Method: RDoc::Context#add_attribute

Defined in:
lib/rdoc/code_object/context.rb

#add_attribute(attribute) ⇒ Object

Adds attribute if not already there. If it is (as method(s) or attribute), updates the comment if it was empty.

The attribute is registered only if it defines a new method. For instance, attr_reader :foo will not be registered if method foo exists, but attr_accessor :foo will be registered if method foo exists, but foo= does not.
