# This source file, originating from Ruby on Rails, extends the +Class+ class to # allows attributes to be shared within an inheritance hierarchy, but where each # descendant gets a copy of their parents' attributes, instead of just a pointer # to the same. This means that the child can add elements to, for example, an # array without those additions being shared with either their parent, siblings, # or children, which is unlike the regular class-level attributes that are # shared across the entire hierarchy. # # This functionality is used by Leaf's filter features; if not for this # extension, then when a subclass changed its filter chain, all of its # superclasses' filter chains would change as well. This class allows a subclass # to inherit a _copy_ of the superclass's filter chain, but independently change # that copy without affecting the superclass's filter chain. # # Copyright (c)2004 David Heinemeier Hansson # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining # a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the # "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including # without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, # distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to # permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to # the following conditions: # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be # included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # Allows attributes to be shared within an inheritance hierarchy, but where each descendant gets a copy of # their parents' attributes, instead of just a pointer to the same.
