Slim2:~ phrogz$ cd /usr/local/src/ruby-1.9.1-p243/
Slim2:ruby-1.9.1-p243 phrogz$ grep -E "define_method.+assoc" *.c
array.c:    rb_define_method(rb_cArray, "assoc", rb_ary_assoc, 1);
array.c:    rb_define_method(rb_cArray, "rassoc", rb_ary_rassoc, 1);
hash.c:    rb_define_method(rb_cHash, "assoc", rb_hash_assoc, 1);
hash.c:    rb_define_method(rb_cHash, "rassoc", rb_hash_rassoc, 1);

So, look for the function named rb_cArray in the array.c file in the
ruby source code. (Do you have the source code, or do you need help
finding where that is?)
