Documentation Improve - rdoc does not know where rb_obj_methods is (#methods)
Description
Hi.
It seems there is no simple online documentation available what
#methods is doing in Ruby:
can't find #methods anywhere in the docs
really strange
the docs are normally quite thorough
Upon looking at this, we saw the method defined first in
object.c here:
object.c: rb_define_method(rb_mKernel, "methods", rb_obj_methods, -1);
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/object.c#L2897
Referring to:
class.c: rb_obj_methods(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
class.c has the proper rdoc documentation for #methods there.
But this does not seem to show up in the online docu.
On IRC, Mon_Ouie said that a reference is missing in order
to make this work:
class.c has the rdoc docu though
<Mon_Ouie> All that's missing is the /* in class.c / comment
<Mon_Ouie> to make rdoc find the method
<Mon_Ouie> Yeah, the method is documented, but RDoc doesn't know in what file it is defined, since it's not object.c
<Mon_Ouie> So it needs a / in class.c */ comment to know where to look for it
My request:
Could class.c include this comment so that the online documentation will point
to the proper #methods documentation?
