What this changes

Before: a class method that defines methods under names it builds from its arguments was refused at its define_method, even when the class body calls it with literal arguments. Calls like that were only expanded when the method came from a module the class extends and handed define_method a lambda. ruby/rdoc's RDoc::Markdown defines github?, notes?, css? and the rest this way through def self.extension, so every call to one of them was refused too.

After: the class body's calls to such a method are expanded into the defs they make, for a class's own def self.m as well as a method of an extended module, and for the block form as well as the lambda form. The block is the method's body and its parameters are the method's, with the macro's arguments substituted for the locals the block reads. A block that yields, asks block_given?, passes its arguments on with a bare super, leaves itself with next, break or redo, declares block-local variables, destructures a parameter or takes numbered ones has no def spelling and stays refused. So does a block or lambda reading a macro local that the macro assigns again after the define_method, since the method would see the later value.

class Markdown
  def self.extension name
    define_method "#{name}?" do
      @extensions.include? name
    end
  end

  extension :github
  extension :notes

  def initialize(extensions) = @extensions = extensions
end

m = Markdown.new [:notes]
p m.github?, m.notes?

CRuby prints false and then true. Master refuses line 3 with "Module#define_method with a non-literal name is not supported". With this change it compiles and prints the same as CRuby.

gate: Error 2 (the two failures below; every other leg passed)

Both corpus legs fail only socket_ipv6_and_class_methods (cannot create UDP socket) and pkg.tmpdir.tmpdir_expand_usable. Master fails both the same way on the machine the gate ran on. Benchmarks (70 pass), Optcarrot (checksum 59662), rubyspec-gate and the refusals check all pass.

  • New tests have .expected files that match CRuby 4.0 run with --enable-frozen-string-literal
  • Values past 2^31 are marked # spinel: int64
  • If optcarrot's generated C changed: callgrind numbers, checksum 59662
  • Depends on: #

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Macro expansion now supports class-body calls to define_method and define_singleton_method when their blocks can be represented as method bodies, including supported parameters and captured local values.
    • Method names built from literal arguments can be expanded into method definitions. Expansion is skipped for unsupported block forms or captured locals reassigned later.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified which class and extended-module method calls are expanded, along with existing limitations.

…pands

A class method the class body calls with literal arguments, that defines
methods under names it builds from them, was refused at its define_method:

    class Markdown
      def self.extension name
        define_method "#{name}?" do
          extension? name
        end
      end
      extension :github
    end

The class-body macro expander already ran such calls when the method came
from a module the class extends and handed define_method a lambda. Now it
also collects a class's own `def self.m` that calls define_method or
define_singleton_method with a name that isn't a literal, and expands the
block form: the block is the method's body and its parameters the
method's, so the call becomes the `def` it makes, with the macro's
arguments substituted for the locals the block reads. A macro whose every
call was expanded is dropped, and a call inside its own body (the instance
method `extension` above, which shares its name) no longer counts as one
it couldn't expand.

A block that yields, asks block_given?, passes its arguments on with a
bare super, leaves itself with next, break or redo, declares block-local
variables, destructures a parameter or takes numbered ones has no def
spelling and stays refused. So does a define_method, block or lambda,
reading a macro local the macro assigns again after the call: the method
sees the local when it runs, so the value substituted would be stale.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macro evaluator now expands supported block- and lambda-based define_method and define_singleton_method calls. It checks captured-local reassignment and block compatibility, updates macro discovery and expansion checks, and adds documentation and tests for class-body macro calls.

Changes

Class-body method expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Convert blocks and lambdas to method bodies
src/sp_macro.c
The evaluator substitutes captured locals into generated methods. It rejects expansion when a captured local is later reassigned or the block uses unsupported parameters or control flow.
Discover and gate dynamic method definitions
src/sp_macro.c
Macro discovery recognizes computed method names. The expansion gate includes class-method define_method use, and macro-call counting excludes calls inside the macro definition.
Document and exercise class-body macro calls
docs/limitations.md, test/class_method_define_method_macro.rb, test/class_method_define_method_macro.rb.expected, test/reject/define_method_name_class_method.rb
The limitation entry describes supported class-body calls. The example and expected output cover generated methods; a rejection example moves Foo.prop :x outside the class body.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c5b9

A supported class-body macro can generate invalid Ruby when its block contains an implicit rescue. Correct the body range before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c5b9

The newly supported definitions remain subject to ownership, reflection, capture, and body-eligibility checks. No new privilege bypass was substantiated, but the broader compilation behavior and incomplete security coverage warrant a low rather than minimal risk assessment.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced exposure is additional Ruby source reaching the compiler’s existing macro evaluator and producing runtime method definitions. No tenant, service, datastore, credential, or infrastructure authority transition was established for this change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Class-self invocation requires matching class ownership and a definition observed before the call. Uncertain class state or visibility prevents expansion, and generated names must pass the existing name validation before insertion into source.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failed expansion does not commit its temporary generated source or retain its tracked state writes. This preserves the existing failure-containment boundary as more class-body patterns become eligible.

Prism Ruby BeginNode implicit rescue location range statements rescue_clause official documentation

💡 Result:

In Prism, an implicit rescue (such as a method-level `rescue` without `begin`) is still represented by a `BeginNode`; Ruby’s syntax documentation confirms that methods have an implied exception-handling block. ([docs.ruby-lang.org](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.3/syntax/methods_rdoc.html?utm_source=openai))

`BeginNode` exposes `statements`, `rescue_clause`, and the full `location` range. The official node docs establish those fields, but do **not** specify the exact range boundaries or how the node is marked as implicit. ([docs.ruby-lang.org](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.3/Prism/BeginNode.html?utm_source=openai))

So, for exact offsets in your Ruby/Prism version, inspect the parsed node’s `location` and its `begin_keyword_loc` (which may be absent), rather than assuming the docs define the implicit node’s range. The cited API page is for Ruby 3.3; behavior in another version may differ. ([docs.ruby-lang.org](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.3/Prism/BeginNode.html?utm_source=openai))

Exclude implicit block delimiters from the generated method body.

When a block contains an implicit rescue, Prism makes blk->body a PM_BEGIN_NODE whose range includes do and the block's closing end. mx_subst_body copies that entire range, then the block expansion adds another method end. The generated method can therefore contain a standalone do and an extra end, which makes the expanded Ruby invalid.

When begin_keyword_loc is absent, emit the range from the first body clause through the last rescue/else/ensure clause. Preserve explicit begin nodes unchanged.

Review comment at @src/sp_macro.c around lines 854 - 970:
Update mx_subst_body to exclude implicit block delimiters when its body is a
PM_BEGIN_NODE with no begin_keyword_loc: emit only the source range from the
first body clause through the last rescue, else, or ensure clause, applying
macro substitutions within that range. Preserve explicit begin nodes and the
existing handling of other body types unchanged.
