Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Defines a singleton method in the receiver. The method parameter can be a Proc
, a Method
or an UnboundMethod
object. If a block is specified, it is used as the method body. If a block or a method has parameters, they’re used as method parameters.
class A class << self def class_name to_s end end end A.define_singleton_method(:who_am_i) do "I am: #{class_name}" end A.who_am_i # ==> "I am: A" guy = "Bob" guy.define_singleton_method(:hello) { "#{self}: Hello there!" } guy.hello #=> "Bob: Hello there!" chris = "Chris" chris.define_singleton_method(:greet) {|greeting| "#{greeting}, I'm Chris!" } chris.greet("Hi") #=> "Hi, I'm Chris!"
Passes each grapheme cluster in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given. Unlike String#each_char
, this enumerates by grapheme clusters defined by Unicode Standard Annex #29 unicode.org/reports/tr29/
"a\u0300".each_char.to_a.size #=> 2 "a\u0300".each_grapheme_cluster.to_a.size #=> 1
Returns a list of the public instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false
, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
Returns a list of the protected instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false
, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
Returns a list of the private instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false
, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
module Mod def method1() end private :method1 def method2() end end Mod.instance_methods #=> [:method2] Mod.private_instance_methods #=> [:method1]
Returns the Ruby source filename and line number containing the definition of the constant specified. If the named constant is not found, nil
is returned. If the constant is found, but its source location can not be extracted (constant is defined in C code), empty array is returned.
inherit specifies whether to lookup in mod.ancestors
(true
by default).
# test.rb: class A # line 1 C1 = 1 C2 = 2 end module M # line 6 C3 = 3 end class B < A # line 10 include M C4 = 4 end class A # continuation of A definition C2 = 8 # constant redefinition; warned yet allowed end p B.const_source_location('C4') # => ["test.rb", 12] p B.const_source_location('C3') # => ["test.rb", 7] p B.const_source_location('C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] p B.const_source_location('C3', false) # => nil -- don't lookup in ancestors p A.const_source_location('C2') # => ["test.rb", 16] -- actual (last) definition place p Object.const_source_location('B') # => ["test.rb", 10] -- top-level constant could be looked through Object p Object.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- class reopening is NOT considered new definition p B.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- because Object is in ancestors p M.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- Object is not ancestor, but additionally checked for modules p Object.const_source_location('A::C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] -- nesting is supported p Object.const_source_location('String') # => [] -- constant is defined in C code
Removes the named class variable from the receiver, returning that variable’s value.
class Example @@var = 99 puts remove_class_variable(:@@var) p(defined? @@var) end
produces:
99 nil
Similar to instance_method, searches public method only.
Makes the set compare its elements by their identity and returns self. This method may not be supported by all subclasses of Set
.
Returns true if the set will compare its elements by their identity. Also see Set#compare_by_identity
.
Returns a relative path from the given base_directory
to the receiver.
If self
is absolute, then base_directory
must be absolute too.
If self
is relative, then base_directory
must be relative too.
This method doesn’t access the filesystem. It assumes no symlinks.
ArgumentError
is raised when it cannot find a relative path.
Note that this method does not handle situations where the case sensitivity of the filesystem in use differs from the operating system default.
Returns a string representation of lex_state.
Receive UDP/IP packets from the given sockets. For each packet received, the block is called.
The block receives msg and msg_src. msg is a string which is the payload of the received packet. msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource
object which is used for reply.
Socket.udp_server_loop
can be implemented using this method as follows.
udp_server_sockets(host, port) {|sockets| loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) udp_server_recv(readable) {|msg, msg_src| ... } } }
Returns true for IPv6 multicast organization-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns IPv4 address of IPv4 mapped/compatible IPv6 address. It returns nil if self
is not IPv4 mapped/compatible IPv6 address.
Addrinfo.ip("::192.0.2.3").ipv6_to_ipv4 #=> #<Addrinfo: 192.0.2.3> Addrinfo.ip("::ffff:192.0.2.3").ipv6_to_ipv4 #=> #<Addrinfo: 192.0.2.3> Addrinfo.ip("::1").ipv6_to_ipv4 #=> nil Addrinfo.ip("192.0.2.3").ipv6_to_ipv4 #=> nil Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock").ipv6_to_ipv4 #=> nil
Returns detail information of return value type of method. The information is array.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add') p method.return_type_detail # => ["PTR", "USERDEFINED", "Workbook"]
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is added to the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_added(id) puts "Adding #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end end
produces:
Adding singleton_method_added Adding one Adding three
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is undefined in the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_undefined(id) puts "Undefining #{id.id2name}" end def Chatty.one() end class << self undef_method(:one) end end
produces:
Undefining one
