From: Sylvain Viart Date: 2011-07-18T17:15:55+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:38162] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #4994] DelegateClass don't find extern global public method in 1.9.2 Issue #4994 has been updated by Sylvain Viart. Sorry, but links are in Japanese. I can read the code, but not why the DelegateClass shouldn't search the global public method, any more? Could you translate or post a link to an English doc? For the correction you suggest, I've wrote this code: I don't like this usage as a Delegation. May be I missed something.
require 'delegate'
require 'pp'

def test_that?(str)
    str.size > 0
end

class String2 < DelegateClass(String)
    def initialize(*param)
        @s = String.new(*param)
        super(@s)
    end

    def dummy
        test_that?(@s)
        bla()
    end

    def method_missing(m, *args, &block)
        begin
            Object.send(m, *args, &block)
        rescue NameError =>e
            # doesn't work with NoMethodError, it loops
            raise "no method found: '#{m}'"
        end
    end
end

s2 = String2.new("pipo")

# test Delegated method
pp s2.size

# call with method_missing()
pp s2.dummy
