Hi

Given the following (contrived) code:

namespace PersonLibrary  
{  
public class Person  
{  
public int Id { get; set; }  
public string Name { get; set; }  
}

```
public class Friend
{

    public Friend(Person person)
    {
        Person = person;
    }

    public Person Person { get; private set; }
}

```

}

Wouldn’t you expect the following the code to output JoeSchmoe:

load\_assembly ‘PersonLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,  
PublicKeyToken=null’

class MyFriend \< PersonLibrary::Friend

def initialize(pers)  
super  
@pers = pers  
end

def pers  
@pers  
end  
end

person = PersonLibrary::Person.new  
person.name = “JoeSchmoe”  
person.id = 1

my\_friend = MyFriend.new person  
puts my\_friend.pers.name

But instead it gives me:  
test.rb:0: allocator undefined for MyFriend (TypeError)  
This happens when I call new on the class

Should I file a bug for that?

Looks like a bug. Please file one against Tomas on Rubyforge.
