colliding method names

[Iain Barnett]

Hi,

If I'm running irb and I run a method called `foo`, is there a way to =
find out which foo was called? I'm getting some strange results and =
wonder if there's more than one method with the same name out there.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Iain=

You can use #method


begin
method :foo # =>
rescue
$! # => #<NameError: undefined method `foo' for class `Object'>
end

def foo
end
method :foo # => #<Method: Object#foo>

def self.foo
end
method :foo # => #<Method: main.foo>



"hello world".instance_eval do

method :foo # => #<Method: String(Object)#foo>

class String
def foo
end
end
method :foo # => #<Method: String#foo>

def self.foo
end
method :foo # => #<Method: "hello world".foo>

end

Thanks, I'll have a play around with that.

Much appreciated.
