Member predicate API::Node::getInstance
Gets a node that may refer to an instance of the module or class represented by this API node.
This includes the following:
- Calls to
new
on this module or class or a descendent thereof - References to
self
in instance methods declared in any ancestor of any descendent of this module or class
For example:
A.new # API::getTopLevelMember("A").getInstance()
class B < A
def m
self # API::getTopLevelMember("A").getInstance()
end
end
B.new # API::getTopLevelMember("A").getInstance()
class C < A
include Mixin
end
module Mixin
def m
# Although 'Mixin' is not directly related to 'A', 'self' may refer to an instance of 'A'
# due to its inclusion in a subclass of 'A'.
self # API::getTopLevelMember("A").getInstance()
end
end
