Format and print out counters as a String
. This returns a non-empty content only when --yjit-stats
is enabled.
If a class variable is written within a method definition, it has a different type than everywhere else.
Example:
x.foo += 42 ^^^ (for foo) x.foo += 42 ^ (for +) x.foo += 42 ^^^^^^^ (for foo=)
Example:
x[1] += 42 ^^^ (for []) x[1] += 42 ^ (for +) x[1] += 42 ^^^^^^ (for []=)
Return current keep_script_lines
status. Now it only returns true
of false
, but it can return other objects in future.

It set keep_script_lines
flag. If the flag is set, all loaded scripts are recorded in a interpreter process.

Returns the value of the given instance variable, or nil if the instance variable is not set. The @
part of the variable name should be included for regular instance variables. Throws a NameError
exception if the supplied symbol is not valid as an instance variable name. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_get(:@a) #=> "cat" fred.instance_variable_get("@b") #=> 99
Sets the instance variable named by symbol to the given object. This may circumvent the encapsulation intended by the author of the class, so it should be used with care. The variable does not have to exist prior to this call. If the instance variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog') #=> "dog" fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat') #=> "cat" fred.inspect #=> "#<Fred:0x401b3da8 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">"
Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Removes the named instance variable from obj, returning that variable’s value. The name can be passed as a symbol or as a string.
class Dummy attr_reader :var def initialize @var = 99 end def remove remove_instance_variable(:@var) end end d = Dummy.new d.var #=> 99 d.remove #=> 99 d.var #=> nil
Returns a list of the private instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false
, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
module Mod def method1() end private :method1 def method2() end end Mod.instance_methods #=> [:method2] Mod.private_instance_methods #=> [:method1]
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
Removes the named class variable from the receiver, returning that variable’s value.
class Example @@var = 99 puts remove_class_variable(:@@var) p(defined? @@var) end
produces:
99 nil
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
