Results for: "remove_const"

Evaluates the given block in the context of the class/module. The method defined in the block will belong to the receiver. Any arguments passed to the method will be passed to the block. This can be used if the block needs to access instance variables.

class Thing
end
Thing.class_exec{
  def hello() "Hello there!" end
}
puts Thing.new.hello()

produces:

Hello there!

Evaluates the string or block in the context of mod, except that when a block is given, constant/class variable lookup is not affected. This can be used to add methods to a class. module_eval returns the result of evaluating its argument. The optional filename and lineno parameters set the text for error messages.

class Thing
end
a = %q{def hello() "Hello there!" end}
Thing.module_eval(a)
puts Thing.new.hello()
Thing.module_eval("invalid code", "dummy", 123)

produces:

Hello there!
dummy:123:in `module_eval': undefined local variable
    or method `code' for Thing:Class

Execute the provided block, but preserve the precision limit

BigDecimal.limit(100)
puts BigDecimal.limit
BigDecimal.save_limit do
    BigDecimal.limit(200)
    puts BigDecimal.limit
end
puts BigDecimal.limit

Returns true if the given year is a leap year of the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

Date.gregorian_leap?(1900)        #=> false
Date.gregorian_leap?(2000)        #=> true

This method is equivalent to d - n.

This method is equivalent to d << (n * 12).

Date.new(2001,2,3).prev_year      #=> #<Date: 2000-02-03 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).prev_year     #=> #<Date: 2007-02-28 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).prev_year(4)  #=> #<Date: 2004-02-29 ...>

See also Date#<<.

Waits until IO is readable without blocking and returns self, or nil when times out. Returns true immediately when buffered data is available.

Closes the read end of a duplex I/O stream (i.e., one that contains both a read and a write stream, such as a pipe). Will raise an IOError if the stream is not duplexed.

f = IO.popen("/bin/sh","r+")
f.close_read
f.readlines

produces:

prog.rb:3:in `readlines': not opened for reading (IOError)
 from prog.rb:3

Calling this method on closed IO object is just ignored since Ruby 2.3.

Returns a hash representing information about named captures of rxp.

A key of the hash is a name of the named captures. A value of the hash is an array which is list of indexes of corresponding named captures.

/(?<foo>.)(?<bar>.)/.named_captures
#=> {"foo"=>[1], "bar"=>[2]}

/(?<foo>.)(?<foo>.)/.named_captures
#=> {"foo"=>[1, 2]}

If there are no named captures, an empty hash is returned.

/(.)(.)/.named_captures
#=> {}

See FileTest.world_readable?.

See FileTest.writable_real?.

Disallows further read using shutdown system call.

s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
s1.close_read
s2.puts #=> Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE)

Returns an Addrinfo object for local address obtained by getsockname.

Note that addrinfo.protocol is filled by 0.

TCPSocket.open("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) {|s|
  p s.local_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 192.168.0.129:36873 TCP>
}

TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 1512) {|serv|
  p serv.local_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:1512 TCP>
}

Returns the IP address as a string.

Addrinfo.tcp("127.0.0.1", 80).ip_address    #=> "127.0.0.1"
Addrinfo.tcp("::1", 80).ip_address          #=> "::1"

Example

UNIXServer.open("/tmp/sock") {|serv|
  UNIXSocket.open("/tmp/sock") {|c|
    s = serv.accept

    c.send_io STDOUT
    stdout = s.recv_io

    p STDOUT.fileno #=> 1
    p stdout.fileno #=> 7

    stdout.puts "hello" # outputs "hello\n" to standard output.
  }
}

klass will determine the class of io returned (using the IO.for_fd singleton method or similar). If klass is nil, an integer file descriptor is returned.

mode is the same as the argument passed to IO.for_fd

Closes the read end of a StringIO. Will raise an IOError if the strio is not readable.

Returns true if strio is not readable, false otherwise.

Returns the pre-match

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
s.scan(/\w+/)           # -> "test"
s.scan(/\s+/)           # -> " "
s.pre_match             # -> "test"
s.post_match            # -> "string"

Invokes Release method of Dispatch interface of WIN32OLE object. You should not use this method because this method exists only for debugging WIN32OLE. The return value is reference counter of OLE object.

Creates GUID.

WIN32OLE.create_guid # => {1CB530F1-F6B1-404D-BCE6-1959BF91F4A8}

invokes Release method of Dispatch interface of WIN32OLE object. Usually, you do not need to call this method because Release method called automatically when WIN32OLE object garbaged.

removes the callback of event.

ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ev = WIN32OLE_EVENT.new(ie)
ev.on_event('BeforeNavigate2') {|*args|
  args.last[6] = true
}
  ...
ev.off_event('BeforeNavigate2')
  ...

Returns string of return value type of method.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add')
puts method.return_type # => Workbook
