Environment

I've tested this on 9.1.16.0 and the latest master.

# bin/jruby --version
jruby 9.2.0.0-SNAPSHOT (2.4.1) 2018-03-04 b75044c Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.31-b07 on 1.8.0_31-b13 +jit [darwin-x86_64]

# bin/jruby --version
jruby 9.1.16.0 (2.3.3) 2018-03-04 8f3f95a Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.31-b07 on 1.8.0_31-b13 +jit [darwin-x86_64]

Expected Behavior

Given the following code, I'd expect a method's owner to be equal to the class where the method is defined.

class FakeClass
  prepender = Module.new
  prepend prepender

  def fake_method
  end  
  
  alias_method :other_fake_method, :fake_method
end

Both of these lines should return true:

FakeClass.instance_method(:fake_method).owner == FakeClass
FakeClass.instance_method(:other_fake_method).owner == FakeClass

Actual Behavior

The second line returns false:

irb(main):014:0> FakeClass.instance_method(:fake_method).owner == FakeClass
=> true

irb(main):015:0> FakeClass.instance_method(:other_fake_method).owner == FakeClass
=> false

I think it's because the owner of the aliased method doesn't include the prepended module:

irb(main):012:0* FakeClass.instance_method(:fake_method).owner.ancestors
=> [#<Module:0x32464a14>, FakeClass, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]

irb(main):013:0> FakeClass.instance_method(:other_fake_method).owner.ancestors
=> [FakeClass, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]

I've also tested this on MRI 2.3.1 and 2.4.3 and they behave as expected.

Ahh, interesting. There have been fixes to Method ownership, but perhaps prepended cases are still not picking up the proper base. I'll have a look.

Good find! Can you submit this as a spec to https://github.com/ruby/spec? Maybe expand it to cover other cases not already tested?

Let us know if you find any related issues!

Aliased methods on class with a prepended module should have the corr…

…ect owner

We discovered an issue in jruby where a method created via `alias_method` on a class with a prepended module had an owner that was different from the class on which it was defined.

The jruby folks suggested adding a spec here to cover this case. See jruby/jruby#5080.
