Connection.new does not allow custom arguments in subclasses

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

--------------------------
class MyHandler < EM::Connection
def initialize param
@param=param
end
end

myhandler = MyHandler.new "abcd"
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
from (irb):18:in `initialize'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/eventmachine-1.0.0.beta.4/lib/em/connection.rb:55:in
`block in new'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/eventmachine-1.0.0.beta.4/lib/em/connection.rb:49:in
`instance_eval'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/eventmachine-1.0.0.beta.4/lib/em/connection.rb:49:in
`new'
--------------------------

AFAIK the problem is in Connection.new:

--------------------------
# Override .new so subclasses don't have to call super and can ignore
# connection-specific arguments
#
def self.new sig, *args
allocate.instance_eval do
# Store signature
@signature = sig
# associate_callback_target sig

# Call a superclass's #initialize if it has one
initialize(*args)

# post initialize callback
post_init

self
end
end
--------------------------

Ok, but this workaround in the "new" method does not allow the above
very simple usage :(

You cannot instantiate EM::Connection yourself. Only the reactor can do so.

Ok, I was trying it for an "experiment" :)

Thanks for clarifying it.
