Hi,
I was wondering how to access a global function fn
in ruby from a class which also defined a method fn
. I have made a workaround by aliasing the function like so:
def fn end class Bar alias global_fn fn def fn # how to access the global fn here without the alias global_fn end end
I'm looking for something along the lines of c++'s :: to access global scope but I can't seem to locate any information about it. I guess I don't know specifically what I'm looking for.
