Global Hash in module (solution without $ ) ?

jolran

Hi.

During some googeling(think it was St.overflow) I found this solution for making an hash that has constant scope
in module. Which permits to pass the hash through classes in a module without the use of globals$.
It's appears to work pretty fine, but I then wonder if it is an acceptable method for working with Sketchup?
I.e doesent polute the plugin directory or can create havoc for other plugins.
(it would be unfortunate to trust a solution and then find out it's a big NoNo, later on..)

Maybe some of you guys have similar stuff implemented already..

Here's a snippet variant of what I'm using.


module My_stuff
module DOSTUFF

#initialize Constants..

class Container   
    attr_accessor ;objstorage
    def initialize  
        @objstorage = {}  
    end  
end 

OBJECTLIST = Container.new #new Hash with global scope in module.  

# Add something to Hash..
OBJECTLIST.objstorage[;key] = "Somevalue" 
 
# Additional code goes here......

class Myclass
	
    def initialize()
        @something = OBJECTLIST.objstorage[;key]
    end
	
   #Add stuff....
   
end #class  
   
end #DOSTUFF
end #My_stuff

I don't see the difference yet from

OBJECTLIST = {}

Can you elaborate?

Hah, neither do I

Your solution is better, I knew some of you foxes had a simpler solution.

Can't remember what the fuzz was bout creating a whole class for a Hash..
Maybe for some mixin purposes ? (which I do not need)
In any case I'd stick to your method.

Thanks

Or something like ?

###Usage;### AAA;;XXX.new()
module AAA
@@h={}
@@h['xxx']='zzz'
	class XXX
		include AAA
		@@h['yyy']='aaa'
		def initialize()
			@@h['zzz']='ccc'
			@@h.sort.each{|h|puts "#{h[0]}=#{h[1]}"}
		end
	end
end

Thanks TIG.

Your variant is probably more than I need for the moment, but still very clever.

And I presume (since nobody mentioned it already) quite safe to use ?
