Instance Method Details

#arguments ⇒ Object

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”.
