Take equal portions of Mike Stok and Sean Russell; mix vigorously, and pour into a tall, chilled glass. Serves 10,000.
Returns the list of Modules nested at the point of call.
module M1 module M2 $a = Module.nesting end end $a #=> [M1::M2, M1] $a[0].name #=> "M1::M2"
Set the handling of the ordering of options and arguments. A RuntimeError is raised if option processing has already started.
The supplied value must be a member of GetoptLong::ORDERINGS. It alters the processing of options as follows:
REQUIRE_ORDER :
Options are required to occur before non-options.
Processing of options ends as soon as a word is encountered that has not been preceded by an appropriate option flag.
For example, if -a and -b are options which do not take arguments, parsing command line arguments of ‘-a one -b two’ would result in ‘one’, ‘-b’, ‘two’ being left in ARGV, and only (‘-a’, ”) being processed as an option/arg pair.
This is the default ordering, if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. (This is for compatibility with GNU getopt_long.)
PERMUTE :
Options can occur anywhere in the command line parsed. This is the default behavior.
Every sequence of words which can be interpreted as an option (with or without argument) is treated as an option; non-option words are skipped.
For example, if -a does not require an argument and -b optionally takes an argument, parsing ‘-a one -b two three’ would result in (‘-a’,”) and (‘-b’, ‘two’) being processed as option/arg pairs, and ‘one’,‘three’ being left in ARGV.
If the ordering is set to PERMUTE but the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, REQUIRE_ORDER is used instead. This is for compatibility with GNU getopt_long.
RETURN_IN_ORDER :
All words on the command line are processed as options. Words not preceded by a short or long option flag are passed as arguments with an option of ” (empty string).
For example, if -a requires an argument but -b does not, a command line of ‘-a one -b two three’ would result in option/arg pairs of (‘-a’, ‘one’) (‘-b’, ”), (”, ‘two’), (”, ‘three’) being processed.
Returns the binding associated with prc. Note that Kernel#eval accepts either a Proc or a Binding object as its second parameter.
def fred(param) proc {} end b = fred(99) eval("param", b.binding) #=> 99
Return the generated binding object from event
Returns a Binding object, describing the variable and method bindings at the point of call. This object can be used when calling eval to execute the evaluated command in this environment. See also the description of class Binding.
def get_binding(param) binding end b = get_binding("hello") eval("param", b) #=> "hello"
Is this handler a streaming handler?

Returns true if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Returns true iff the scan pointer is at the beginning of the line.
s = StringScanner.new("test\ntest\n") s.bol? # => true s.scan(/te/) s.bol? # => false s.scan(/st\n/) s.bol? # => true s.terminate s.bol? # => true
Returns an array of instance variable names for the receiver. Note that simply defining an accessor does not create the corresponding instance variable.
class Fred attr_accessor :a1 def initialize @iv = 3 end end Fred.new.instance_variables #=> [:@iv]
Invoked when a reference is made to an undefined constant in mod. It is passed a symbol for the undefined constant, and returns a value to be used for that constant. The following code is an example of the same:
def Foo.const_missing(name) name # return the constant name as Symbol end Foo::UNDEFINED_CONST #=> :UNDEFINED_CONST: symbol returned
In the next example when a reference is made to an undefined constant, it attempts to load a file whose name is the lowercase version of the constant (thus class Fred is assumed to be in file fred.rb). If found, it returns the loaded class. It therefore implements an autoload feature similar to Kernel#autoload and Module#autoload.
def Object.const_missing(name) @looked_for ||= {} str_name = name.to_s raise "Class not found: #{name}" if @looked_for[str_name] @looked_for[str_name] = 1 file = str_name.downcase require file klass = const_get(name) return klass if klass raise "Class not found: #{name}" end
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
Returns true if this is a lower triangular matrix.
Returns true if this is an upper triangular matrix.
Outputs obj to out like PP.pp but with no indent and newline.
PP.singleline_pp returns out.
This is similar to PrettyPrint::format but the result has no breaks.
maxwidth, newline and genspace are ignored.
The invocation of breakable in the block doesn’t break a line and is treated as just an invocation of text.
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty.
Since Thread::handle_interrupt can be used to defer asynchronous events, this method can be used to determine if there are any deferred events.
If you find this method returns true, then you may finish :never blocks.
For example, the following method processes deferred asynchronous events immediately.
def Thread.kick_interrupt_immediately Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate) { Thread.pass } end
If error is given, then check only for error type deferred events.
th = Thread.new{
Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){
while true
...
# reach safe point to invoke interrupt
if Thread.pending_interrupt?
Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate){}
end
...
end
}
}
...
th.raise # stop thread
This example can also be written as the following, which you should use to avoid asynchronous interrupts.
flag = true
th = Thread.new{
Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){
while true
...
# reach safe point to invoke interrupt
break if flag == false
...
end
}
}
...
flag = false # stop thread
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty for the target thread.
If error is given, then check only for error type deferred events.
See ::pending_interrupt? for more information.
Returns the Base64-encoded version of bin. This method complies with RFC 4648. No line feeds are added.
