rails latest stable - Class: ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback

_compile_filter(filter)

private

Filters support:

Arrays::  Used in conditions. This is used to specify
          multiple conditions. Used internally to
          merge conditions from skip_* filters.
Symbols:: A method to call.
Strings:: Some content to evaluate.
Procs::   A proc to call with the object.
Objects:: An object with a <tt>before_foo</tt> method on it to call.

All of these objects are compiled into methods and handled the same after this point:

Arrays::  Merged together into a single filter.
Symbols:: Already methods.
Strings:: class_eval'ed into methods.
Procs::   define_method'ed into methods.
Objects::
  a method is created that calls the before_foo method
  on the object.
