A method is bound to the internal states of the receiver. I don't think that removing the receiver from a method makes sense. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18069: `instance_exec` is just ignored when the block is originally a method https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18069#change-93211 * Author: ttanimichi (Tsukuru Tanimichi) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I know you can't `instance_exec` a proc which is generated by `Method#to_proc` because it has its original instance's context. But, in such a case, raising `ArgumentError` would be the ideal behavior. ```ruby f = -> (x) { a + x } class A def a 1 end end A.new.instance_exec(1, &f) # => 2 class B def b(x) a + x end end proc = B.new.method(:b).to_proc A.new.instance_exec(1, &proc) # => undefined local variable or method `a' for # (NameError) ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
