Bug #7806: inconsistency between Method#inspect and Method#name
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7806

Author: Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak)

ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]


it seems that Method#inspect does some magic with alias methods

code:
(({class A
def xyz
end
alias ver xyz
end

p A.instance_method(:ver) #<UnboundMethod: A#xyz>
p A.instance_method(:ver).name #:ver

a=A.new
p a.method(:ver) #<Method: A#xyz>
p a.method(:ver).name #:ver
}))

shouldn't the #inspect method use the #name one?

maybe #alias? and #alias_target and maybe inspect return something like #<Method: A#ver(xyz)> so it can be seen that the method is an alias?


PS: sorry i cant get the code tag working currectly
