#Trying to implement rb_call_super() for more RMagick fun. ## First try VALUE rb_call_super(int nargs, VALUE *args) { CTX; VALUE obj; obj = NEW_HANDLE(ctx, ctx->fc->self); return rb_funcall2(obj, rb_intern("super"), nargs, args); } ## Results #This fails. super() isn't a "real" method, so rubinius complains #that it cannot find the method. ## New approach VALUE rb_call_super(int nargs, VALUE *args) { CTX; VALUE obj; obj = NEW_HANDLE(ctx, class_get_superclass(ctx->fc->self->klass)); return _push_and_call(obj, (ID)ctx->fc->method, nargs, args); } ## Results #This fails. Replacing (ID)ctx->fc->method with #rb_intern("real method to call") also fails, as obj appears #to be pointing to the metaclass instead of the class itself. #Roughly, obj.metaclass.superclass.superclass. But #(ID)ctx->fc->method appears to be wrong anyway, it's not #pointing to what I expected it to point to. It's an OBJECT #rather than an ID, and casting it doesn't appear to be the #right thing. #I suppose I could go through a string based eval but clearly #at this point in the code, we know our current object and #should be able to figure out the method lookup table of the #parent object and make the appropriate call. But I can't #get it. Help?
