If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Returns whether or not automatic compaction has been enabled.
Updates automatic compaction mode.
When enabled, the compactor will execute on every major collection.
Enabling compaction will degrade performance on major collections.
Alias of GC.start
Find the full path to the executable for gem name. If the exec_name is not given, an exception will be raised, otherwise the specified executable’s path is returned. requirements allows you to specify specific gem versions.
The mode needed to read a file as straight binary.
Adds a post-installs hook that will be passed a Gem::DependencyInstaller and a list of installed specifications when Gem::DependencyInstaller#install is complete
Safely read a file in binary mode on all platforms.
Glob pattern for require-able path suffixes.
Use the home and paths values for Gem.dir and Gem.path. Used mainly by the unit tests to provide environment isolation.
Is this platform Solaris?
The path to standard location of the user’s configuration directory.
The path to standard location of the user’s .gemrc file.
Default gem load path
Returns whether or not the given entry point func can be found within lib. If func is nil, the main() entry point is used by default. If found, it adds the library to list of libraries to be used when linking your extension.
If headers are provided, it will include those header files as the header files it looks in when searching for func.
The real name of the library to be linked can be altered by --with-FOOlib configuration option.
Returns whether or not the entry point func can be found within the library lib in one of the paths specified, where paths is an array of strings. If func is nil , then the main() function is used as the entry point.
If lib is found, then the path it was found on is added to the list of library paths searched and linked against.
Returns whether or not the variable var can be found in the common header files, or within any headers that you provide. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the variable name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_.
To check variables in an additional library, you need to check that library first using have_library().
For example, if have_var('foo') returned true, then the HAVE_FOO preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Returns whether or not the constant const is defined. You may optionally pass the type of const as [const, type], such as:
have_const(%w[PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER pthread_mutex_t], "pthread.h")
You may also pass additional headers to check against in addition to the common header files, and additional flags to opt which are then passed along to the compiler.
If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_CONST_.
For example, if have_const('foo') returned true, then the HAVE_CONST_FOO preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Tests for the presence of an --enable-config or --disable-config option. Returns true if the enable option is given, false if the disable option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if enable_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
Sets a target name that the user can then use to configure various “with” options with on the command line by using that name. For example, if the target is set to “foo”, then the user could use the --with-foo-dir=prefix, --with-foo-include=dir and --with-foo-lib=dir command line options to tell where to search for header/library files.
You may pass along additional parameters to specify default values. If one is given it is taken as default prefix, and if two are given they are taken as “include” and “lib” defaults in that order.
In any case, the return value will be an array of determined “include” and “lib” directories, either of which can be nil if no corresponding command line option is given when no default value is specified.
Note that dir_config only adds to the list of places to search for libraries and include files. It does not link the libraries into your application.
Returns compile/link information about an installed library in a tuple of [cflags, ldflags, libs], by using the command found first in the following commands:
If --with-{pkg}-config={command} is given via command line option: {command} {options}
{pkg}-config {options}
pkg-config {options} {pkg}
Where options is the option name without dashes, for instance "cflags" for the --cflags flag.
The values obtained are appended to $INCFLAGS, $CFLAGS, $LDFLAGS and $libs.
If one or more options argument is given, the config command is invoked with the options and a stripped output string is returned without modifying any of the global values mentioned above.
Returns a parse result whose value is an array of tokens that closely resembles the return value of Ripper::lex. The main difference is that the ‘:on_sp` token is not emitted.
For supported options, see Prism::parse.
