Returns the execution stack for the target thread—an array containing backtrace location objects.
See Thread::Backtrace::Location
for more information.
This method behaves similarly to Kernel#caller_locations
except it applies to a specific thread.
Return class or module of the method being called.
class C; def foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> C end.enable do C.new.foo end
If method is defined by a module, then that module is returned.
module M; def foo; end; end class C; include M; end; trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> M end.enable do C.new.foo end
Note: defined_class
returns singleton class.
6th block parameter of Kernel#set_trace_func
passes original class of attached by singleton class.
This is a difference between Kernel#set_trace_func and TracePoint.
class C; def self.foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> #<Class:C> end.enable do C.foo end
Value from exception raised on the :raise
event
Returns an array of the names of global variables. This includes special regexp global variables such as $~
and $+
, but does not include the numbered regexp global variables ($1
, $2
, etc.).
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
Returns true if this monitor is locked by current thread.
Returns the original line from source for from the given object
.

Adds aProc as a finalizer, to be called after obj was destroyed. The object ID of the obj will be passed as an argument to aProc. If aProc is a lambda or method, make sure it can be called with a single argument.
The return value is an array [0, aProc]
.
The two recommended patterns are to either create the finaliser proc in a non-instance method where it can safely capture the needed state, or to use a custom callable object that stores the needed state explicitly as instance variables.
class Foo def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, self.class.create_finalizer(data_needed_for_finalization)) end def self.create_finalizer(data_needed_for_finalization) proc { puts "finalizing #{data_needed_for_finalization}" } end end class Bar class Remover def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) @data_needed_for_finalization = data_needed_for_finalization end def call(id) puts "finalizing #{@data_needed_for_finalization}" end end def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Remover.new(data_needed_for_finalization)) end end
Note that if your finalizer references the object to be finalized it will never be run on GC
, although it will still be run at exit. You will get a warning if you capture the object to be finalized as the receiver of the finalizer.
class CapturesSelf def initialize(name) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, proc { # this finalizer will only be run on exit puts "finalizing #{name}" }) end end
Also note that finalization can be unpredictable and is never guaranteed to be run except on exit.
Removes all finalizers for obj.
Constant time memory comparison. Inputs are hashed using SHA-256 to mask the length of the secret. Returns true
if the strings are identical, false
otherwise.
Parse a file at filename
. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Document
.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError
when a YAML
syntax error is detected.
Parse a YAML
string in yaml
. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Stream
. This method can handle multiple YAML
documents contained in yaml
. filename
is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError
is raised.
If a block is given, a Psych::Nodes::Document
node will be yielded to the block as it’s being parsed.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError
when a YAML
syntax error is detected.
Example:
Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Stream:0x00> Psych.parse_stream("--- a\n--- b") do |node| node # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00> end begin Psych.parse_stream("--- `", filename: "file.txt") rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex ex.file # => 'file.txt' ex.message # => "(file.txt): found character that cannot start any token" end
Raises a TypeError
when NilClass
is passed.
See Psych::Nodes
for more information about YAML
AST.
Returns the full line that is being edited. This is useful from within the complete_proc for determining the context of the completion request.
The length of Readline.line_buffer
and GNU Readline’s rl_end are same.
Raises NotImplementedError
if the using readline library does not support.
Clear the current input line.
Combine two Adler-32 check values in to one. alder1
is the first Adler-32 value, adler2
is the second Adler-32 value. len2
is the length of the string used to generate adler2
.
Combine two CRC-32 check values in to one. crc1
is the first CRC-32 value, crc2
is the second CRC-32 value. len2
is the length of the string used to generate crc2
.
Start a dRuby server locally.
The new dRuby server will become the primary server, even if another server is currently the primary server.
uri
is the URI
for the server to bind to. If nil, the server will bind to random port on the default local host name and use the default dRuby protocol.
front
is the server’s front object. This may be nil.
config
is the configuration for the new server. This may be nil.
See DRbServer::new
.

Get the ‘current’ server.
In the context of execution taking place within the main thread of a dRuby server (typically, as a result of a remote call on the server or one of its objects), the current server is that server. Otherwise, the current server is the primary server.
If the above rule fails to find a server, a DRbServerNotFound
error is raised.
