Hello all !
Not so long ago, I posted a question about hooks in rdoc. It appeared
that there are none, and that I was welcome to create some. So I did.
The attached patch (against 1.8.5) does the job for me.
Here is the principle: the --hook option allows rdoc to require some
files. The files should contain statements of the like
RDoc::Hook.hook(/def_delegators/) do |name, args, comment, context, mod|
return unless mod.document_self
to = args.shift
for a in args
meth = RDoc::Alias.new("", a, “#{to}.#{a}”, comment)
context.add_alias(meth)
end
end
This code declares a hook for things like
A nice comment
def_delegators :@some_stuff, :some_method, :some_other_method
The block is called with
name = “def_delegators”
args = ["@some_stuff", “some_method”, “some_other_method”]
comment = “# A nice comment”
context = ??? # An object representing the class/module currently
processed
mod = ??? # We’re interested basically only in the document_self
attribute.
This syntax should be pretty flexible for all meta-programming
purposes. I did my best to keep the modifications to the code as little
as possible, it really shouldn’t break anything.
It would be cool if some people could test this code. I would then
forward the patch to ruby-code.
Thanks !
Vince
