hey guys.

I’m searching for days for the C-method(s) which is/are invoked if a  
ruby method call takes place.  
Example

class X  
def hello()  
p “hello”  
end  
end

ix = X.new \<- methodcall new  
x.hello \<- methodcall hello

I found NODE \* rb\_method\_node(VALUE klass, ID id) in eval\_method.ci  
which is touched everytime, but it seems for me that this is not the  
right c-method.

thanks for your help

hey guys.

I’m searching for days for the C-method(s) which is/are invoked if a  
ruby  
method call takes place.  
Example

class X  
def hello()  
p “hello”  
end  
end

ix = X.new ← methodcall new  
x.hello ← methodcall hello

I found NODE \* rb\_method\_node(VALUE klass, ID id) in eval\_method.ci  
which  
is touched everytime, but it seems for me that this is not the right  
c-method.

thanks for your help
