Returns the set of bits corresponding to the options used when creating this Regexp (see Regexp::new for details. Note that additional bits may be set in the returned options: these are used internally by the regular expression code. These extra bits are ignored if the options are passed to Regexp::new.

Regexp::IGNORECASE                  #=> 1
Regexp::EXTENDED                    #=> 2
Regexp::MULTILINE                   #=> 4

/cat/.options                       #=> 0
/cat/ix.options                     #=> 3
Regexp.new('cat', true).options     #=> 1
/\xa1\xa2/e.options                 #=> 16

r = /cat/ix
Regexp.new(r.source, r.options)     #=> /cat/ix

Returns true if argument is optional.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
param1 = method.params[0]
puts "#{param1.name} #{param1.optional?}" # => Filename true

Returns true if this is a permutation matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.

Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.

Returns x/y;

Rational(1, 2)   #=> (1/2)
Rational('1/2')  #=> (1/2)
Rational(nil)    #=> TypeError
Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError

Syntax of string form:

string form = extra spaces , rational , extra spaces ;
rational = [ sign ] , unsigned rational ;
unsigned rational = numerator | numerator , "/" , denominator ;
numerator = integer part | fractional part | integer part , fractional part ;
denominator = digits ;
integer part = digits ;
fractional part = "." , digits , [ ( "e" | "E" ) , [ sign ] , digits ] ;
sign = "-" | "+" ;
digits = digit , { digit | "_" , digit } ;
digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" ;
extra spaces = ? \s* ? ;

See String#to_r.

Returns the options bitmask used in the last call to open()

Returns an Array of option names.

p FileUtils.options  #=> ["noop", "force", "verbose", "preserve", "mode"]

UNTESTED

Get the names of all sections in the current configuration

Get an array of all Instruction children. IMMUTABLE

Called when an instruction is encountered. EG: <?xsl sheet=‘foo’?> @p name the instruction name; in the example, “xsl” @p instruction the rest of the instruction. In the example, “sheet=‘foo’”

Creates or an HTTP connection based on uri, or retrieves an existing connection, using a proxy if needed.

Raises PStore::Error if the calling code is not in a PStore#transaction or if the code is in a read-only PStore#transaction.

Returns the status of the global “abort on exception” condition.

The default is false.

When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.

Can also be specified by the global $DEBUG flag or command line option -d.

See also ::abort_on_exception=.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception.

When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread. Returns the new state.

Thread.abort_on_exception = true
t1 = Thread.new do
  puts  "In new thread"
  raise "Exception from thread"
end
sleep(1)
puts "not reached"

This will produce:

In new thread
prog.rb:4: Exception from thread (RuntimeError)
 from prog.rb:2:in `initialize'
 from prog.rb:2:in `new'
 from prog.rb:2

See also ::abort_on_exception.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception=.

Returns the status of the thread-local “abort on exception” condition for this thr.

The default is false.

See also abort_on_exception=.

There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception.

When set to true, if this thr is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.

See also abort_on_exception.

There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception=.

Starts tracing object allocations from the ObjectSpace extension module.

For example:

require 'objspace'

class C
  include ObjectSpace

  def foo
    trace_object_allocations do
      obj = Object.new
      p "#{allocation_sourcefile(obj)}:#{allocation_sourceline(obj)}"
    end
  end
end

C.new.foo #=> "objtrace.rb:8"

This example has included the ObjectSpace module to make it easier to read, but you can also use the ::trace_object_allocations notation (recommended).

Note that this feature introduces a huge performance decrease and huge memory consumption.
