Sets the temporary name of the module. This name is reflected in introspection of the module and the values that are related to it, such as instances, constants, and methods.

The name should be nil or non-empty string that is not a valid constant name (to avoid confusing between permanent and temporary names).

The method can be useful to distinguish dynamically generated classes and modules without assigning them to constants.

If the module is given a permanent name by assigning it to a constant, the temporary name is discarded. A temporary name can’t be assigned to modules that have a permanent name.

If the given name is nil, the module becomes anonymous again.

Example:

m = Module.new # => #<Module:0x0000000102c68f38>
m.name #=> nil

m.set_temporary_name("fake_name") # => fake_name
m.name #=> "fake_name"

m.set_temporary_name(nil) # => #<Module:0x0000000102c68f38>
m.name #=> nil

c = Class.new
c.set_temporary_name("MyClass(with description)")

c.new # => #<MyClass(with description):0x0....>

c::M = m
c::M.name #=> "MyClass(with description)::M"

# Assigning to a constant replaces the name with a permanent one
C = c

C.name #=> "C"
C::M.name #=> "C::M"
c.new # => #<C:0x0....>

Suffixes for dynamic library require-able paths.

Generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number in the range 0…range.

See also the man page BN_rand_range(3).

Returns the size of arguments of the method.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
puts method.size_params # => 11

Returns library name. If the method fails to access library name, WIN32OLERuntimeError is raised.

tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
tlib.library_name # => Excel

Return the character offset for the given byte offset.

Return the column number in characters for the given byte offset.
