it will show that so far I’ve been working with instead of on IronRuby
:slight_smile:
And then I’ve been focussed on using the Ruby language and .NET from
Ruby
instead of using C# to host Ironruby.
I’m using a debug build from IronRuby and the weird thing is that I have
to
add ClassHierarchyLocker.

        var controllerRubyClass =

ScriptRuntime.Globals.GetVariable(controllerRubyClassName);
string controllerRubyMethodName = null;
using (rubyContext.ClassHierarchyLocker())
{
controllerRubyClass.EnumerateMethods((_, symbolId, __)
=>
{
if
(String.Equals(symbolId, actionName,

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{

controllerRubyMethodName = symbolId;
return
true;
}
return
false;
});
}

The question I have here is: Why do I need the ClassHierarchyLocker ?

Cheers Ivan

It’s part of Tomas’ thread-safety work. To enumerate the methods
safely, you need to ensure that another thread isn’t modifying the
method list.
