# Date memoizes some instance methods using metaprogramming to wrap # the methods with one that caches the result in an instance variable. # # If a Date is frozen but the memoized method hasn't been called, the # first call will result in a frozen object error since the memo # instance variable is uninitialized. # # Work around by eagerly memoizing before freezing. # # Ruby 1.9 uses a preinitialized instance variable so it's unaffected. # This hack is as close as we can get to feature detection: if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9' require 'date' begin ::Date.today.freeze.jd rescue => frozen_object_error if frozen_object_error.message =~ /frozen/ class Date #:nodoc: def freeze self.class.private_instance_methods(false).each do |m| if m.to_s =~ /\A__\d+__\Z/ instance_variable_set(:"@#{m}", [send(m)]) end end super end end end end end
