Public Methods

safe_send(object, method, *args, &block)

Object#send is broken, in that it allows private methods to be called, even though they are private. This method will check for calls to protected and private methods to make sure that they are not made; a NameError be thrown if they are.

object	the object to send the message to.
method	the method to call on the object.
args	the arguments to the method.
block	an optional code block to send.

Returns: the return value from the method call.

evil_send(object, method, *args, &block)

object	the object to send the message to.
method	the method to call on the object.
args	the arguments to the method.
an	optional code block to send.

Returns: block the return value from the method call.
