Returns whether ASCII-compatible or not.

Encoding::UTF_8.ascii_compatible?     #=> true
Encoding::UTF_16BE.ascii_compatible?  #=> false

Callback invoked whenever the receiver is included in another module or class. This should be used in preference to Module.append_features if your code wants to perform some action when a module is included in another.

module A
  def A.included(mod)
    puts "#{self} included in #{mod}"
  end
end
module Enumerable
  include A
end
 # => prints "A included in Enumerable"

Returns an array containing the names of the public and protected instance methods in the receiver. For a module, these are the public and protected methods; for a class, they are the instance (not singleton) methods. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.

module A
  def method1()  end
end
class B
  include A
  def method2()  end
end
class C < B
  def method3()  end
end

A.instance_methods(false)                   #=> [:method1]
B.instance_methods(false)                   #=> [:method2]
B.instance_methods(true).include?(:method1) #=> true
C.instance_methods(false)                   #=> [:method3]
C.instance_methods.include?(:method2)       #=> true

Returns an UnboundMethod representing the given instance method in mod.

class Interpreter
  def do_a() print "there, "; end
  def do_d() print "Hello ";  end
  def do_e() print "!\n";     end
  def do_v() print "Dave";    end
  Dispatcher = {
    "a" => instance_method(:do_a),
    "d" => instance_method(:do_d),
    "e" => instance_method(:do_e),
    "v" => instance_method(:do_v)
  }
  def interpret(string)
    string.each_char {|b| Dispatcher[b].bind(self).call }
  end
end

interpreter = Interpreter.new
interpreter.interpret('dave')

produces:

Hello there, Dave!

Defines an instance method in the receiver. The method parameter can be a Proc, a Method or an UnboundMethod object. If a block is specified, it is used as the method body. If a block or the method parameter has parameters, they’re used as method parameters. This block is evaluated using instance_eval.

class A
  def fred
    puts "In Fred"
  end
  def create_method(name, &block)
    self.class.define_method(name, &block)
  end
  define_method(:wilma) { puts "Charge it!" }
  define_method(:flint) {|name| puts "I'm #{name}!"}
end
class B < A
  define_method(:barney, instance_method(:fred))
end
a = B.new
a.barney
a.wilma
a.flint('Dino')
a.create_method(:betty) { p self }
a.betty

produces:

In Fred
Charge it!
I'm Dino!

Removes the method identified by symbol from the current class. For an example, see Module#undef_method. String arguments are converted to symbols.

Prevents the current class from responding to calls to the named method. Contrast this with remove_method, which deletes the method from the particular class; Ruby will still search superclasses and mixed-in modules for a possible receiver. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Parent
  def hello
    puts "In parent"
  end
end
class Child < Parent
  def hello
    puts "In child"
  end
end

c = Child.new
c.hello

class Child
  remove_method :hello  # remove from child, still in parent
end
c.hello

class Child
  undef_method :hello   # prevent any calls to 'hello'
end
c.hello

produces:

In child
In parent
prog.rb:23: undefined method `hello' for #<Child:0x401b3bb4> (NoMethodError)

Makes new_name a new copy of the method old_name. This can be used to retain access to methods that are overridden.

module Mod
  alias_method :orig_exit, :exit
  def exit(code=0)
    puts "Exiting with code #{code}"
    orig_exit(code)
  end
end
include Mod
exit(99)

produces:

Exiting with code 99

Returns true if the named method is defined by mod. If inherit is set, the lookup will also search mod’s ancestors. Public and protected methods are matched. String arguments are converted to symbols.

module A
  def method1()  end
  def protected_method1()  end
  protected :protected_method1
end
class B
  def method2()  end
  def private_method2()  end
  private :private_method2
end
class C < B
  include A
  def method3()  end
end

A.method_defined? :method1              #=> true
C.method_defined? "method1"             #=> true
C.method_defined? "method2"             #=> true
C.method_defined? "method2", true       #=> true
C.method_defined? "method2", false      #=> false
C.method_defined? "method3"             #=> true
C.method_defined? "protected_method1"   #=> true
C.method_defined? "method4"             #=> false
C.method_defined? "private_method2"     #=> false

Returns a DateTime object which denotes self.

Returns self.

Returns a DateTime object which denotes self.

Returns true for IPv4-compatible IPv6 address (::/80). It returns false otherwise.

Calls WIN32OLE#invoke method.

Returns the array of WIN32OLE_METHOD object. The element is OLE method of WIN32OLE object.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
methods = excel.ole_methods

Returns WIN32OLE_METHOD object corresponding with method specified by 1st argument.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
method = excel.ole_method_help('Quit')

Returns the size of arguments of the method.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
puts method.size_params # => 11

Returns value specified by the member name of VT_RECORD OLE variable. Or sets value specified by the member name of VT_RECORD OLE variable. If the member name is not correct, KeyError exception is raised.

If COM server in VB.NET ComServer project is the following:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class ComClass
    Public Structure Book
        <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)> _
        Public title As String
        Public cost As Integer
    End Structure
End Class

Then getting/setting value from Ruby is as the following:

obj = WIN32OLE.new('ComServer.ComClass')
book = WIN32OLE_RECORD.new('Book', obj)
book.title # => nil ( book.method_missing(:title) is invoked. )
book.title = "Ruby" # ( book.method_missing(:title=, "Ruby") is invoked. )

Returns array of WIN32OLE_METHOD objects which represent OLE method defined in OLE type library.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Worksheet')
methods = tobj.ole_methods.collect{|m|
  m.name
}
# => ['Activate', 'Copy', 'Delete',....]

Invoked by Ruby when obj is sent a message it cannot handle. symbol is the symbol for the method called, and args are any arguments that were passed to it. By default, the interpreter raises an error when this method is called. However, it is possible to override the method to provide more dynamic behavior. If it is decided that a particular method should not be handled, then super should be called, so that ancestors can pick up the missing method. The example below creates a class Roman, which responds to methods with names consisting of roman numerals, returning the corresponding integer values.

class Roman
  def roman_to_int(str)
    # ...
  end

  def method_missing(symbol, *args)
    str = symbol.id2name
    begin
      roman_to_int(str)
    rescue
      super(symbol, *args)
    end
  end
end

r = Roman.new
r.iv      #=> 4
r.xxiii   #=> 23
r.mm      #=> 2000
r.foo     #=> NoMethodError

Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ protected methods.
