Subject: [ruby-core:126868] [Ruby Feature#8947] make alias, alias_method, attr_* return name of the alias

Issue #8947 has been updated by Earlopain (Earlopain _).

Status changed from Open to Closed

This was implemented in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17314

----------------------------------------
Feature #8947: make alias, alias_method, attr_* return name of the alias
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8947#change-119234

* Author: rkh (Konstantin Haase)
* Status: Closed
----------------------------------------
Now that def returns the method name, it would be handy to have alias/alias_method return the name of the alias:

class Foo
  private def foo() end
  protected alias_method :bar, :foo
end

Same goes for the attr_* methods:

class Foo
  private attr_accessor :foo, :bar
end

What do you think?
