Module: Metamorphosis::RedefInit

Defined in:
lib/metamorphosis/core.rb

Overview

This module is responsible for extending forthcoming class instances with the new behavior defined by relevant spell(s). It's the responsability of the spells to call +super+ so as to fallback on original behavior: this module only has the auto-hooks up and runing.

In order to have instances existing prior to the plugin activation, one should pass the +:retroactive+ option to #activate.

  # FIXME: le bug: comme Loudness a été enregistré comme spell pour Project::Foo::Speaker,
  # la ligne 42 de test.rb arrive ici, et 299 essaye d'étendre un module InstanceMethods
  # qui n'existe pas pour Loudness. Il faut donc différencier les spells liés aux
  # InstanceMethods de ceux liés aux ClassMethods des autres dans @@redefinable.
  # C'est peut-être le moment de passer RubyTree? ou équivalent plus souple? OpenStruct?

  # FIXME: hashes don't keep insert order in Ruby 1.8 so it's not a good structure
  # to hold the spells references. Better use a tree with chained spell, spells as
  # tree leaves, and hierarchy for free.
