Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Used to proxy all method and attribute requests not implemented on the controller to the model.

On first call of a missing method a method is generated to avoid the missing lookup next time, this should be faster for repeated lookups of the same method, e.g. reg

def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
  if model.respond_to?(method)
    # This method is handled separately since it is important to produce a proxy method
    # that takes no arguments, otherwise the register address lookup system mistakes it
    # for a legacy way of calculating the base address whereby the register itself was
    # given as an argument.
    if method.to_sym == :base_address
      define_singleton_method(method) do
        model.send(method)

Instance Method Details

#==(obj, options = {}) ⇒ Object Also known as: equal?

When compared to another object, a controller will consider itself equal if either the controller or its model match the given object

# File 'lib/origen/controller.rb', line 93

def ==(obj, options = {})
  if obj.is_a?(Origen::SubBlocks::Placeholder)
    obj = obj.materialize
  end
  if options[:called_from_model]
    super(obj)
  else
    super(obj) || model == obj
  end
end

#controller ⇒ Object

Means that when dealing with a controller/model pair, you can always call obj.model and obj.controller to get the one you want, regardless of the one you currently have.
