Subclass of StreamUI that instantiates the user interaction using $stdin, $stdout, and $stderr.
Turns a “invalid block(s)” into useful context
There are three main phases in the algorithm:
Sanitize/format input source
Search for invalid blocks
Format invalid blocks into something meaninful
This class handles the third part.
The algorithm is very good at capturing all of a syntax error in a single block in number 2, however the results can contain ambiguities. Humans are good at pattern matching and filtering and can mentally remove extraneous data, but they can’t add extra data that’s not present.
In the case of known ambiguious cases, this class adds context back to the ambiguity so the programmer has full information.
Beyond handling these ambiguities, it also captures surrounding code context information:
puts block.to_s # => "def bark" context = CaptureCodeContext.new( blocks: block, code_lines: code_lines ) lines = context.call.map(&:original) puts lines.join # => class Dog def bark end
Keeps track of what elements are in the queue in priority and also ensures that when one element engulfs/covers/eats another that the larger element evicts the smaller element
A special object which replaces any value that was moved to another ractor in Ractor#send
or Ractor.yield
. Any attempt to access the object results in Ractor::MovedError
.
r = Ractor.new { receive } ary = [1, 2, 3] r.send(ary, move: true) p Ractor::MovedObject === ary # => true ary.inspect # Ractor::MovedError (can not send any methods to a moved object)
An error class raised when missing nodes are found while computing a constant path’s full name. For example:
-> raises because the constant path is missing the last part
An OpenSSL::OCSP::SingleResponse
represents an OCSP
SingleResponse
structure, which contains the basic information of the status of the certificate.
Indicates that the DNS
request was unable to be encoded.
An absolutely silent IO
.
Continuation
objects are generated by Kernel#callcc
, after having +require+d continuation. They hold a return address and execution context, allowing a nonlocal return to the end of the callcc
block from anywhere within a program. Continuations are somewhat analogous to a structured version of C’s setjmp/longjmp
(although they contain more state, so you might consider them closer to threads).
For instance:
require "continuation" arr = [ "Freddie", "Herbie", "Ron", "Max", "Ringo" ] callcc{|cc| $cc = cc} puts(message = arr.shift) $cc.call unless message =~ /Max/
produces:
Freddie Herbie Ron Max
Also you can call callcc in other methods:
require "continuation" def g arr = [ "Freddie", "Herbie", "Ron", "Max", "Ringo" ] cc = callcc { |cc| cc } puts arr.shift return cc, arr.size end def f c, size = g c.call(c) if size > 1 end f
This (somewhat contrived) example allows the inner loop to abandon processing early:
require "continuation" callcc {|cont| for i in 0..4 print "#{i}: " for j in i*5...(i+1)*5 cont.call() if j == 17 printf "%3d", j end end } puts
produces:
0: 0 1 2 3 4 1: 5 6 7 8 9 2: 10 11 12 13 14 3: 15 16
Raised to stop the iteration, in particular by Enumerator#next
. It is rescued by Kernel#loop
.
loop do puts "Hello" raise StopIteration puts "World" end puts "Done!"
produces:
Hello Done!
Class Exception
and its subclasses are used to indicate that an error or other problem has occurred, and may need to be handled. See Exceptions.
An Exception
object carries certain information:
The type (the exception’s class), commonly StandardError
, RuntimeError
, or a subclass of one or the other; see Built-In Exception Class Hierarchy.
An optional descriptive message; see methods ::new
, message
.
Optional backtrace information; see methods backtrace
, backtrace_locations
, set_backtrace
.
An optional cause; see method cause
.
The hierarchy of built-in subclasses of class Exception
:
Errno
(and its subclasses, representing system errors)
A rational number can be represented as a pair of integer numbers: a/b (b>0), where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. Integer
a equals rational a/1 mathematically.
You can create a Rational object explicitly with:
A rational literal.
You can convert certain objects to Rationals with:
Method Rational
.
Examples
Rational(1) #=> (1/1) Rational(2, 3) #=> (2/3) Rational(4, -6) #=> (-2/3) # Reduced. 3.to_r #=> (3/1) 2/3r #=> (2/3)
You can also create rational objects from floating-point numbers or strings.
Rational(0.3) #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984) Rational('0.3') #=> (3/10) Rational('2/3') #=> (2/3) 0.3.to_r #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984) '0.3'.to_r #=> (3/10) '2/3'.to_r #=> (2/3) 0.3.rationalize #=> (3/10)
A rational object is an exact number, which helps you to write programs without any rounding errors.
10.times.inject(0) {|t| t + 0.1 } #=> 0.9999999999999999 10.times.inject(0) {|t| t + Rational('0.1') } #=> (1/1)
However, when an expression includes an inexact component (numerical value or operation), it will produce an inexact result.
Rational(10) / 3 #=> (10/3) Rational(10) / 3.0 #=> 3.3333333333333335 Rational(-8) ** Rational(1, 3) #=> (1.0000000000000002+1.7320508075688772i)
OptionParser
OptionParser
? See the Tutorial.
OptionParser
is a class for command-line option analysis. It is much more advanced, yet also easier to use, than GetoptLong, and is a more Ruby-oriented solution.
The argument specification and the code to handle it are written in the same place.
It can output an option summary; you don’t need to maintain this string separately.
Optional and mandatory arguments are specified very gracefully.
Arguments can be automatically converted to a specified class.
Arguments can be restricted to a certain set.
All of these features are demonstrated in the examples below. See make_switch
for full documentation.
require 'optparse' options = {} OptionParser.new do |parser| parser.banner = "Usage: example.rb [options]" parser.on("-v", "--[no-]verbose", "Run verbosely") do |v| options[:verbose] = v end end.parse! p options p ARGV
OptionParser
can be used to automatically generate help for the commands you write:
require 'optparse' Options = Struct.new(:name) class Parser def self.parse(options) args = Options.new("world") opt_parser = OptionParser.new do |parser| parser.banner = "Usage: example.rb [options]" parser.on("-nNAME", "--name=NAME", "Name to say hello to") do |n| args.name = n end parser.on("-h", "--help", "Prints this help") do puts parser exit end end opt_parser.parse!(options) return args end end options = Parser.parse %w[--help] #=> # Usage: example.rb [options] # -n, --name=NAME Name to say hello to # -h, --help Prints this help
For options that require an argument, option specification strings may include an option name in all caps. If an option is used without the required argument, an exception will be raised.
require 'optparse' options = {} OptionParser.new do |parser| parser.on("-r", "--require LIBRARY", "Require the LIBRARY before executing your script") do |lib| puts "You required #{lib}!" end end.parse!
Used:
$ ruby optparse-test.rb -r optparse-test.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -r (OptionParser::MissingArgument) $ ruby optparse-test.rb -r my-library You required my-library!
OptionParser
supports the ability to coerce command line arguments into objects for us.
OptionParser
comes with a few ready-to-use kinds of type coercion. They are:
Date
– Anything accepted by Date.parse
(need to require optparse/date
)
DateTime
– Anything accepted by DateTime.parse
(need to require optparse/date
)
Time
– Anything accepted by Time.httpdate
or Time.parse
(need to require optparse/time
)
URI
– Anything accepted by URI.parse
(need to require optparse/uri
)
Shellwords
– Anything accepted by Shellwords.shellwords
(need to require optparse/shellwords
)
String
– Any non-empty string
Integer
– Any integer. Will convert octal. (e.g. 124, -3, 040)
Float
– Any float. (e.g. 10, 3.14, -100E+13)
Numeric
– Any integer, float, or rational (1, 3.4, 1/3)
DecimalInteger
– Like Integer
, but no octal format.
OctalInteger
– Like Integer
, but no decimal format.
DecimalNumeric
– Decimal integer or float.
TrueClass
– Accepts ‘+, yes, true, -, no, false’ and defaults as true
FalseClass
– Same as TrueClass
, but defaults to false
Array
– Strings separated by ‘,’ (e.g. 1,2,3)
Regexp
– Regular expressions. Also includes options.
We can also add our own coercions, which we will cover below.
As an example, the built-in Time
conversion is used. The other built-in conversions behave in the same way. OptionParser
will attempt to parse the argument as a Time
. If it succeeds, that time will be passed to the handler block. Otherwise, an exception will be raised.
require 'optparse' require 'optparse/time' OptionParser.new do |parser| parser.on("-t", "--time [TIME]", Time, "Begin execution at given time") do |time| p time end end.parse!
Used:
$ ruby optparse-test.rb -t nonsense ... invalid argument: -t nonsense (OptionParser::InvalidArgument) $ ruby optparse-test.rb -t 10-11-12 2010-11-12 00:00:00 -0500 $ ruby optparse-test.rb -t 9:30 2014-08-13 09:30:00 -0400
The accept
method on OptionParser
may be used to create converters. It specifies which conversion block to call whenever a class is specified. The example below uses it to fetch a User
object before the on
handler receives it.
require 'optparse' User = Struct.new(:id, :name) def find_user id not_found = ->{ raise "No User Found for id #{id}" } [ User.new(1, "Sam"), User.new(2, "Gandalf") ].find(not_found) do |u| u.id == id end end op = OptionParser.new op.accept(User) do |user_id| find_user user_id.to_i end op.on("--user ID", User) do |user| puts user end op.parse!
Used:
$ ruby optparse-test.rb --user 1 #<struct User id=1, name="Sam"> $ ruby optparse-test.rb --user 2 #<struct User id=2, name="Gandalf"> $ ruby optparse-test.rb --user 3 optparse-test.rb:15:in `block in find_user': No User Found for id 3 (RuntimeError)
Hash
The into
option of order
, parse
and so on methods stores command line options into a Hash
.
require 'optparse' options = {} OptionParser.new do |parser| parser.on('-a') parser.on('-b NUM', Integer) parser.on('-v', '--verbose') end.parse!(into: options) p options
Used:
$ ruby optparse-test.rb -a {:a=>true} $ ruby optparse-test.rb -a -v {:a=>true, :verbose=>true} $ ruby optparse-test.rb -a -b 100 {:a=>true, :b=>100}
The following example is a complete Ruby program. You can run it and see the effect of specifying various options. This is probably the best way to learn the features of optparse
.
require 'optparse' require 'optparse/time' require 'ostruct' require 'pp' class OptparseExample Version = '1.0.0' CODES = %w[iso-2022-jp shift_jis euc-jp utf8 binary] CODE_ALIASES = { "jis" => "iso-2022-jp", "sjis" => "shift_jis" } class ScriptOptions attr_accessor :library, :inplace, :encoding, :transfer_type, :verbose, :extension, :delay, :time, :record_separator, :list def initialize self.library = [] self.inplace = false self.encoding = "utf8" self.transfer_type = :auto self.verbose = false end def define_options(parser) parser.banner = "Usage: example.rb [options]" parser.separator "" parser.separator "Specific options:" # add additional options perform_inplace_option(parser) delay_execution_option(parser) execute_at_time_option(parser) specify_record_separator_option(parser) list_example_option(parser) specify_encoding_option(parser) optional_option_argument_with_keyword_completion_option(parser) boolean_verbose_option(parser) parser.separator "" parser.separator "Common options:" # No argument, shows at tail.

Completion
For modern shells (e.g. bash, zsh, etc.), you can use shell completion for command line options.
The above examples, along with the accompanying Tutorial, should be enough to learn how to use this class. If you have any questions, file a ticket at bugs.ruby-lang.org.
A generic error class raised when an invalid operation is attempted. Kernel#raise
will raise a RuntimeError
if no Exception
class is specified.
raise "ouch"
raises the exception:
RuntimeError: ouch
Raised when throw
is called with a tag which does not have corresponding catch
block.
throw "foo", "bar"
raises the exception:
UncaughtThrowError: uncaught throw "foo"
