module() click to toggle source

Attempts to locate the included module object. Returns the name if not known.

The scoping rules of Ruby to resolve the name of an included module are:

first look into the children of the current context;
if not found, look into the children of included modules, in reverse inclusion order;
if still not found, go up the hierarchy of names.

 
               # File rdoc/include.rb, line 63
def module
  return @module if @module

  # search the current context
  return @name unless parent
  full_name = parent.child_name(@name)
  @module = RDoc::TopLevel.modules_hash[full_name]
  return @module if @module
  return @name if @name =~ /^::/

  # search the includes before this one, in reverse order
  searched = parent.includes.take_while { |i| i != self }.reverse
  searched.each do |i|
    inc = i.module
    next if String === inc
    full_name = inc.child_name(@name)
    @module = RDoc::TopLevel.modules_hash[full_name]
    return @module if @module
  end

  # go up the hierarchy of names
  p = parent.parent
  while p
    full_name = p.child_name(@name)
    @module = RDoc::TopLevel.modules_hash[full_name]
    return @module if @module
    p = p.parent
  end

  @name
end
