returns the directory nesting of the extension, ignoring the first part, so “ext/foo/bar/Cargo.toml” becomes “foo/bar”
It is ok to remove a gemspec from the dependency list?
If removing the gemspec creates breaks a currently ok dependency, then it is NOT ok to remove the gemspec.
The column number in code units of the given encoding where this location starts from the start of the line.
Default description for the gem install and update commands.
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
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 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 a list of the undefined instance methods defined in mod. The undefined methods of any ancestors are not included.
Similar to instance_method, searches public method only.
Returns the status of the global “abort on exception” condition.
The default is false
.
When set to true
, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.
Can also be specified by the global $DEBUG flag or command line option -d
.
See also ::abort_on_exception=
.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception
.
When set to true
, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread. Returns the new state.
Thread.abort_on_exception = true t1 = Thread.new do puts "In new thread" raise "Exception from thread" end sleep(1) puts "not reached"
This will produce:
In new thread prog.rb:4: Exception from thread (RuntimeError) from prog.rb:2:in `initialize' from prog.rb:2:in `new' from prog.rb:2
See also ::abort_on_exception
.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception=
.
Returns the status of the thread-local “abort on exception” condition for this thr
.
The default is false
.
See also abort_on_exception=
.
There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception
.
When set to true
, if this thr
is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.
See also abort_on_exception
.
There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception=

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.

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
