Bug #1318: Ri documentation missing for BasicObject methods instance_eval, method_missing, __send__

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: 1.9.2
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [x86_64-linux]

=begin
It seems that ri does not find the documentation for three instance methods of BasicObject, namely instance_eval, method_missing, and send. All three of these seem to have a documentation in the vm_eval.c source file, but this is somehow not built to the ri documentation.

This is using ruby-1.9.1-p0 built from source on an amd64 linux debian system. (The online docs at "http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/index.html" are also missing these methods.)

Thanks in advance,

Ambrus

Hi, Eric

How about adding BasicObject to known classes?

diff --git a/lib/rdoc/known_classes.rb b/lib/rdoc/known_classes.rb
