add_alias(an_alias, context = nil)

Adds an_alias as an alias for this method in context.

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 59
def add_alias an_alias, context = nil
  method = self.class.new an_alias.text, an_alias.new_name

aref_prefix()

Prefix for aref is ‘method’.

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 76

  'method'
end

arglists()

The call_seq or the param_seq with method name, if there is no call_seq.

Use this for displaying a method’s argument lists.

call_seq()

Different ways to call this method

call_seq=(call_seq)

Sets the different ways you can call this method. If an empty call_seq is given nil is assumed.

name()

Method name

If the method has no assigned name, it extracts it from call_seq.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 233
def name
  return @name if @name

  @name =
    @call_seq[/^.*?\.(\w+)/, 1] ||
    @call_seq[/^.*?(\w+)/, 1] ||
    @call_seq if @call_seq
end

param_list()

A list of this method’s method and yield parameters. call-seq params are preferred over parsed method and block params.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 246
def param_list
  if @call_seq then
    params = @call_seq.split("\n").last
    params = params.sub(/.*?\((.*)\)/, '\1')
    params = params.sub(/(\{|do)\s*\|([^|]*)\|.*/, ',\2')
  elsif @params then
    params = @params.sub(/\((.*)\)/, '\1')

    params << ",#{@block_params}" if @block_params
  elsif @block_params then
    params = @block_params
  else
    return []
  end

  if @block_params then
    # If this method has explicit block parameters, remove any explicit
    # &block
    params = params.sub(/,?\s*&\w+/, '')
  else
    params = params.sub(/\&(\w+)/, '\1')
  end

  params = params.gsub(/\s+/, '').split(',').reject(&:empty?)

  params.map { |param| param.sub(/=.*/, '') }
end

param_seq()

Pretty parameter list for this method. If the method’s parameters were given by call-seq it is preferred over the parsed values.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 278
def param_seq
  if @call_seq then
    params = @call_seq.split("\n").last
    params = params.sub(/[^( ]+/, '')
    params = params.sub(/(\|[^|]+\|)\s*\.\.\.\s*(end|\})/, '\1 \2')
  elsif @params then
    params = @params.gsub(/\s*\#.*/, '')
    params = params.tr_s("\n ", " ")
    params = "(#{params})" unless params[0] == ?(
  else
    params = ''
  end

  if @block_params then
    # If this method has explicit block parameters, remove any explicit
    # &block
    params = params.sub(/,?\s*&\w+/, '')

    block = @block_params.tr_s("\n ", " ")
    if block[0] == ?(
      block = block.sub(/^\(/, '').sub(/\)/, '')
    end
    params << " { |#{block}| ... }"
  end

  params
end

skip_description?()

Whether to skip the method description, true for methods that have aliases with a call-seq that doesn’t include the method name.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 310
def skip_description?
  has_call_seq? && call_seq.nil? && !!(is_alias_for || !aliases.empty?)
end

store=(store)

Sets the store for this method and its referenced code objects.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 317
def store= store
  super

  @file = @store.add_file @file.full_name if @file
end

superclass_method()

For methods that super, find the superclass method that would be called.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/any_method.rb, line 326
def superclass_method
  return unless @calls_super
  return @superclass_method if @superclass_method

  parent.each_ancestor do |ancestor|
    if method = ancestor.method_list.find { |m| m.name == @name } then
      @superclass_method = method
      break
    end
  end

  @superclass_method
