Returns true if method mid accepts the given option opt, false otherwise; the arguments may be strings or symbols:
FileUtils.have_option?(:chmod, :noop) # => true FileUtils.have_option?('chmod', 'secure') # => false
Returns an array of the string keyword name for method mid; the argument may be a string or a symbol:
FileUtils.options_of(:rm) # => ["force", "noop", "verbose"] FileUtils.options_of('mv') # => ["force", "noop", "verbose", "secure"]
Notify observers of a change in state if this object’s changed state is true.
This will invoke the method named in add_observer, passing *arg. The changed state is then set to false.
*arg
Any arguments to pass to the observers.
Verify compaction reference consistency.
This method is implementation specific. During compaction, objects that were moved are replaced with T_MOVED objects. No object should have a reference to a T_MOVED object after compaction.
This function expands the heap to ensure room to move all objects, compacts the heap to make sure everything moves, updates all references, then performs a full GC. If any object contains a reference to a T_MOVED object, that object should be pushed on the mark stack, and will make a SEGV.
Creates an option parser and fills it in with the help info for the command.
Add the –version option to the option parser.
Returns the status of the global “abort on exception” condition.
The default is false.
When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.
Can also be specified by the global $DEBUG flag or command line option -d.
See also ::abort_on_exception=.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception.
When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread. Returns the new state.
Thread.abort_on_exception = true t1 = Thread.new do puts "In new thread" raise "Exception from thread" end sleep(1) puts "not reached"
This will produce:
In new thread prog.rb:4: Exception from thread (RuntimeError) from prog.rb:2:in `initialize' from prog.rb:2:in `new' from prog.rb:2
See also ::abort_on_exception.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception=.
Returns the status of the global “report on exception” condition.
The default is true since Ruby 2.5.
All threads created when this flag is true will report a message on $stderr if an exception kills the thread.
Thread.new { 1.times { raise } }
will produce this output on $stderr:
#<Thread:...> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
Traceback (most recent call last):
2: from -e:1:in `block in <main>'
1: from -e:1:in `times'
This is done to catch errors in threads early. In some cases, you might not want this output. There are multiple ways to avoid the extra output:
If the exception is not intended, the best is to fix the cause of the exception so it does not happen anymore.
If the exception is intended, it might be better to rescue it closer to where it is raised rather then let it kill the Thread.
If it is guaranteed the Thread will be joined with Thread#join or Thread#value, then it is safe to disable this report with Thread.current.report_on_exception = false when starting the Thread. However, this might handle the exception much later, or not at all if the Thread is never joined due to the parent thread being blocked, etc.
See also ::report_on_exception=.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_on_exception=.
Returns the new state. When set to true, all threads created afterwards will inherit the condition and report a message on $stderr if an exception kills a thread:
Thread.report_on_exception = true t1 = Thread.new do puts "In new thread" raise "Exception from thread" end sleep(1) puts "In the main thread"
This will produce:
In new thread #<Thread:...prog.rb:2> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true): Traceback (most recent call last): prog.rb:4:in `block in <main>': Exception from thread (RuntimeError) In the main thread
See also ::report_on_exception.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_on_exception=.
Returns the status of the thread-local “abort on exception” condition for this thr.
The default is false.
See also abort_on_exception=.
There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception.
When set to true, if this thr is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.
See also abort_on_exception.
There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception=.
Returns the status of the thread-local “report on exception” condition for this thr.
The default value when creating a Thread is the value of the global flag Thread.report_on_exception.
See also report_on_exception=.
There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.
When set to true, a message is printed on $stderr if an exception kills this thr. See ::report_on_exception for details.
See also report_on_exception.
There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.
Specifies a character to be appended on completion. Nothing will be appended if an empty string (“”) or nil is specified.
For example:
require "readline" Readline.readline("> ", true) Readline.completion_append_character = " "
Result:
> Input "/var/li". > /var/li Press TAB key. > /var/lib Completes "b" and appends " ". So, you can continuously input "/usr". > /var/lib /usr
NOTE: Only one character can be specified. When “string” is specified, sets only “s” that is the first.
require "readline" Readline.completion_append_character = "string" p Readline.completion_append_character # => "s"
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Returns a string containing a character to be appended on completion. The default is a space (“ ”).
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
When called during a completion (e.g. from within your completion_proc), it will return a string containing the character used to quote the argument being completed, or nil if the argument is unquoted.
When called at other times, it will always return nil.
Note that Readline.completer_quote_characters must be set, or this method will always return nil.
Calls the block with each repeated permutation of length n of the elements of self; each permutation is an Array; returns self. The order of the permutations is indeterminate.
When a block and a positive Integer argument n are given, calls the block with each n-tuple repeated permutation of the elements of self. The number of permutations is self.size**n.
n = 1:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.repeated_permutation(1) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0] [1] [2]
n = 2:
a.repeated_permutation(2) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0, 0] [0, 1] [0, 2] [1, 0] [1, 1] [1, 2] [2, 0] [2, 1] [2, 2]
If n is zero, calls the block once with an empty Array.
If n is negative, does not call the block:
a.repeated_permutation(-1) {|permutation| fail 'Cannot happen' }
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.repeated_permutation(2) # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2]:permutation(2)>
Using Enumerators, it’s convenient to show the permutations and counts for some values of n:
e = a.repeated_permutation(0) e.size # => 1 e.to_a # => [[]] e = a.repeated_permutation(1) e.size # => 3 e.to_a # => [[0], [1], [2]] e = a.repeated_permutation(2) e.size # => 9 e.to_a # => [[0, 0], [0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 0], [1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 0], [2, 1], [2, 2]]
Return the accept character set for all new CGI instances.
Returns the fractional part of the second in range (Rational(0, 1)…Rational(1, 1)):
DateTime.new(2001, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.5).sec_fraction # => (1/2)
Date#second_fraction is an alias for Date#sec_fraction.
This method is defined for backward compatibility.
