Subject: [ruby-core:110215] [Ruby master Feature#18798] `UnboundMethod#==` with inherited classes

Issue #18798 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


Thanks for confirming. It sounds good to me.
Does @ko1 or anyone else plan to work on this? Otherwise I can give it a try when I have some time.

----------------------------------------
Feature #18798: `UnboundMethod#==` with inherited classes
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18798#change-99500

* Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Now `UnboundMethod` for a same method from a superclass and an inherited class are not `==`.

```ruby
class C
  def foo = :C
  $mc = instance_method(:foo)
end

class D < C
  $md = instance_method(:foo)
end

p $mc == $md #=> false
p $mc.owner #=> C
p $mc.owner == $md.owner #=> true
p $mc.source_location == $md.source_location #=> true
p $mc.inspect #=> "#<UnboundMethod: C#foo() t.rb:3>"
p $md.inspect #=> "#<UnboundMethod: D(C)#foo() t.rb:3>"
```

How about to make it `UnboundMethod#==` return true for this case?
Rule: "return true if the UnboundMethod objects point to a same method definition" seems simple.

FYI: On aliased unbound methods point to a same method are `==`.


```ruby
class C
  def foo = :C
  alias bar foo
  $mfoo = instance_method(:foo)
  $mbar = instance_method(:bar)
end

p $mfoo, $mbar
#=> #<UnboundMethod: C#foo() t.rb:2>
#=> #<UnboundMethod: C#bar(foo)() t.rb:2>

p $mfoo == $mbar #=> true
```
