Getting an object's class definition namespace

ruby-talk
1

In a program I module_eval class definitions into a dynamically created
namespace. To run support code later on I need to know the module it was
defined in from an instance of the class.

Is there any _NICE_ way to replace this 'cheat version'? The below also
doesn't work with nested modules.

module X
  class A
    def my_module
      Object::const_get(self.class.name.split('::')[0])
     end
  end
end

a = X::A.new
a.my_module => X

Thanks!

Would Module.nesting work for you?

irb(main):001:0> module X
irb(main):002:1> class A
irb(main):003:2> def nesting
irb(main):004:3> Module.nesting
irb(main):005:3> end
irb(main):006:2> end
irb(main):007:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):008:0> X::A.new.nesting
=> [X::A, X]
