I have the following code, which used to work under IronRuby 0.9.1 and
earlier
class Object
def method_missing(sym, *args, &block)
if sym.to_s =~ /blah regex/
# do stuff
else
super # call through to underlying ruby method_missing
end
end
end
Under 0.9.1 this worked across the board, and under 0.9.2 it works for
most
objects, but suddenly for COM objects it’s throwing an exception on the
call
to ‘super’
Repro code:
load_assembly “microsoft.office.interop.word”
word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass.new
word.fdsfgdsf
System::NotSupportedException: super(.S,1*&):482 @1 not supported on
foreign

I’d be more than happy to work around it by not calling super if the
object
is a “foreign meta-object”, but how can I tell that?
