[groovy-dev] MetaClass.getMethods() and MetaClass.getMetaMethods ()

    /**
     * Retrieves a list of MetaMethods held by the class
     *
     * @return A list of MetaMethods
     *
     */
     List getMethods();

     /**
      * Retrieves a list of MetaMethod instances held by this class
      * @return A list of MetaMethod instances
      */
     List getMetaMethods();

Could some one explain me expected difference please?

Alex

MetaClassImpl says:

     public List getMethods() {
         return allMethods;
     }

     public List getMetaMethods() {
         return new ArrayList(newGroovyMethodsSet);
     }

Jochen,

Of course, I asked on EXPECTED difference.

what do you mean with expected? I expect it to behave like it did before 
  and so do most others that are using these methods. What exactly do 
you want to achieve?

Re: [groovy-dev] MetaClass.getMethods() and MetaClass.getMetaMethods ()

I want to understand what should I expect when call getMethods () and
what should I expect when call getMetaMethods (). Building meta method
index is pretty complicated story and I want to know what is DESIGNED
behavior of both methods.

Re: [groovy-dev] MetaClass.getMethods() and MetaClass.getMetaMethods ()

I believe this is historical, when I added EMC into the mix that
allowed you to add more MetaMethods for the first time. I wanted a way
to get a list of all the MetaMethods for meta-programming, including
the ones that had been added through EMC.

However, the existing implementation returned only the methods added
through DGM, I argued on the list to get it to return all methods, but
it was agreed the behaviour shouldn't change so it didn't and I added
a new method that returned all of them.

Of course the javadoc doesn't accurately describe that difference and
we should correct it to do so. Or even better fix the historical
difference and deprecate one of them

Cheers

Don't hesitate to improve the JavaDoc as you find holes in the explanations.
