The contents of the returned value are implementation specific. It may be changed in future.
This method is only for debugging TracePoint itself.

If object is string-like, parse the string and return the parsed result as a Ruby data structure. Otherwise, generate a JSON text from the Ruby data structure object and return it.
The opts argument is passed through to generate/parse respectively. See generate and parse for their documentation.

Produces a shallow copy of obj—the instance variables of obj are copied, but not the objects they reference. clone copies the frozen value state of obj, unless the :freeze keyword argument is given with a false or true value. See also the discussion under Object#dup.
class Klass attr_accessor :str end s1 = Klass.new #=> #<Klass:0x401b3a38> s1.str = "Hello" #=> "Hello" s2 = s1.clone #=> #<Klass:0x401b3998 @str="Hello"> s2.str[1,4] = "i" #=> "i" s1.inspect #=> "#<Klass:0x401b3a38 @str=\"Hi\">" s2.inspect #=> "#<Klass:0x401b3998 @str=\"Hi\">"
This method may have class-specific behavior. If so, that behavior will be documented under the #initialize_copy method of the class.
Returns a string converted from object.
Tries to convert object to a string using to_str first and to_s second:
String([0, 1, 2]) # => "[0, 1, 2]" String(0..5) # => "0..5" String({foo: 0, bar: 1}) # => "{:foo=>0, :bar=>1}"
Raises TypeError if object cannot be converted to a string.
Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.
Rational(2, 3) #=> (2/3) Rational(5) #=> (5/1) Rational(0.5) #=> (1/2) Rational(0.3) #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984) Rational("2/3") #=> (2/3) Rational("0.3") #=> (3/10) Rational("10 cents") #=> ArgumentError Rational(nil) #=> TypeError Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError Rational("10 cents", exception: false) #=> nil

Returns the count of elements, based on an argument or block criterion, if given.
With no argument and no block given, returns the number of elements:
[0, 1, 2].count # => 3 {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.count # => 3
With argument object given, returns the number of elements that are == to object:
[0, 1, 2, 1].count(1) # => 2
With a block given, calls the block with each element and returns the number of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:
[0, 1, 2, 3].count {|element| element < 2} # => 2 {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.count {|key, value| value < 2} # => 2
Returns an array of objects returned by the block.
With a block given, calls the block with successive elements; returns an array of the objects returned by the block:
(0..4).map {|i| i*i } # => [0, 1, 4, 9, 16] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.map {|key, value| value*2} # => [0, 2, 4]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
With a block given, returns an array of two arrays:
The first having those elements for which the block returns a truthy value.
The other having all other elements.
Examples:
p = (1..4).partition {|i| i.even? } p # => [[2, 4], [1, 3]] p = ('a'..'d').partition {|c| c < 'c' } p # => [["a", "b"], ["c", "d"]] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2, bat: 3} p = h.partition {|key, value| key.start_with?('b') } p # => [[[:bar, 1], [:baz, 2], [:bat, 3]], [[:foo, 0]]] p = h.partition {|key, value| value < 2 } p # => [[[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]], [[:baz, 2], [:bat, 3]]]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.

With integer argument n, returns an array containing the first n elements that exist:
(1..4).first(2) # => [1, 2] %w[a b c d].first(3) # => ["a", "b", "c"] %w[a b c d].first(50) # => ["a", "b", "c", "d"] {foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 2}.first(2) # => [[:foo, 1], [:bar, 1]] [].first(2) # => []
