Hi,
Perhaps this is a faq, but I stil don’t understand
the difference between Method and Proc objects.
Is there some pointer to a doc about the this topic.
I read the FAQ, but I found nothing.
My question is : why are there two seemingly
equifunctional classes?
Regards, Christian

As far as I can tell the only real difference is in the creation
and the fact that you can ``unbind’’ (rebind) a Method.
class Fixnum
def foo
p [self,self + 2]
end
end
foo3 = 3.method(:foo)
p foo = foo3.unbind
foo4 = foo.bind(4)
foo6 = foo.bind(6)
(proc {|| }).to_proc
foo3
foo4
foo6
class A
def initialize(x)
@bar = x
end
attr_reader :bar
end
a = A.new “a_foo”
b = A.new “b_foo”
a_bar = a.method(:bar)
b_bar = (a_bar.unbind).bind(b)
proc_bar = proc { || @bar }
@bar = “main_bar”

Interesting, I have not seen the bind and unbind method
in the Pickaxe book, it seems I should have looked in
Ruby via public_methods.
Thanks for the answer, Christian

Ruby’s closure is a proc. Probably you meant continuation.

What is even more interesting …
C:>ri unbind
C:>ruby -Sx C:\ruby\bin\ri.rb unbind
Don’t know anything about a method called `unbind’.
C:>ri bind
C:>ruby -Sx C:\ruby\bin\ri.rb bind
-------------------------------------------------------- Kernel::binding
binding → aBinding
Returns a Binding object, describing the variable and method
bindings at the point of call. This object can be used when calling
eval to execute the evaluated command in this environment. Also see
the description of Binding beginning on page 295.
def getBinding(param)
return binding
end
b = getBinding("hello")
eval "param", b #=> "hello"
C:>ri rebind
C:>ruby -Sx C:\ruby\bin\ri.rb rebind
Don’t know anything about a method called `rebind’.
C:>ri -v

Ruby’s closure is a proc.
kernel::proc creates a procedure from closure

I used the term ``rebind’’ in a colloquial sense,. It is not
an instance method of the relevant classes Proc, Method
or UnBoundMethod.

unbind and bind are new to 1.7.

It’s a matter of terms. I call it a block (because it’s not closed yet).
matz.
The main point is, however, that ‘ri’ doesn’t know about ‘bind’ or ‘unbind’.
Nor does it know about UnboundMethod.

I beg to differ. I’m using 1.6.5 on Cygwin and followed Christoph’s very
entertaining example (thanks, Christoph) no problem.

You are right…I appologize…they were added in 1.6.2:
