[MacRuby-devel] super method
Questions on the super method: Is the super method unique to MacRuby? super forwards the current message to the superclass with the same method name and arguments. Is there a way to send a message to the superclass method with different arguments either from within the subclass method of the same name or from outside the subclass method of the same name to bypass the subclass method? Thanks, Bob Rice ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
Re: [MacRuby-devel] super method
No it's not unique to MacRuby (Ruby and Obj-C support that feature) and yes you can pass other arguments :) - Matt Sent from my iPhone On Sep 7, 2010, at 12:16, Robert Rice wrote: > Questions on the super method: > > Is the super method unique to MacRuby? > > super forwards the current message to the superclass with the same method > name and arguments.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] super method
Thanks Matt: I didn't see super in the ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/index.html unless super is short for superclass. Can I reach a superclass method without having the message go first to my subclass override of the method?

In Ruby, super is not a real method call but a key word. Also, it does not behave exactly like a method call (implicit arguments/block and what not). Therefore it is not in the generated method list. > > Can I reach a superclass method without having the message go first to my > subclass override of the method? Not as easily and general as in Smalltalk but you can do something like this: class Foo def foo 20 end end class Bar < Foo def foo super * 2 end end class Baz < Bar def foo method = Foo.instance_method(__method__).bind(self) method.call end end puts Foo.new.foo # => 20 puts Bar.new.foo # => 40 puts Baz.new.foo # => 20 Konstantin ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
Re: [MacRuby-devel] super method
Satish has a good blog post on the matter: http://rubylearning.com/satishtalim/ruby_overriding_methods.html You can certainly call super in your subclass before making any modifications or calling super based on a condition. I hope it helps, - Matt Sent from my iPhone On Sep 7, 2010, at 12:53, Robert Rice wrote: > Thanks Matt: > > I didn't see super in the ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/index.html unless super is > short for superclass. > > Can I reach a superclass method without having the message go first to my > subclass override of the method? > > Bob Rice > > > On Sep 7, 2010, at 3:26 PM, Matt Aimonetti wrote: > >> No it's not unique to MacRuby (Ruby and Obj-C support that feature) and yes >> you can pass other arguments :) >> >> - Matt >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On Sep 7, 2010, at 12:16, Robert Rice wrote: >> >>> Questions on the super method: >>> >>> Is the super method unique to MacRuby? >>> >>> super forwards the current message to the superclass with the same method >>> name and arguments.

Hi Henry, Sorry for the late response.

You just need to add the Embed and Compile targets in your project. These targets just call the macruby_deploy command-line tool on your application bundle, so you may want to look at the tool by yourself in case your build process is different. These 2 operations will embed MacRuby and compile all your project's source code into machine code, removing the .rb files after. It should then be ready for release. Let us know if you have any problem. Laurent ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
Re: [MacRuby-devel] Cocoa Slides in MacRuby
Hi Matthew, Looks like a valuable addition to me :) Thanks for proposing to work on this. It looks ambitious so if you need help you should probably post it on github so that others can translate the original code too.
