[#372239] best practice for redefining methods at runtime? — Chuck Remes <cremes.devlist@...>
I have a class that I would like to "freeze" when it reaches a particular state so that it becomes read-only. I do *not* want to use the existing #freeze method because it raises an exception when there is an attempted mutation on a frozen object and I want the attempt to be silent. It appears that the best way to enforce this (state machine pattern) is by redefining the accessors and other methods that cause mutations to be no ops.

You're only half-right here. Default definee determines what 'def' works on, but not include. At top-level 'include' is actually a singleton method on main (see method(:include).owner) and its definition is top_include() in eval.c where it explictly includes the module into Object (did you read the blog post i linked earlier...?) > At the top level the current class is > Object, and methods get defined as private by default.

Instance variables are NOT "defined on" a class, but > are rather dynamically attached to instances as methods run. > I don't know what you mean here. I was talking about the ivars on Object - the *class* called Object. Classes can have ivars too, as im sure you're aware: e.g: class Hello @x = 10 end And these ivars ARE defined on an iv_tbl in the class (or at least on the rb_classext_t member in the class). I think we have been mainly talking at cross-purposes here. I do not disagree with a lot of what you have said but I also do not see how it is relevant. The point I was making was that: (1) 'current class' and 'cref' at top-level are Object anyway, so methods and constants will end up on Object. (2) the top-level include method, although it is defined on main (singleton class) actually includes into Object. Same with top-level public and private methods. (3) Instance variables, in so far as they're used (which i cant see what for, really) may as well just be defined on the Object class (i mean class instance variables here) So i thknk if you just made Object the top-level context rather than 'main' you would get (1) and (2) for free (wouldn't' have to define any weird singleton methods a la 'include') and (3) you may as put the ivars on Object class, ii can't really see any reason why not to :) John > http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/2008/02/08/whose-variable-is-it-anyway > > -- > Rick DeNatale > > Help fund my talk at Ruby Conf 2010:http://pledgie.com/campaigns/13677 > Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ > Github: http://github.com/rubyredrick > Twitter: @RickDeNatale > WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale > LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
