Resolve the requested dependencies against the gems available via Gem.path and return an Array of Specification objects to be activated.
Dump only the raw version string, not the complete object. It’s a string for backwards (RubyGems 1.3.5 and earlier) compatibility.
Load custom marshal format. It’s a string for backwards (RubyGems 1.3.5 and earlier) compatibility.
returns an integer in (-infty, 0] a number closer to 0 means the dependency is less constraining
dependencies w/ 0 or 1 possibilities (ignoring version requirements) are given very negative values, so they always sort first, before dependencies that are unconstrained
Sets the ENABLE_SHARED entry in RbConfig::CONFIG to value and restores the original value when the block ends
Reads a binary file at path
Display a warning on stderr. Will ask question if it is not nil.
Display an error message in a location expected to get error messages. Will ask question if it is not nil.
Terminate the application with exit code status, running any exit handlers that might have been defined.

Returns the discarded bytes when Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError occurs.

primitive_errinfo returns important information regarding the last error as a 5-element array:
[result, enc1, enc2, error_bytes, readagain_bytes]
result is the last result of primitive_convert.
Other elements are only meaningful when result is :invalid_byte_sequence, :incomplete_input or :undefined_conversion.
enc1 and enc2 indicate a conversion step as a pair of strings. For example, a converter from EUC-JP to ISO-8859-1 converts a string as follows: EUC-JP -> UTF-8 -> ISO-8859-1. So [enc1, enc2] is either [“EUC-JP”, “UTF-8”] or [“UTF-8”, “ISO-8859-1”].
error_bytes and readagain_bytes indicate the byte sequences which caused the error. error_bytes is discarded portion. readagain_bytes is buffered portion which is read again on next conversion.
Example:
# \xff is invalid as EUC-JP. ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "Shift_JIS") ec.primitive_convert(src="\xff", dst="", nil, 10) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "EUC-JP", "UTF-8", "\xFF", ""] # HIRAGANA LETTER A (\xa4\xa2 in EUC-JP) is not representable in ISO-8859-1. # Since this error is occur in UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 conversion, # error_bytes is HIRAGANA LETTER A in UTF-8 (\xE3\x81\x82). ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1") ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4\xa2", dst="", nil, 10) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:undefined_conversion, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", "\xE3\x81\x82", ""] # partial character is invalid ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1") ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4", dst="", nil, 10) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:incomplete_input, "EUC-JP", "UTF-8", "\xA4", ""] # Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT prevents invalid errors by # partial characters. ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1") ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4", dst="", nil, 10, Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:source_buffer_empty, nil, nil, nil, nil] # \xd8\x00\x00@ is invalid as UTF-16BE because # no low surrogate after high surrogate (\xd8\x00). # It is detected by 3rd byte (\00) which is part of next character. # So the high surrogate (\xd8\x00) is discarded and # the 3rd byte is read again later. # Since the byte is buffered in ec, it is dropped from src. ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-16BE", "UTF-8") ec.primitive_convert(src="\xd8\x00\x00@", dst="", nil, 10) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16BE", "UTF-8", "\xD8\x00", "\x00"] p src #=> "@" # Similar to UTF-16BE, \x00\xd8@\x00 is invalid as UTF-16LE. # The problem is detected by 4th byte. ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-16LE", "UTF-8") ec.primitive_convert(src="\x00\xd8@\x00", dst="", nil, 10) p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16LE", "UTF-8", "\x00\xD8", "@\x00"] p src #=> ""
Returns an exception object for the last conversion. Returns nil if the last conversion did not produce an error.
“error” means that Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError and Encoding::UndefinedConversionError for Encoding::Converter#convert and :invalid_byte_sequence, :incomplete_input and :undefined_conversion for Encoding::Converter#primitive_convert.
