DO NOT USE THIS DIRECTLY.
Hook method to return whether the obj can respond to id method or not.
When the method name parameter is given as a string, the string is converted to a symbol.
See respond_to?, and the example of BasicObject.
Returns a list of the public instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
Returns a list of the protected instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
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
Similar to instance_method, searches public method only.
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
Yields while console input events are queued.
This method is Windows only.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is added to the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_added(id) puts "Adding #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end end
produces:
Adding singleton_method_added Adding one Adding three
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is removed from the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_removed(id) puts "Removing #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end class << self remove_method :three remove_method :one end end
produces:
Removing three Removing one
Checks for a method provided by this the delegate object by forwarding the call through _getobj_.
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'")
Raises PStore::Error if the calling code is not in a PStore#transaction or if the code is in a read-only PStore#transaction.
Returns information about the most recent garbage collection.
If the argument hash is given and is a Hash object, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid the probe effect.
If the argument key is given and is a Symbol object, it returns the value associated with the key. This is equivalent to GC.latest_gc_info[key].
Returns a list of paths matching glob from the latest gems that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:
Gem.find_latest_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end
if check_load_path is true (the default), then find_latest_files also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.
Unlike find_files, find_latest_files will return only files from the latest version of a gem.
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
Define method as delegator instance method with an optional alias name ali. Method calls to ali will be delegated to accessor.method. accessor should be a method name, instance variable name, or constant name. Use the full path to the constant if providing the constant name. Returns the name of the method defined.
class MyQueue CONST = 1 extend Forwardable attr_reader :queue def initialize @queue = [] end def_delegator :@queue, :push, :mypush def_delegator 'MyQueue::CONST', :to_i end q = MyQueue.new q.mypush 42 q.queue #=> [42] q.push 23 #=> NoMethodError q.to_i #=> 1
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
Defines a method method which delegates to accessor (i.e. it calls the method of the same name in accessor). If new_name is provided, it is used as the name for the delegate method. Returns the name of the method defined.
Returns whether or not the struct of type type contains member. If it does not, or the struct type can’t be found, then false is returned. You may optionally specify additional headers in which to look for the struct (in addition to the common header files).
If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name and the member name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_.
For example, if have_struct_member('struct foo', 'bar') returned true, then the HAVE_STRUCT_FOO_BAR preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
HAVE_ST_BAR is also defined for backward compatibility.
Return the length of the hash value in bytes.
Return the length of the hash value (the digest) in bytes.
Digest::SHA256.new.digest_length * 8 # => 256 Digest::SHA384.new.digest_length * 8 # => 384 Digest::SHA512.new.digest_length * 8 # => 512
For example, digests produced by Digest::SHA256 will always be 32 bytes (256 bits) in size.
ptr.to_str => string ptr.to_str(len) => string
Returns the pointer contents as a string.
When called with no arguments, this method will return the contents with the length of this pointer’s size.
When called with len, a string of len bytes will be returned.
