Yeah, I was doing something similar right now, just hoping for a better long term solution in MacRuby. On May 05, 2010, at 20:11, B. Ohr wrote:

Jordan,

you can do something like that:

class Object alias :old_inspect :inspect

def inspect i = old_inspect if i.start_with?('#<') d = description d.start_with?('<') ? i : d else i end end end

But you’re right, a better integration of „description“ would be nice.

Right now for custom objects on the Objective-C side even if you provide a -[Object description] call to_s will fall through and hit to_s from NSObject which right now just has the class name and pointer.

Is it already planned for the future to use the description method in to_s on the MacRuby side? Should I file a bug report?

Hi, v0.7 has a different behavior than v0.5 when using a Cocoa-Obj (NSCalendarDate) as a key in a hash. I must admit that I do not know what is exactly specified in Ruby, but obviously the generated value of an hashkey of different objects is same in all other cases if the objects itself are identical: - Bernd --- $ macruby_select 0.7 h.rb {#<NSCalendarDate:0x2000df2a0>=>:x, #<NSCalendarDate:0x2000c7fa0>=>:y} # <==== is this ok???????? {["t", "e", "s", "t"]=>:y} {#<Date: 2010-02-01 (4910457/2,0,2299161)>=>:y} $ macruby_select 0.5 h.rb {#<NSCalendarDate:0x2000a3280>=>:y} {["t", "e", "s", "t"]=>:y} {#<Date: 2010-02-01 (4910457/2,0,2299161)>=>:y} $ ruby h.rb {["t", "e", "s", "t"]=>:y} {#<Date: 4910457/2,0,2299161>=>:y} $ ruby1.9 h.rb {["t", "e", "s", "t"]=>:y} {#<Date: 2010-02-01 (4910457/2,0,2299161)>=>:y} $ cat h.rb require 'Date' def h(d1,d2) h = { d1 => :x} h[d2] = :y p h end d1 = NSCalendarDate.dateWithYear( 2010, month:5, day:2, hour:0, minute:0, second:0, timeZone:nil) d2 = NSCalendarDate.dateWithYear( 2010, month:5, day:2, hour:0, minute:0, second:0, timeZone:nil) h(d1,d2) h( ["t", "e", "s", "t"],"test".chars.to_a) h( Date.parse("2010-02-01"), Date.parse("2010-02-01“))
