    Public Instance Methods

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

    Two method objects are equal if they are bound to the same object and refer to the same method definition and their owners are the same class or module.

     
               static VALUE
method_eq(VALUE method, VALUE other)
{
    struct METHOD *m1, *m2;
    VALUE klass1, klass2;

    if (!rb_obj_is_method(other))
        return Qfalse;
    if (CLASS_OF(method) != CLASS_OF(other))
        return Qfalse;

    Check_TypedStruct(method, &method_data_type);
    m1 = (struct METHOD *)DATA_PTR(method);
    m2 = (struct METHOD *)DATA_PTR(other);

    klass1 = method_entry_defined_class(m1->me);
    klass2 = method_entry_defined_class(m2->me);

    if (!rb_method_entry_eq(m1->me, m2->me) ||
        klass1 != klass2 ||
        m1->klass != m2->klass ||
        m1->recv != m2->recv) {
        return Qfalse;
    }

    return Qtrue;
}
    prc[params,...] → obj click to toggle source

    Invokes the block, setting the block's parameters to the values in params using something close to method calling semantics. Returns the value of the last expression evaluated in the block.

    a_proc = Proc.new {|scalar, *values| values.map {|value| value*scalar } }
a_proc.call(9, 1, 2, 3)    #=> [9, 18, 27]
a_proc[9, 1, 2, 3]         #=> [9, 18, 27]
a_proc.(9, 1, 2, 3)        #=> [9, 18, 27]
a_proc.yield(9, 1, 2, 3)   #=> [9, 18, 27]

    Note that prc.() invokes prc.call() with the parameters given. It's syntactic sugar to hide "call".

    For procs created using lambda or ->() an error is generated if the wrong number of parameters are passed to the proc. For procs created using Proc.new or Kernel.proc, extra parameters are silently discarded and missing parameters are set to nil.

    a_proc = proc {|a,b| [a,b] }
a_proc.call(1)   #=> [1, nil]

a_proc = lambda {|a,b| [a,b] }
a_proc.call(1)   # ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)

    See also Proc#lambda?.

    return rb_method_call_with_block(argc, argv, method, proc);
}
    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 one;    end
  def two(a); end
  def three(*a);  end
  def four(a, b); end
  def five(a, b, *c);    end

c.method(:five).arity    #=> -3
c.method(:six).arity     #=> -3

"cat".method(:squeeze).arity   #=> -1

{
    int n = method_arity(method);
    return INT2FIX(n);
}
    call(params,...) → obj click to toggle source

    Invokes the block, setting the block's parameters to the values in params using something close to method calling semantics. Returns the value of the last expression evaluated in the block.

    a_proc = Proc.new {|scalar, *values| values.map {|value| value*scalar } }
a_proc.call(9, 1, 2, 3)    #=> [9, 18, 27]

    clone → new_method click to toggle source

    Returns a clone of this method.

    class A
  def foo
    return "bar"
  end
end

m = A.new.method(:foo)
m.call # => "bar"
n = m.clone.call # => "bar"

    return clone;
}
    curry → proc click to toggle source
    curry(arity) → proc

    Returns a curried proc based on the method. When the proc is called with a number of arguments that is lower than the method’s arity, then another curried proc is returned. Only when enough arguments have been supplied to satisfy the method signature, will the method actually be called.

    The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying methods with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the method is called.

    def foo(a,b,c)
  [a, b, c]
end

proc  = self.method(:foo).curry
proc2 = proc.call(1, 2)          #=> #<Proc>
proc2.call(3)                    #=> [1,2,3]

  args
end

proc2 = proc.call(:x)      #=> #<Proc>
proc3 = proc2.call(:y, :z) #=> #<Proc>
proc3.call(:a)             #=> [:x, :y, :z, :a]
