RDoc::CodeObject

We contain the common stuff for contexts (which are containers) and other elements (methods, attributes and so on)

Attributes

comment[R]

Access the code object's comment

document_children[R]

do we document ourselves and our children

document_self[R]

do we document ourselves?

done_documenting[RW]

are we done documenting (ie, did we come across a :enddoc:)?

force_documentation[RW]

Do we force documentation, even is we wouldn't normally show the entity

parent[RW]

section[RW]

Which section are we in

viewer[RW]

We are the model of the code, but we know that at some point we will be worked on by viewers. By implementing the Viewable protocol, viewers can associated themselves with these objects.

Public Class Methods

attr_overridable(name, *aliases) click to toggle source

There's a wee trick we pull. Comment blocks can have directives that override the stuff we extract during the parse. So, we have a special class method, ::attr_overridable, that lets code objects list those directives. Wehn a comment is assigned, we then extract out any matching directives and update our object

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 97
def CodeObject.attr_overridable(name, *aliases)
  @overridables ||= {}

  attr_accessor name

  aliases.unshift name
  aliases.each do |directive_name|
    @overridables[directive_name.to_s] = name
  end
end

def initialize
  @document_self = true
  @document_children = true

  @done_documenting = false
end

Public Instance Methods

comment=(comment) click to toggle source

Update the comment, but don't overwrite a real comment with an empty one

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 87
def comment=(comment)
  @comment = comment unless comment.empty?
end

document_children=(val) click to toggle source

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 57
def document_children=(val)
  @document_children = val
  if !val
    remove_classes_and_modules
  end
end

document_self=(val) click to toggle source

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 34
def document_self=(val)
  @document_self = val
  if !val
    remove_methods_etc
  end
end

remove_classes_and_modules() click to toggle source

Default callbacks to nothing, but this is overridden for classes and modules

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 69
def remove_classes_and_modules
end

remove_methods_etc() click to toggle source

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 72
def remove_methods_etc
end

start_doc() click to toggle source

set and cleared by :startdoc: and :enddoc:, this is used to toggle the capturing of documentation

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 43
def start_doc
  @document_self = true
  @document_children = true
end

stop_doc() click to toggle source

 
               # File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 48
def stop_doc
  @document_self = false
