Instance Method Details

#autoload(cname, path) ⇒ String

Instance level autoload method.

Note: I am not so certain the instance level method is a good idea. The end used can just as easily and more cleary use ‘self.class.autoload` to do it themselves. Nonetheless, Ruby supported this so we will too.

Parameters:

  • cname (#to_sym) —

    The constants name.

  • path (String) —

    File path to require.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The $AUTOLOAD table.
