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.
Opens a new transaction for the data store. Code executed inside a block passed to this method may read and write data to and from the data store file.
At the end of the block, changes are committed to the data store automatically. You may exit the transaction early with a call to either PStore#commit or PStore#abort. See those methods for details about how changes are handled. Raising an uncaught Exception in the block is equivalent to calling PStore#abort.
If read_only is set to true, you will only be allowed to read from the data store during the transaction and any attempts to change the data will raise a PStore::Error.
Note that PStore does not support nested transactions.
Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.
Rational(2, 3) #=> (2/3) Rational(5) #=> (5/1) Rational(0.5) #=> (1/2) Rational(0.3) #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984) Rational("2/3") #=> (2/3) Rational("0.3") #=> (3/10) Rational("10 cents") #=> ArgumentError Rational(nil) #=> TypeError Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError Rational("10 cents", exception: false) #=> nil
Syntax of the 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* ? ;

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"]
Returns the fractional part of the second.
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6.5).sec_fraction #=> (1/2)
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 global “report on exception” condition.
The default is true since Ruby 2.5.
All threads created when this flag is true will report a message on $stderr if an exception kills the thread.
Thread.new { 1.times { raise } }
will produce this output on $stderr:
#<Thread:...> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
Traceback (most recent call last):
2: from -e:1:in `block in <main>'
1: from -e:1:in `times'
This is done to catch errors in threads early. In some cases, you might not want this output. There are multiple ways to avoid the extra output:
If the exception is not intended, the best is to fix the cause of the exception so it does not happen anymore.
If the exception is intended, it might be better to rescue it closer to where it is raised rather then let it kill the Thread.
If it is guaranteed the Thread will be joined with Thread#join or Thread#value, then it is safe to disable this report with Thread.current.report_on_exception = false when starting the Thread. However, this might handle the exception much later, or not at all if the Thread is never joined due to the parent thread being blocked, etc.
See also ::report_on_exception=.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_on_exception=.
Returns the new state. When set to true, all threads created afterwards will inherit the condition and report a message on $stderr if an exception kills a thread:
Thread.report_on_exception = true t1 = Thread.new do puts "In new thread" raise "Exception from thread" end sleep(1) puts "In the main thread"
This will produce:
In new thread #<Thread:...prog.rb:2> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true): Traceback (most recent call last): prog.rb:4:in `block in <main>': Exception from thread (RuntimeError) In the main thread

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_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=.
Returns the status of the thread-local “report on exception” condition for this thr.
The default value when creating a Thread is the value of the global flag Thread.report_on_exception.
See also report_on_exception=.
There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.
When set to true, a message is printed on $stderr if an exception kills this thr. See ::report_on_exception for details.
See also report_on_exception.
There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.
Specifies a Proc object proc to determine if a character in the user’s input is escaped. It should take the user’s input and the index of the character in question as input, and return a boolean (true if the specified character is escaped).
Readline will only call this proc with characters specified in completer_quote_characters, to discover if they indicate the end of a quoted argument, or characters specified in completer_word_break_characters, to discover if they indicate a break between arguments.
If completer_quote_characters is not set, or if the user input doesn’t contain one of the completer_quote_characters or a ++ character, Readline will not attempt to use this proc at all.
Raises ArgumentError if proc does not respond to the call method.
Returns the quoting detection Proc object.
Writes out text, substituting special characters beforehand. out A String, IO, or any other object supporting <<( String ) input the text to substitute and the write out
z=utf8.unpack("U*") ascOut="" z.each{|r| if r < 0x100 ascOut.concat(r.chr) else ascOut.concat(sprintf("&#x%x;", r)) end } puts ascOut
Starts tracing object allocations.
Initialize WIN32OLE object(ActiveX Control) by calling IPersistMemory::InitNew.
Before calling OLE method, some kind of the ActiveX controls created with MFC should be initialized by calling IPersistXXX::InitNew.
If and only if you received the exception “HRESULT error code: 0x8000ffff catastrophic failure”, try this method before invoking any ole_method.
obj = WIN32OLE.new("ProgID_or_GUID_of_ActiveX_Control")
obj.ole_activex_initialize
obj.method(...)
Makes hsh compare its keys by their identity, i.e. it will consider exact same objects as same keys.
h1 = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200, :c => "c" } h1["a"] #=> 100 h1.compare_by_identity h1.compare_by_identity? #=> true h1["a".dup] #=> nil # different objects. h1[:c] #=> "c" # same symbols are all same.
