Status changed from Open to Closed This was implemented in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17314 ---------------------------------------- Feature #8947: make alias, alias_method, attr_* return name of the alias https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8947#change-119234 * Author: rkh (Konstantin Haase) * Status: Closed ---------------------------------------- Now that def returns the method name, it would be handy to have alias/alias_method return the name of the alias: class Foo private def foo() end protected alias_method :bar, :foo end Same goes for the attr_* methods: class Foo private attr_accessor :foo, :bar end What do you think? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
