Rubyのinstance_evalメソッドとclass_evalとの比較

class MyClass
  def initialize
    @v = 1
  end
end
obj = MyClass.new

obj.instance_eval do
  self #=> #<MyClass:0x33333 @v=1>
  @v #=> 1 
end

v = 2
obj.instance_eval { @v = v }
obj.instance_eval { @v } # => 2

class C
  def initialize
    @x = 1
  end
end
class D
  def twisted_method
    @y = 2
    #C.new.instance_eval { "@x: #{@x}, @y>: #{y}" }
    C.new.instance_exec(@y) { |y| "@x: #{@x}, @y: #{y}" }
  end
end
# D.new.twisted_method # => "@x: 1, @y: "
D.new.twisted_method # => "@x: 1, @y: 2"

obj_instance.instance_eval do
 self # => obj_instance
 # current class => obj_instance's singleton class
end
