Module This::Encompassing::That

Not sure what 'this modification' is, because the above works under 1.6.8
already as far as I can tell.

Thanks to Babelfish I get from [ruby-dev:18184]:

"Because Nakata's method very
mounting is simple, the air does whether this way it is not to be good
being.
Lottery"

So that's clear then :slight_smile:

This modification had been discussed in ruby-dev, from
[ruby-dev:16165] and [ruby-dev:18103]. Perhaps, the final
patch is [ruby-dev:18184].

Hi,

Would it not be clearer to eliminate the duplication of all those prefixes
though? e.g.

module Utils
autoload :ClassA, ‘utils/classa’
autoload :ClassB, ‘utils/classb’
autoload :ClassC, ‘utils/classc’
autoload :ClassD, ‘utils/classd’
end

Autoload affects only top level constants, even in module
definition. I suspected that you wanted the files to get
loaded by access to constants under Utils. Excuse my
misunderstanding.

Hmmm,

"Because Nakada’s implementation is simple, it looks good
enough for me.

Okuji"

No, it is me who still misunderstands :slight_smile: I did:

  a = Utils::ClassA.new

and it worked. Attached is a full example, which gives:

$ ruby main.rb
I am foo
99
I am bar
123
$

Regards,

Brian.

main.rb (279 Bytes)

classa.rb (53 Bytes)

constb.rb (12 Bytes)

classc.rb (53 Bytes)

constd.rb (13 Bytes)

Try this, to see the difference

module Utils
autoload :ClassA, ‘classa’
class ClassB
end
end

p Utils::ClassA.new
p Utils::ClassB.new
p Utils.constants

And this works too:

module Foo
autoload :ClassA, ‘classa’
def Foo.test
a = ClassA.new
puts a.foo
puts a.class
end
end

Foo.test

Ah, but this has generated ClassA and not Foo::ClassA. I guess that’s the
problem.
