So, the problem I'm seeing is what I alluded to earlier: writing stuff in the class body is more like +load than +initialize. Especially, not all classes may be loaded at that point. So I came up with this: http://gist.github.com/619585 Would it make sense to try to have something official for this functionality? In the process I noticed a few things: 1. You may see I opted for using _initialize instead of initialize for the method name. It turns out every ruby class in MacRuby already respond_to?(:initialize). That's not true in MRI. Is this a necessity of the Objective-C implementation? 2. It appears that the #singleton_class method does not exist in MacRuby. Oversight? File a ticket? 3. I initially tried implementing Object.inherited as: class Object @inherited = [] def self.inherited(m) @inherited << m end end This works in a standalone MacRuby file. In the context of an application, @inherited seems to be lost, and I get an error trying to call << on nil. What's going on here? _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
