Ruby blocks - explicit vs implicit arguments

I wanted to pass an implicit block argument to a call to super. Looks like the most efficient way is to use

def on_ready
unless paused?
super { yield }
end
end

-----------------------

From http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/71221


require 'benchmark'

def outer11(&bl)
inner1(&bl)
end

def outer12(&bl)
inner2(&bl)
end

def outer21
inner1 {yield}
end

def outer22
inner2 {yield}
end

def inner1(&bl)
bl.call
end

def inner2
yield
end

n = 100000

Benchmark.bmbm(10) do |rpt|
rpt.report("outer11") do
n.times {outer11{}}
end

rpt.report("outer12") do
n.times {outer12{}}
end

rpt.report("outer21") do
n.times {outer21{}}
end

rpt.report("outer22") do
n.times {outer22{}}
end
end

__END__
