MacRuby Initializers only claim a single arity

[ernest.prabhakar@…]

When I write an initalizer, I only register it for a single arity:

rb_objc_define_method(cQueue, "initialize", rb_queue_init, 1);

Queue.new("foo")

Unfortunately, Objective-C will apparently fall back to the default (no-arg) initializer of the superclass, leading to an uninitalized object being allocated if I mistakenly call:

Queue.new # no args

To work around this, I've manually added an exception-throwing initializer:

static VALUE rb_raise_init(VALUE self, SEL sel) {

rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "initializer called without any arguments");

return self;

}

rb_objc_define_method(cQueue, "initialize", rb_raise_init, 0);

Would be nice if MacRuby did this automatically, to preserve Ruby-esque semantics.
