# class UnboundMethod

### Public Instance Methods

arguments() click to toggle source

Resolves the arguments of the method to have an identical signiture –useful for preserving arity.

    class X
      def foo(a, b); end
      def bar(a, b=1); end
    end

    foo_method = X.instance_method(:foo)
    foo_method.arguments   #=> "a0, a1"

    bar_method = X.instance_method(:bar)
    bar_method.arguments   #=> "a0, *args"

When defaults are used the arguments must end in “*args”.

name() click to toggle source

Return the name of the method.

Be aware that in ruby 1.9 #name is defined already, but it returns a Symbol not a String.

    class NameExample
      def foo; end
    end

    meth = NameExample.instance_method(:foo)

    meth.name.to_sym  #=> :foo

      to_s.slice(i+1...-1).to_sym
    end
