Returns the Ruby source filename and line number containing the definition of the constant specified. If the named constant is not found, nil
is returned. If the constant is found, but its source location can not be extracted (constant is defined in C code), empty array is returned.
inherit specifies whether to lookup in mod.ancestors
(true
by default).
# test.rb: class A # line 1 C1 = 1 C2 = 2 end module M # line 6 C3 = 3 end class B < A # line 10 include M C4 = 4 end class A # continuation of A definition C2 = 8 # constant redefinition; warned yet allowed end p B.const_source_location('C4') # => ["test.rb", 12] p B.const_source_location('C3') # => ["test.rb", 7] p B.const_source_location('C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] p B.const_source_location('C3', false) # => nil -- don't lookup in ancestors p A.const_source_location('C2') # => ["test.rb", 16] -- actual (last) definition place p Object.const_source_location('B') # => ["test.rb", 10] -- top-level constant could be looked through Object p Object.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- class reopening is NOT considered new definition p B.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- because Object is in ancestors p M.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- Object is not ancestor, but additionally checked for modules p Object.const_source_location('A::C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] -- nesting is supported p Object.const_source_location('String') # => [] -- constant is defined in C code
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
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
Handle BasicObject
instances
Return the native thread ID which is used by the Ruby thread.
The ID depends on the OS. (not POSIX thread ID returned by pthread_self(3))
On Linux it is TID returned by gettid(2).
On macOS it is the system-wide unique integral ID of thread returned by pthread_threadid_np(3).
On FreeBSD it is the unique integral ID of the thread returned by pthread_getthreadid_np(3).
On Windows it is the thread identifier returned by GetThreadId().
On other platforms, it raises NotImplementedError
.
NOTE: If the thread is not associated yet or already deassociated with a native thread, it returns nil. If the Ruby implementation uses M:N thread model, the ID may change depending on the timing.
Yields each frame of the current execution stack as a backtrace location object.
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 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.
Returns the size of memory allocated by malloc().
Only available if ruby was built with CALC_EXACT_MALLOC_SIZE
.
Returns information about object moved in the most recent GC compaction.
The returned hash
contains the following keys:
Hash
containing the type of the object as the key and the number of objects of that type that were considered for movement.
Hash
containing the type of the object as the key and the number of objects of that type that were actually moved.
Hash
containing the type of the object as the key and the number of objects of that type that were increased in size.
Hash
containing the type of the object as the key and the number of objects of that type that were decreased in size.
Some objects can’t be moved (due to pinning) so these numbers can be used to calculate compaction efficiency.
Returns information about the most recent garbage collection.
If the optional argument, hash, is given, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid probe effect.
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 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.
The file name and line number of the caller of the caller of this method.
depth
is how many layers up the call stack it should go.
e.g.,
def a; Gem.location_of_caller
; end a #=> [“x.rb”, 2] # (it’ll vary depending on file name and line number)
def b; c; end def c; Gem.location_of_caller(2)
; end b #=> [“x.rb”, 6] # (it’ll vary depending on file name and line number)
Returns the latest release-version specification for the gem name
.
Returns the latest release version of RubyGems.
Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name
Glob pattern for require-able plugin suffixes.
Path to specification files of default gems.
Deduce Ruby’s –program-prefix and –program-suffix from its install name
The default signing key path
