随便一记，“引用类型”

刚才在问答频道回答一个问题，用了类似这样的代码举例：

irb(main):001:0> 1.object_id
=> 3
irb(main):002:0> 1.value
NoMethodError: undefined method `value' for 1:Fixnum
        from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> class Fixnum
irb(main):004:1>   attr_accessor :value
irb(main):005:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):006:0> x = 1
=> 1
irb(main):007:0> x.object_id
=> 3
irb(main):008:0> x.value = 'original value'
=> "original value"
irb(main):009:0> def foo(n)
irb(main):010:1>   puts "n.object_id = #{n.object_id}"
irb(main):011:1>   n.value = 'foo value'
irb(main):012:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):013:0> foo(x)
n.object_id = 3
=> "foo value"
irb(main):014:0> x.object_id
=> 3
irb(main):015:0> x.value
=> "foo value"
irb(main):016:0> 1.object_id
=> 3
irb(main):017:0> 1.value
=> "foo value"
irb(main):018:0> 2.object_id
=> 5
irb(main):019:0> 2.value
=> nil

MRI的object_id就是VALUE的值。因为Fixnum是(n << 1) | 1的，所以1的object_id是3，嗯都没问题。
于是Fixnum还是应该看作“引用类型”……吧。虽然有些很神奇的特性 XD
