A set of rule and position in it’s RHS. Note that the number of pointers is more than rule’s RHS array, because pointer points right edge of the final symbol when reducing.

Raised when trying to activate a gem, and the gem exists on the system, but not the requested version. Instead of rescuing from this class, make sure to rescue from the superclass Gem::LoadError to catch all types of load errors.

Raised when attempting to uninstall a gem that isn’t in GEM_HOME.

Raised by Gem::Validator when something is not right in a gem.

Class that parses String’s into URI’s.

It contains a Hash set of patterns and Regexp’s that match and validate.

ConditionVariable objects augment class Mutex. Using condition variables, it is possible to suspend while in the middle of a critical section until a resource becomes available.

Example:

mutex = Thread::Mutex.new
resource = Thread::ConditionVariable.new

a = Thread.new {
   mutex.synchronize {
     # Thread 'a' now needs the resource
     resource.wait(mutex)
     # 'a' can now have the resource
   }
}

b = Thread.new {
   mutex.synchronize {
     # Thread 'b' has finished using the resource
     resource.signal
   }
}

A mixin that provides methods for parsing C struct and prototype signatures.

Example

require 'fiddle/import'

include Fiddle::CParser
  #=> Object

parse_ctype('int')
  #=> Fiddle::TYPE_INT

parse_struct_signature(['int i', 'char c'])
  #=> [[Fiddle::TYPE_INT, Fiddle::TYPE_CHAR], ["i", "c"]]

parse_signature('double sum(double, double)')
  #=> ["sum", Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE, [Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE, Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE]]

Mixin methods for install and update options for Gem::Commands

Mixin methods for local and remote Gem::Command options.

WIN32OLE_PARAM objects represent param information of the OLE method.

The InstructionSequence class represents a compiled sequence of instructions for the Virtual Machine used in MRI. Not all implementations of Ruby may implement this class, and for the implementations that implement it, the methods defined and behavior of the methods can change in any version.

With it, you can get a handle to the instructions that make up a method or a proc, compile strings of Ruby code down to VM instructions, and disassemble instruction sequences to strings for easy inspection. It is mostly useful if you want to learn how YARV works, but it also lets you control various settings for the Ruby iseq compiler.

You can find the source for the VM instructions in insns.def in the Ruby source.

The instruction sequence results will almost certainly change as Ruby changes, so example output in this documentation may be different from what you see.

Of course, this class is MRI specific.
