def define_field_accessor name, &block
  if instance_methods.include?("#{name}")
    warn "WARNING: The name '#{name}' is in use for class #{self} "+
         "Skipping automatic method creation in dsl_layout block."
  else
    define_method name, &block
  end
end

#dsl_layout(&block) ⇒ Object

This passes a block to an instance of DSLStructLayoutBuilder, allowing for a more declarative syntax with additional metadata to be included.

dsl_layout() a replacement to layout() and stores the dsl_metadata gathered about structure members locally and automatically creates accessor methods for each field in the structure.

NOTE if a structure field name conflicts with another instance method already defined in the class, the relevant accessor method is not created and a warning is issued. This does not apply to methods defined after the dsl_layout block is called. In other words this does not affect the overriding of accessor methods in any way.
