Feature #15842: Allow DelegateClass() to module_eval given block

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -

[jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans)]

Methods that return classes often module_eval the given block
(e.g. Class.new and Struct.new). This allows DelegateClass to
work similarly. This makes it easier to use DelegateClass
directly without subclassing, so as not to create an unnecessary
intermediate class. Example:

MyClass = DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) do
  def initialize
    super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo)
  end
end

Attached is a patch that implements this proposal.

As delegate.rb is unmaintained, unless someone objects in the next week, I plan on committing this feature.

• Status changed from Open to Closed
