Returns the seed value used to initialize the generator. This may be used to initialize another generator with the same state at a later time, causing it to produce the same sequence of numbers.
prng1 = Random.new(1234) prng1.seed #=> 1234 prng1.rand(100) #=> 47 prng2 = Random.new(prng1.seed) prng2.rand(100) #=> 47
Prevents threads from being added to or removed from the receiving ThreadGroup.
New threads can still be started in an enclosed ThreadGroup.
ThreadGroup::Default.enclose #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x4029d914> thr = Thread.new { Thread.stop } #=> #<Thread:0x402a7210 sleep> tg = ThreadGroup.new #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x402752d4> tg.add thr #=> ThreadError: can't move from the enclosed thread group
Returns true if the thgrp is enclosed. See also ThreadGroup#enclose.
Basically the same as ::new. However, if class Thread is subclassed, then calling start in that subclass will not invoke the subclass’s initialize method.
Stops execution of the current thread, putting it into a “sleep” state, and schedules execution of another thread.
a = Thread.new { print "a"; Thread.stop; print "c" } sleep 0.1 while a.status!='sleep' print "b" a.run a.join #=> "abc"
Give the thread scheduler a hint to pass execution to another thread. A running thread may or may not switch, it depends on OS and processor.
Raises an exception from the given thread. The caller does not have to be thr. See Kernel#raise for more information.
Thread.abort_on_exception = true a = Thread.new { sleep(200) } a.raise("Gotcha")
This will produce:
prog.rb:3: Gotcha (RuntimeError) from prog.rb:2:in `initialize' from prog.rb:2:in `new' from prog.rb:2
Terminates thr and schedules another thread to be run, returning the terminated Thread. If this is the main thread, or the last thread, exits the process.
Returns the priority of thr. Default is inherited from the current thread which creating the new thread, or zero for the initial main thread; higher-priority thread will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).
This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.
Thread.current.priority #=> 0
Sets the priority of thr to integer. Higher-priority threads will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).
This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.
count1 = count2 = 0 a = Thread.new do loop { count1 += 1 } end a.priority = -1 b = Thread.new do loop { count2 += 1 } end b.priority = -2 sleep 1 #=> 1 count1 #=> 622504 count2 #=> 5832
Returns true if thr is dead or sleeping.
a = Thread.new { Thread.stop } b = Thread.current a.stop? #=> true b.stop? #=> false
Obtains a lock, runs the block, and releases the lock when the block completes. See the example under Mutex.
Closes the queue. A closed queue cannot be re-opened.
After the call to close completes, the following are true:
closed? will return true
close will be ignored.
calling enq/push/<< will raise a ClosedQueueError.
when empty? is false, calling deq/pop/shift will return an object from the queue as usual.
when empty? is true, deq(false) will not suspend the thread and will return nil. deq(true) will raise a ThreadError.
ClosedQueueError is inherited from StopIteration, so that you can break loop block.
Example:
q = Queue.new
Thread.new{
while e = q.deq # wait for nil to break loop
# ...
end
}
q.close
Returns true if the queue is closed.
Retrieves data from the queue.
If the queue is empty, the calling thread is suspended until data is pushed onto the queue. If non_block is true, the thread isn’t suspended, and ThreadError is raised.
Returns true if the queue is empty.
Removes all objects from the queue.
Similar to Queue#close.
The difference is behavior with waiting enqueuing threads.
If there are waiting enqueuing threads, they are interrupted by raising ClosedQueueError(‘queue closed’).
Retrieves data from the queue.
If the queue is empty, the calling thread is suspended until data is pushed onto the queue. If non_block is true, the thread isn’t suspended, and ThreadError is raised.
Returns true if the queue is empty.
Removes all objects from the queue.
Path of the file being run
With no arguments, raises the exception in $! or raises a RuntimeError if $! is nil. With a single String argument, raises a RuntimeError with the string as a message. Otherwise, the first parameter should be an Exception class (or another object that returns an Exception object when sent an exception message). The optional second parameter sets the message associated with the exception (accessible via Exception#message), and the third parameter is an array of callback information (accessible via Exception#backtrace). The cause of the generated exception (accessible via Exception#cause) is automatically set to the “current” exception ($!), if any. An alternative value, either an Exception object or nil, can be specified via the :cause argument.
Exceptions are caught by the rescue clause of begin...end blocks.
