Should require 'mscorlib' not be needed though? Does the first reference to "System" do this automatically? JRuby requires that you do "require 'java'" to get at any Java classes, and I'm not what the benefit to doing it implicitly is. IronPython also has the "import clr" requirement, so what to people thing about the lack of a signal as to whether a IronRuby script uses .NET types or not?
Tomas, can you elaborate on why this is technically not needed anymore? > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:ironruby-core- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Tomas Matousek > Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 4:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Basic interoperability question > > As for #2: it doesn't work yet. instance_methods currently only includes Ruby > methods and methods that were already called (are cached) but it should > indeed include names of all instance CLR members. > > Tomas > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:ironruby-core- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Deville > Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 11:49 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Basic interoperability question > > Require 'mscorlib' is not as essential anymore.
