Results for: "minmax"

Outputs obj to out like PP.pp but with no indent and newline.

PP.singleline_pp returns out.

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.

Usage

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.

Returns the index of the first element that meets a specified criterion, or nil if no such element is found.

With argument object given, returns the index of the first element that is == object:

['a', 'b', 'c', 'b'].find_index('b') # => 1

With a block given, calls the block with successive elements; returns the first element for which the block returns a truthy value:

['a', 'b', 'c', 'b'].find_index {|element| element.start_with?('b') } # => 1
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.find_index {|key, value| value > 1 }         # => 2

With no argument and no block given, returns an Enumerator.

Returns the elements for which the block returns the minimum values.

With a block given and no argument, returns the element for which the block returns the minimum value:

(1..4).min_by {|element| -element }                    # => 4
%w[a b c d].min_by {|element| -element.ord }           # => "d"
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min_by {|key, value| -value } # => [:baz, 2]
[].min_by {|element| -element }                        # => nil

With a block given and positive integer argument n given, returns an array containing the n elements for which the block returns minimum values:

(1..4).min_by(2) {|element| -element }
# => [4, 3]
%w[a b c d].min_by(2) {|element| -element.ord }
# => ["d", "c"]
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min_by(2) {|key, value| -value }
# => [[:baz, 2], [:bar, 1]]
[].min_by(2) {|element| -element }
# => []

Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

Returns the elements for which the block returns the maximum values.

With a block given and no argument, returns the element for which the block returns the maximum value:

(1..4).max_by {|element| -element }                    # => 1
%w[a b c d].max_by {|element| -element.ord }           # => "a"
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.max_by {|key, value| -value } # => [:foo, 0]
[].max_by {|element| -element }                        # => nil

With a block given and positive integer argument n given, returns an array containing the n elements for which the block returns maximum values:

(1..4).max_by(2) {|element| -element }
# => [1, 2]
%w[a b c d].max_by(2) {|element| -element.ord }
# => ["a", "b"]
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.max_by(2) {|key, value| -value }
# => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]]
[].max_by(2) {|element| -element }
# => []

Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

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.

Adds a post-installs hook that will be passed a Gem::DependencyInstaller and a list of installed specifications when Gem::DependencyInstaller#install is complete

Is this handler a streaming handler?

Returns the method invoke kind.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add')
puts method.invkind # => 1

Set domain for which this cookie applies

Returns an array of missing elements

For example this:

ExplainSyntax.new(code_lines: lines).missing
# => ["}"]

Would indicate that the source is missing a ‘}` character in the source code

Returns an array of missing syntax characters or ‘“end”` or `“keyword”`

left_right.missing
# => ["}"]

Returns the maximum size of the queue.

Sets the maximum size of the queue to the given number.
