this question is mostly for the folks at rb, but i'd appreciate
anyone's input. i was under the impression rb's Address Of call
only worked with module methods, but i just d/led code from
someone who uses it with a class method. is this allowed now?
is it officially supported, or is this a case of lucky accident
i shouldn't use?
I believe it's not unsupported.
That's a good way to put it.
It's not an accident that you can get the address of an instance
method. I'm not sure that there's anything useful you can do with
such an address, but if you can think of something, well, have at it.
I think he's talking about shared methods, with which one can do
something useful.
Ahh. Yes, indeed, you can certainly get the address of a shared class
method and do useful things with it. I don't know whether this is
documented, but it is supported (how's that for a brain twister?).
