I know we create Hash object with Hash.new,it calls initialize
method.
Here it is:
class Hash
alias_method :_initialize, :initialize
def initialize
puts ‘welcome!!’
_initialize
end
end
Hash.new #welcome
But how hash object is created when we call them as below:
Hash[‘a’, ‘b’]
Hash[‘a’ => ‘b’]
What method is being called internally?
Hash[] only call methods that you can not overwrite… it allocates the
Hash without calling initialize.
Hash[obj] with only one argument does some kind of Magic too (because it
trys to convert into an Hash and if that fails, try to convert into
Array)
This is the method
You can indeed overwrite it:
irb(main):001:0> class Hash
irb(main):002:1> def self.
irb(main):003:2> {}
irb(main):004:2> end
irb(main):005:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):006:0> Hash[‘1’,‘2’]
=> {}
last time you used C functions to show me that i am Wrong and now you
want C code? okay you get it:
when you do “show source” at
Class: Hash (Ruby 2.0.0) you get this:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/hash.c#L389
please notice the: rb_hash_s_try_convert and rb_check_array_type
except for this ones the Hash[] function does not call ruby methods and
only use the C representations of them, so overwriting them in ruby does
not have any form of effect

Please give me one code example of this.I am heavily interested on it. I
tried some code to see it,but not worked as I am looking for.

No friend! I didn’t challenge you, i will never do that even if I got
grow up in ruby,rather I will try to convince him with the reality.
Now I am not grown up so much in Ruby only 50% by concept, but I will
try reach to 80%.
As far as I know I tried to show you my confusion areas, after that I
drived into the source code with your hints and solved my confusion.
In this case,I am also looking into the source code,but didn’t getting
it as I am not getting function description of any function ruby till
now,only code I got. within code to much functions are called. Those
functions leading me to another confusion area, instead that if I got
proper word description of each function,that could be better for me.
like say a below.
My func(){
add(x,y) /* this function adds to number*/
}
Above kind of flavor I am not getting there.
