Results for: "Array"

Returns the exception raised on the :raise event or rescued on the :rescue event.

Returns an array of the names of global variables. This includes special regexp global variables such as $~ and $+, but does not include the numbered regexp global variables ($1, $2, etc.).

global_variables.grep /std/   #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]

Returns the names of the current local variables.

fred = 1
for i in 1..10
   # ...
end
local_variables   #=> [:fred, :i]

Arguments obj and opts here are the same as arguments obj and opts in JSON.generate.

By default, generates JSON data without checking for circular references in obj (option max_nesting set to false, disabled).

Raises an exception if obj contains circular references:

a = []; b = []; a.push(b); b.push(a)
# Raises SystemStackError (stack level too deep):
JSON.fast_generate(a)

Arguments obj and opts here are the same as arguments obj and opts in JSON.generate.

Default options are:

{
  indent: '  ',   # Two spaces
  space: ' ',     # One space
  array_nl: "\n", # Newline
  object_nl: "\n" # Newline
}

Example:

obj = {foo: [:bar, :baz], bat: {bam: 0, bad: 1}}
json = JSON.pretty_generate(obj)
puts json

Output:

{
  "foo": [
    "bar",
    "baz"
  ],
  "bat": {
    "bam": 0,
    "bad": 1
  }
}

Returns garbage collector generation for the given object.

class B
  include ObjectSpace

  def foo
    trace_object_allocations do
      obj = Object.new
      p "Generation is #{allocation_generation(obj)}"
    end
  end
end

B.new.foo #=> "Generation is 3"

Constant time memory comparison. Inputs are hashed using SHA-256 to mask the length of the secret. Returns true if the strings are identical, false otherwise.

Parse a file at filename. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Document.

Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.

Parse a YAML string in yaml. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Stream. This method can handle multiple YAML documents contained in yaml. filename is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError is raised.

If a block is given, a Psych::Nodes::Document node will be yielded to the block as it’s being parsed.

Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.

Example:

Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Stream:0x00>

Psych.parse_stream("--- a\n--- b") do |node|
  node # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00>
end

begin
  Psych.parse_stream("--- `", filename: "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    # => 'file.txt'
  ex.message # => "(file.txt): found character that cannot start any token"
end

Raises a TypeError when NilClass is passed.

See Psych::Nodes for more information about YAML AST.

Alias of GC.start

The mode needed to read a file as straight binary.

Reset the dir and path values. The next time dir or path is requested, the values will be calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide test isolation.

The RbConfig object for the deployment target platform.

This is usually the same as the running platform, but may be different if you are cross-compiling.

The version of the Marshal format for your Ruby.

Safely read a file in binary mode on all platforms.

Safely write a file in binary mode on all platforms.

Is this platform Solaris?

Returns true if the contents of files a and b are identical, false otherwise.

Arguments a and b should be interpretable as a path.

FileUtils.identical? and FileUtils.cmp are aliases for FileUtils.compare_file.

Related: FileUtils.compare_stream.

Returns true if the contents of files a and b are identical, false otherwise.

Arguments a and b should be interpretable as a path.

FileUtils.identical? and FileUtils.cmp are aliases for FileUtils.compare_file.

Related: FileUtils.compare_stream.

Returns true if the contents of streams a and b are identical, false otherwise.

Arguments a and b should be interpretable as a path.

Related: FileUtils.compare_file.

Returns true if the contents of streams a and b are identical, false otherwise.

Arguments a and b should be interpretable as a path.

Returns whether or not the variable var can be found in the common header files, or within any headers that you provide. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the variable name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_.

To check variables in an additional library, you need to check that library first using have_library().

For example, if have_var('foo') returned true, then the HAVE_FOO preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.

Returns whether or not the given framework can be found on your system. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the framework name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_FRAMEWORK_.

For example, if have_framework('Ruby') returned true, then the HAVE_FRAMEWORK_RUBY preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.

If fw is a pair of the framework name and its header file name that header file is checked, instead of the normally used header file which is named same as the framework.
