq:
* obj.methods(singleton=true) => array
*
* Returns a list of the names of methods publicly accessible in
* <i>obj</i>. This will include all the methods accessible in
* <i>obj</i>'s ancestors.
* If singleton is set to false, it will return an array of
<i>obj</i>'s
* singleton methods.
*
* class Klass
* def kMethod()
* end
* end
* k = Klass.new
* k.methods[0..9] #=> ["kMethod", "freeze", "nil?", "is_a?",
* "class", "instance_variable_set",
* "methods", "extend", "__send__",
"instance_eval"]
* k.methods.length #=> 42
* def k.kSingletonMethod; end
* k.methods(false) # => ["kSingletonMethod"]
*/

Thanks to both of you. Any way to work around the read-onlyness (I use
ruby-forum.com) of ruby-core without having to register?

You can use http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-co... for
reading it more comfortably. I think you will still need to subscribe
to the ML though for posting. (But you can turn off receiving
messages / automatically move them to the trash.)
