Warning
Symbols prefixed with either RBIMPL or rbimpl are implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere anytime at will.
Note
To ruby-core: remember that this header can be possibly recursively included from extension libraries written in C++. Do not expect for instance __VA_ARGS__ is always available. We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of extension libraries. They could be written in C++98.

Function Documentation

◆ rb_class_descendants()

VALUE rb_class_descendants ( VALUE  klass)

Queries the class's descendants.

This routine gathers classes that are subclasses of the given class (or subclasses of those subclasses, etc.), returning an array of classes that have the given class as an ancestor. The returned array does not include the given class or singleton classes.

Parameters
[in]klassA class.
Returns
An array of classes where klass is an ancestor.

◆ rb_undef()

void rb_undef ( VALUE  mod,
ID  mid 
)

Inserts a method entry that hides previous method definition of the given name.

This is not a deletion of a method. Method of the same name defined in a parent class is kept invisible in this way.

Parameters
[out]modThe module to insert an undef.
[in]midName of the undef.
Exceptions
rb_eTypeErrorklass is a non-module.
rb_eFrozenErrorklass is frozen.
rb_eNameErrorNo such method named klass#name.
Postcondition
klass#name is undefined.
