Unrequiring a module

[Iain Dooley]

hello all, i'm using:

rb_require("file.rb");

to add a constant (class name) to my namespace in an embedded Ruby
application. If i want to change the implementation details of that
class without restart my application, how can i unrequire and re-require
that file?

thanks very much

Strictly speaking, you can't. Well, you can't unrequire. However,
since all classes in Ruby are open, you can simply do the C-side
equivalent of Kernel.load.
