Handle BasicObject
instances
Set
local variable named symbol
as obj
.
def foo a = 1 bind = binding bind.local_variable_set(:a, 2) # set existing local variable `a' bind.local_variable_set(:b, 3) # create new local variable `b' # `b' exists only in binding p bind.local_variable_get(:a) #=> 2 p bind.local_variable_get(:b) #=> 3 p a #=> 2 p b #=> NameError end
This method behaves similarly to the following code:
binding.eval("#{symbol} = #{obj}")
if obj
can be dumped in Ruby code.
Returns true
if a local variable symbol
exists.
def foo a = 1 binding.local_variable_defined?(:a) #=> true binding.local_variable_defined?(:b) #=> false end
This method is the short version of the following code:
binding.eval("defined?(#{symbol}) == 'local-variable'")
Returns the value of a thread local variable that has been set. Note that these are different than fiber local values. For fiber local values, please see Thread#[]
and Thread#[]=
.
Thread
local values are carried along with threads, and do not respect fibers. For example:
Thread.new { Thread.current.thread_variable_set("foo", "bar") # set a thread local Thread.current["foo"] = "bar" # set a fiber local Fiber.new { Fiber.yield [ Thread.current.thread_variable_get("foo"), # get the thread local Thread.current["foo"], # get the fiber local ] }.resume }.join.value # => ['bar', nil]
The value “bar” is returned for the thread local, where nil is returned for the fiber local. The fiber is executed in the same thread, so the thread local values are available.
Returns the last win32 Error
of the current executing Thread
or nil if none
Sets the last win32 Error
of the current executing Thread
to error
Attempts to enter exclusive section. Returns false
if lock fails.
For backward compatibility
Starts tracing object allocations from the ObjectSpace
extension module.
For example:
require 'objspace' class C include ObjectSpace def foo trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "#{allocation_sourcefile(obj)}:#{allocation_sourceline(obj)}" end end end C.new.foo #=> "objtrace.rb:8"
This example has included the ObjectSpace
module to make it easier to read, but you can also use the ::trace_object_allocations
notation (recommended).
Note that this feature introduces a huge performance decrease and huge memory consumption.
Returns the class for the given object
.
class A def foo ObjectSpace::trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "#{ObjectSpace::allocation_class_path(obj)}" end end end A.new.foo #=> "Class"
See ::trace_object_allocations
for more information and examples.
Returns the method identifier for the given object
.
class A include ObjectSpace def foo trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "#{allocation_class_path(obj)}##{allocation_method_id(obj)}" end end end A.new.foo #=> "Class#new"
See ::trace_object_allocations
for more information and examples.
Return internal class of obj.
obj can be an instance of InternalObjectWrapper
.
Note that you should not use this method in your application.
Load the document contained in filename
. Returns the yaml contained in filename
as a Ruby object, or if the file is empty, it returns the specified fallback
return value, which defaults to false
.
NOTE: This method *should not* be used to parse untrusted documents, such as YAML
documents that are supplied via user input. Instead, please use the safe_load_file
method.
Safely loads the document contained in filename
. Returns the yaml contained in filename
as a Ruby object, or if the file is empty, it returns the specified fallback
return value, which defaults to false
. See safe_load
for options.
Quietly ensure the Gem directory dir
contains all the proper subdirectories. If we can’t create a directory due to a permission problem, then we will silently continue.
If mode
is given, missing directories are created with this mode.
World-writable directories will never be created.
The number of paths in the +$LOAD_PATH+ from activated gems. Used to prioritize -I
and ENV['RUBYLIB']
entries during require
.
Returns a String
containing the API compatibility version of Ruby
Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name
Glob pattern for require-able plugin suffixes.
Regexp
for require-able plugin suffixes.
Find
all ‘rubygems_plugin’ files in $LOAD_PATH and load them
Register a Gem::Specification
for default gem.
Two formats for the specification are supported:
MRI 2.0 style, where spec.files contains unprefixed require names. The spec’s filenames will be registered as-is.
New style, where spec.files contains files prefixed with paths from spec.require_paths. The prefixes are stripped before registering the spec’s filenames. Unprefixed files are omitted.
Paths where RubyGems’ .rb files and bin files are installed
