Edit Question
Title
Body
I would like to dynamically specify the parent class for a class in Ruby. Consider this code: class Agent def self.hook_up(calling_class, desired_parent_class) # Do some magic here end end class Parent def bar puts "bar" end end class Child def foo puts "foo" end Agent.hook_up(self, Parent) end Child.new.bar Neither the Parent nor the Child class definition specifies a parent class, so they both inherit from Object. My first question is: what would I need to do in Agent.hook_up in order to make Parent the superclass of Child (so for example Child objects can inherit the 'bar' method). My second question is: do I need to pass the first argument to Agent.hook_up , or is there some way the hook_up method can programmatically determine the class from which it was called?
