Returns the value of the given class variable (or throws a NameError
exception). The @@
part of the variable name should be included for regular class variables. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_get(:@@foo) #=> 99
Sets the class variable named by symbol to the given object. If the class variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred @@foo = 99 def foo @@foo end end Fred.class_variable_set(:@@foo, 101) #=> 101 Fred.new.foo #=> 101
Returns true
if the given class variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@foo) #=> true Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@bar) #=> false
Returns true
if the named private method is defined by mod. If inherit is set, the lookup will also search mod’s ancestors. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
module A def method1() end end class B private def method2() end end class C < B include A def method3() end end A.method_defined? :method1 #=> true C.private_method_defined? "method1" #=> false C.private_method_defined? "method2" #=> true C.private_method_defined? "method2", true #=> true C.private_method_defined? "method2", false #=> false C.method_defined? "method2" #=> false
Makes existing class methods private. Often used to hide the default constructor new
.
String
arguments are converted to symbols. An Array
of Symbols and/or Strings is also accepted.
class SimpleSingleton # Not thread safe private_class_method :new def SimpleSingleton.create(*args, &block) @me = new(*args, &block) if ! @me @me end end
Returns IO
instance tied to ARGF for writing if inplace mode is enabled.
Returns the value of the local variable symbol
.
def foo a = 1 binding.local_variable_get(:a) #=> 1 binding.local_variable_get(:b) #=> NameError end
This method is the short version of the following code:
binding.eval("#{symbol}")
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.
Sets a thread local with key
to value
. Note that these are local to threads, and not to fibers. Please see Thread#thread_variable_get
and Thread#[]
for more information.
Verify internal consistency.
This method is implementation specific. Now this method checks generational consistency if RGenGC is supported.
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.
Enable to measure GC time. You can get the result with GC.stat(:time)
. Note that GC time measurement can cause some performance overhead.
Return measure_total_time
flag (default: true
). Note that measurement can affect the application performance.
Returns the value of Gem.source_date_epoch_string
, as a Time
object.
This is used throughout RubyGems for enabling reproducible builds.
Securely removes the entry given by path
, which should be the entry for a regular file, a symbolic link, or a directory.
Argument path
should be interpretable as a path.
Avoids a local vulnerability that can exist in certain circumstances; see Avoiding the TOCTTOU Vulnerability.
Optional argument force
specifies whether to ignore raised exceptions of StandardError
and its descendants.
