When implementing MOP you cannot intercept core Object methods (equals(), hashCode(), etc.)

Description

For some reason when attempting to intercept methods using the invokeMethod() routine there are a set of methods that are uninterceptable. The methods that I tested are:

  • equals()
  • hashCode()

I'm sure there are others. This seems like a hole in the whole MetaObjectProtocol, when intercepting methods I should be able to intercept all of them, not just some of them. Since this is being reworked I thought it would be a good time to file a bug.

Actually it looks like all methods belonging to Object will not be intercepted by invokeMethod, which may be a design constraint not to mess with the basic class, but definitely warrants another look when the MOP is revised.

But EMC allows you to override everything, or even using GroovyInterceptable – the former being the advised way though.

Is there anything further to be done with this issue?
