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.
Sets whether or not to ignore case on completion.
Returns true if completion ignores case. If no, returns false.
NOTE: Returns the same object that is specified by Readline.completion_case_fold= method.
require "readline" Readline.completion_case_fold = "This is a String." p Readline.completion_case_fold # => "This is a String."
Specifies a character to be appended on completion. Nothing will be appended if an empty string (“”) or nil is specified.
For example:
require "readline" Readline.readline("> ", true) Readline.completion_append_character = " "
Result:
> Input "/var/li". > /var/li Press TAB key. > /var/lib Completes "b" and appends " ". So, you can continuously input "/usr". > /var/lib /usr
NOTE: Only one character can be specified. When “string” is specified, sets only “s” that is the first.
require "readline" Readline.completion_append_character = "string" p Readline.completion_append_character # => "s"
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Returns a string containing a character to be appended on completion. The default is a space (“ ”).
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
When called during a completion (e.g. from within your completion_proc), it will return a string containing the character used to quote the argument being completed, or nil if the argument is unquoted.
When called at other times, it will always return nil.
Note that Readline.completer_quote_characters must be set, or this method will always return nil.
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
Define method as delegator instance method with an optional alias name ali. Method calls to ali will be delegated to accessor.method.
class MyQueue extend Forwardable attr_reader :queue def initialize @queue = [] end def_delegator :@queue, :push, :mypush end q = MyQueue.new q.mypush 42 q.queue #=> [42] q.push 23 #=> NoMethodError
Returns a new array containing self‘s elements in reverse order.
[ "a", "b", "c" ].reverse #=> ["c", "b", "a"] [ 1 ].reverse #=> [1]
Reverses self in place.
a = [ "a", "b", "c" ] a.reverse! #=> ["c", "b", "a"] a #=> ["c", "b", "a"]
Returns the remainder after dividing int by numeric.
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate.
5.remainder(3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(3) #=> -2 5.remainder(-3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(-3) #=> -2 5.remainder(1.5) #=> 0.5
See Numeric#divmod.
Returns a new string with the characters from str in reverse order.
"stressed".reverse #=> "desserts"
Reverses str in place.
Return the receiver associated with this KeyError exception.
Return the receiver associated with this NameError exception.
Returns the remainder from dividing by the value.
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate
The opposite of Pathname#absolute?
It returns false if the pathname begins with a slash.
p = Pathname.new('/im/sure') p.relative? #=> false p = Pathname.new('not/so/sure') p.relative? #=> true
Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup. It returns a string in RFC3172 form for an IPv6 address.
Returns the bound receiver of the binding object.
Returns the bound receiver of the method object.
(1..3).method(:map).receiver # => 1..3
When RubyGems is required, Kernel#require is replaced with our own which is capable of loading gems on demand.
When you call require 'x', this is what happens:
If the file can be loaded from the existing Ruby loadpath, it is.
Otherwise, installed gems are searched for a file that matches. If it’s found in gem ‘y’, that gem is activated (added to the loadpath).
The normal require functionality of returning false if that file has already been loaded is preserved.
Refresh available gems from disk.
