Returns a new array by removing duplicate values in self
.
If a block is given, it will use the return value of the block for comparison.
It compares values using their hash
and eql?
methods for efficiency.
self
is traversed in order, and the first occurrence is kept.
a = [ "a", "a", "b", "b", "c" ] a.uniq # => ["a", "b", "c"] b = [["student","sam"], ["student","george"], ["teacher","matz"]] b.uniq {|s| s.first} # => [["student", "sam"], ["teacher", "matz"]]
UNIXServer
represents a UNIX domain stream server socket.
UNIXSocket
represents a UNIX domain stream client socket.
Ruby supports two forms of objectified methods. Class
Method
is used to represent methods that are associated with a particular object: these method objects are bound to that object. Bound method objects for an object can be created using Object#method
.
Ruby also supports unbound methods; methods objects that are not associated with a particular object. These can be created either by calling Module#instance_method
or by calling unbind
on a bound method object. The result of both of these is an UnboundMethod
object.
Unbound methods can only be called after they are bound to an object. That object must be a kind_of? the method’s original class.
class Square def area @side * @side end def initialize(side) @side = side end end area_un = Square.instance_method(:area) s = Square.new(12) area = area_un.bind(s) area.call #=> 144
Unbound methods are a reference to the method at the time it was objectified: subsequent changes to the underlying class will not affect the unbound method.
class Test def test :original end end um = Test.instance_method(:test) class Test def test :modified end end t = Test.new t.test #=> :modified um.bind(t).call #=> :original
define UnicodeNormalize
module here so that we don’t have to look it up
C union shell
A C union wrapper
This exception is raised if the required unicode support is missing on the system. Usually this means that the iconv library is not installed.
Implements DRb
over a UNIX socket
DRb
UNIX socket URIs look like drbunix:<path>?<option>
. The option is optional.
Raised when removing a gem with the uninstall command fails
An Uninstaller
.
The uninstaller fires pre and post uninstall hooks. Hooks can be added either through a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem or via a rubygems/defaults/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb or rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb file. See Gem.pre_uninstall
and Gem.post_uninstall
for details.
The class of the singleton object nil
.
A generic error class raised when an invalid operation is attempted. Kernel#raise
will raise a RuntimeError
if no Exception
class is specified.
raise "ouch"
raises the exception:
RuntimeError: ouch
Raised when OLE processing failed.
EX:
obj = WIN32OLE.new("NonExistProgID")
raises the exception:
WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown OLE server: `NonExistProgID' HRESULT error code:0x800401f3 Invalid class string
Use the Monitor
class when you want to have a lock object for blocks with mutual exclusion.
require 'monitor' lock = Monitor.new lock.synchronize do # exclusive access end
A class that provides two-phase lock with a counter. See Sync_m
for details.
Raised when throw
is called with a tag which does not have corresponding catch
block.
throw "foo", "bar"
raises the exception:
UncaughtThrowError: uncaught throw "foo"
The Warning
module contains a single method named warn
, and the module extends itself, making Warning.warn
available. Warning.warn
is called for all warnings issued by Ruby. By default, warnings are printed to $stderr.
By overriding Warning.warn
, you can change how warnings are handled by Ruby, either filtering some warnings, and/or outputting warnings somewhere other than $stderr. When Warning.warn
is overridden, super can be called to get the default behavior of printing the warning to $stderr.
In concurrent programming, a monitor is an object or module intended to be used safely by more than one thread. The defining characteristic of a monitor is that its methods are executed with mutual exclusion. That is, at each point in time, at most one thread may be executing any of its methods. This mutual exclusion greatly simplifies reasoning about the implementation of monitors compared to reasoning about parallel code that updates a data structure.
You can read more about the general principles on the Wikipedia page for Monitors
require 'monitor.rb' buf = [] buf.extend(MonitorMixin) empty_cond = buf.new_cond # consumer Thread.start do loop do buf.synchronize do empty_cond.wait_while { buf.empty? } print buf.shift end end end # producer while line = ARGF.gets buf.synchronize do buf.push(line) empty_cond.signal end end
The consumer thread waits for the producer thread to push a line to buf while buf.empty?
. The producer thread (main thread) reads a line from ARGF
and pushes it into buf then calls empty_cond.signal
to notify the consumer thread of new data.
