What's so special about operators, built-in classes and modules?

J

Jim Freeze

I just noticed this little quirk. Is there something
I am doing wrong?

module Mod
def *(other)
puts "#{self} * #{other}"
end
end

class String
include Mod
end

"ff" * 5 #=> nothing

But, if I add the method explicitly instead of through a module I get:

class String
#include Mod
def *(other)
puts "#{self} * #{other}"
end
end

"ff" * 5 #=> "ff" * 5

This seems to be a quirk (bug?) and only happens when mixing modules,
built in classes (like Array) and operator methods.

Mixing in a module works fine with the combinations:
Non built-in class, operators
Built-in class, non operator method

Thanks Forian. For some reason I always thought that including a mod
would shadow old methods.
I suppose for my method to work (no pun intended), the standard
operating procedure is to:

class B
alias :_orig_f
remove_method :f
include Mod
end

I'm a little slow in getting around to these types of things, I'm
surprised I haven't seen an RCR to reduce this to a single line.

You can use Ruby to do most of the work:

module Mod
def f; :"new-f"; end
def self.included(o)
instance_methods(false).each do |m|
o.instance_eval do
alias_method("_orig_#{m}", m)
remove_method(m)
end
end
super
end
end

class A
def f; :f; end
end

A.new.f # => :f

class A
include Mod
end

A.new._orig_f # => :f
A.new.f # => :"new-f"

Including a module is just like inheriting from a class--the module is
above you in the ancestor list. I guess the intuitive meaning of
"include" might be different--one might think it meant "define all
methods from the module at this point in my class definition". Maybe
"inherit <module>" would be a better name for the construct...

So would the RCR be for a construct that inserted a module between each
instance of B and B itself?

My simple thought process was always thinking that 'include'ing a Module
was the same as writing the methods myself. So

class A
def m
puts "A#m"
end
def m
puts :m
end
end
A.new.m #=> :m

was the same thing as

module Mod
def m
puts :m
end
end
class A
def m
puts "A#m"
end
include Mod
end
A.new.m #=> :m

So, I thought it was redefining the method and the old method
was being lost if it did not have an alias.

But, as you say, it is more like inheritance.
So would the RCR be for a construct that inserted a module between each
instance of B and B itself?

Would be nice if the notation was external to the class
since there is no difference between:

class A
include Mod
def m; puts "A#m"; end
end

and

class A
def m; puts "A#m"; end
include Mod
end

Nope. I'll note that others have argued better in favour of this than
you have and they're still not unified. I think that unification would
increase the confusion far MORE than what is currently present.

That's a new one =E2=80=94 argument by pointing out that there are

That is a reasonable belief. Indeed, I'm not completely

So I'd be interested in seeing some arguments.

Here is an example of an argument:

Whenever you bring up the issue of modules vs. classes,
there will generally be at least one person who believes
that including a module is the same as copying its body.
This confusion would go away if the two were unified.

Of course it's not instantiating a module, but it's pretty

well - classes can't do this

module MainHelper

end

module SetupMain
include MainHelper
def run

end
end

module BackupMain

class Main
def main
table = {
SETUP => SetupMain,
QUERY => QueryMain,
BACKUP => BackupMain,
}
modul = table[ mode ]
extend modul
run
end
end

this sort of aggregation can be very nice for source management when classes
are growing large - one can simply make the class be what it needs to be and
nothing more. in short - classes do not support ad hoc aggreation, which is
very nice feature to give up.

this is a similar 'argument':

in c most people think that a definition like

int foobar (const char * string);

will prevent people from modifiying string. it won't. for that one needs

int foobar (const char * const string);

why not unify them?

the answer is obvious: because they are differnet. a focus on clarifying

are simply going to have to be told to rtfm - not everything can be intuitive

and, of course, you still can't inherit from M - but i realize this needed be
so.

I agree. My point is that Ruby's classes and modules are
very much alike. If =E2=80=98const char *=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98const ch=
ar * const=E2=80=99
were very much alike, I'd be in favor of unifying them.
But since the two pointer types are not alike at all, your
analogy doesn't apply.

I'm talking about two very similar concepts that are
commonly mistaken for very different concepts, while you are
talking about two very different concepts that are commonly
mistaken for equal concepts. Do you see the difference?
a focus on clarifying doccumentation might be wiser in
this case.

Granted.

not everything can be intuitive AND powerful.

But realize that what I'm saying is that Ruby is *not* more
powerful with classes and modules separate than it would be
with them unified. I'm saying that Ruby would be equally
powerful (nay, more powerful) after the unification.

Would it be more intuitive? I think so.

How is this inconsistency a feature? Why is it not fixed?

Does any code depend on the fact that including a module

already has at least one. I'll search the archives later.)

Then you will have complex network of classes instead of simple tree
structure, sharing code with modules. That makes things much complex,
without buying you anything except for the feeling of being more generic.

For the newbies: In the old, old days (1.6 maybe), we had to use
#append_features instead of #included, and that did require explicitly
including the module. And sometimes we had to whack it with a dinosaur
bone to make it work.

Btw, the doc for append_features is unclear (as someone else on this
thread pointed out) about the difference between including a module and
adding methods:

------------------------------------------------- Module#append_features
append_features(mod) => mod
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When this module is included in another, Ruby calls
+append_features+ in this module, passing it the receiving module
in _mod_. Ruby's default implementation is to add the constants,
methods, and module variables of this module to _mod_ if this
module has not already been added to _mod_ or one of its ancestors.
See also +Module#include+.

(I actually consider Ruby's mixins to *be* a kind of
multiple inheritance, but I'll play along for a while.)
Theoretically, you can't have a base class use derived class methods
because a) the base class should be instantiable b) in OO you can't force
the derived class to define a method.

Dynamic language allow (b) but it would feel strange anyway

About (a), one assumption you have is that modules should be instantiable.
Enumerable, for instance, is not even using the trick you sent earlier
because no method in the resulting object would be usable.

In the C++ world (if you know it), modules are a form of CRTP.

Right, but to me that is just another reason to unify.
How is this inconsistency a feature? Why is it not fixed?

Does any code depend on the fact that including a module
does not pull in its singleton methods?

i'd say __all__ code depends on that. otherwise

module M
def self::new
raise
end
end
class < C
include M
end

c =3D C::new

i'd imagine this is the (one of) reason(s) for the current behaviour.
Yes, I use similar hacks too. But don't you agree that it
would be nicer if modules and classes were consistent in
this regard, rendering these hacks unnecessary?

yes - i just am not seeing how it could be done in a way that preserved or
added to current functionality and was simpler. inheritence needs to be
addressed specifically for it to make sense.
(I realize that I'm shifting the discussion instead of
meeting your arguments.)


Hmm... sounds weird. I do tend to use Unicode characters,
specifically quotation marks. How does this look?

=E2=80=98foo=E2=80=99 =E2=80=9Cbar=E2=80=9D

like this

.[0m~@~Xfoo.[0m~0~X .[0m~@~\bar.[0m~@~]
It's supposed to be the word foo in single quotes followed
by the word bar in double quotes.

tough to see that ;-)

cheers.
