Why I don't like method missing
require 'benchmark'
class A
def m
@foo = 1
end
end
class B
def method_missing(meth, *args, &block)
if meth == 'm'
@foo = 1
end
end
end
class C
define_method :m do
@foo = 1
end
end
a = A.new
b = B.new
c = C.new
p Benchmark.measure { 10_000_000.times { a.m } }
p Benchmark.measure { 10_000_000.times { b.m } }
p Benchmark.measure { 10_000_000.times { c.m } }
