Class-name matching problem with rdoc

ruby-talk
1

After doing ‘rdoc --ri’ on the FXRuby tree (which mostly went well), I
noticed one problem with a pair of nested classes one of whose names is
an initial segment of the other. It can be easily reproduced:

$ cat rdoc-test.rb
module M
class Foo; end
class FooBar; end
end
$ rdoc --ri

                    rdoc-test.rb: mcc

Generating RI…
$ ri -T M::Foo
More than one class or module matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:

  M::Foo, M::FooBar

$ rdoc -v

Thanks - simple typo/thinko on my part. Fixed in the CVS.

Cheers

Thank you Dave. You’ve supplied me with my annual new vocabulary word:

Happy new year all!
