Invoked when a reference is made to an undefined constant in mod. It is passed a symbol for the undefined constant, and returns a value to be used for that constant. The following code is an example of the same:
def Foo.const_missing(name) name # return the constant name as Symbol end Foo::UNDEFINED_CONST #=> :UNDEFINED_CONST: symbol returned
In the next example when a reference is made to an undefined constant, it attempts to load a file whose name is the lowercase version of the constant (thus class Fred
is assumed to be in file fred.rb
). If found, it returns the loaded class. It therefore implements an autoload feature similar to Kernel#autoload
and Module#autoload
.
def Object.const_missing(name) @looked_for ||= {} str_name = name.to_s raise "Class not found: #{name}" if @looked_for[str_name] @looked_for[str_name] = 1 file = str_name.downcase require file klass = const_get(name) return klass if klass raise "Class not found: #{name}" end
Returns the Encoding
of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil
.
Returns the Encoding
of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil
.
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF
as an Encoding
object.
If ARGF.set_encoding
has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external
has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil
is returned.
Returns true
if this is a lower triangular matrix.
Returns true
if this is an upper triangular matrix.
Outputs obj
to out
like PP.pp
but with no indent and newline.
PP.singleline_pp
returns out
.
Returns the sharing detection flag as a boolean value. It is false (nil) by default.
Sets the sharing detection flag to b.
This is similar to PrettyPrint::format
but the result has no breaks.
maxwidth
, newline
and genspace
are ignored.
The invocation of breakable
in the block doesn’t break a line and is treated as just an invocation of text
.
Closes the incoming port and returns its previous state. All further attempts to Ractor.receive
in the ractor, and send
to the ractor will fail with Ractor::ClosedError
.
r = Ractor.new {sleep(500)} r.close_incoming #=> false r.close_incoming #=> true r.send('test') # Ractor::ClosedError (The incoming-port is already closed)
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty.
Since Thread::handle_interrupt
can be used to defer asynchronous events, this method can be used to determine if there are any deferred events.
If you find this method returns true, then you may finish :never
blocks.
For example, the following method processes deferred asynchronous events immediately.
def Thread.kick_interrupt_immediately Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate) { Thread.pass } end
If error
is given, then check only for error
type deferred events.
th = Thread.new{ Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){ while true ... # reach safe point to invoke interrupt if Thread.pending_interrupt? Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate){} end ... end } } ... th.raise # stop thread
This example can also be written as the following, which you should use to avoid asynchronous interrupts.
flag = true th = Thread.new{ Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){ while true ... # reach safe point to invoke interrupt break if flag == false ... end } } ... flag = false # stop thread
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty for the target thread.
If error
is given, then check only for error
type deferred events.
See ::pending_interrupt?
for more information.
Compiled instruction sequence represented by a RubyVM::InstructionSequence
instance on the :script_compiled
event.
Note that this method is MRI specific.
Returns the Base64-encoded version of bin
. This method complies with RFC 4648. No line feeds are added.
Returns the Base64-decoded version of str
. This method complies with RFC 4648. ArgumentError
is raised if str
is incorrectly padded or contains non-alphabet characters. Note that CR or LF are also rejected.
Adds a post-install hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer
instance when Gem::Installer#install
is called
Adds a post-uninstall hook that will be passed a Gem::Uninstaller
instance and the spec that was uninstalled when Gem::Uninstaller#uninstall
is called
Returns the destination encoding as an encoding object.
Returns the destination encoding as an encoding object.
Returns the destination encoding as an Encoding
object.
Returns the index of the last element for which object == element
.
When argument object
is given but no block, returns the index of the last such element found:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.rindex('bar') # => 3
Returns nil
if no such object found.
When a block is given but no argument, calls the block with each successive element; returns the index of the last element for which the block returns a truthy value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.rindex {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 3
Returns nil
if the block never returns a truthy value.
When neither an argument nor a block is given, returns a new Enumerator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] e = a.rindex e # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2, "bar"]:rindex> e.each {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 3
