Subject: [ruby-talk:13381] Is there any way to get the current ruby method within in C?

Hi,

I'm rather new to Ruby (*very* new actually), and I'm playing around
with extending it in C. I would like to use the same C function to
handle multiple methods for a given class, but to perform slightly
different (potentially a lot different) behavior based on what method
was called.

My question is this: is there some way of knowing the method (by name
or unique id) when inside the C code?

For example:

VALUE methodHandler(VALUE self, VALUE arg1) {

    ID id = rb_current_method_id(...)?

    ...
}

Thanks for any help/insight you can give me.
