class RubyVM
The RubyVM
module only exists on MRI. RubyVM
is not defined in other Ruby implementations such as JRuby and TruffleRuby.
The RubyVM
module provides some access to MRI internals. This module is for very limited purposes, such as debugging, prototyping, and research. Normal users must not use it. This module is not portable between Ruby implementations.
Constants
- DEFAULT_PARAMS
DEFAULT_PARAMS
This constant exposes the VM’s default parameters. Note that changing these values does not affect VM execution. Specification is not stable and you should not depend on this value. Of course, this constant is MRI specific.- INSTRUCTION_NAMES
INSTRUCTION_NAMES
A list of bytecode instruction names in MRI. This constant is MRI specific.- OPTS
OPTS
AnArray
of VM build options. This constant is MRI specific.
Public Class Methods
Return current keep_script_lines
status. Now it only returns true
of false
, but it can return other objects in future.
Note that this is an API for ruby internal use, debugging, and research. Do not use this for any other purpose. The compatibility is not guaranteed.
static VALUE vm_keep_script_lines(VALUE self) { return RBOOL(ruby_vm_keep_script_lines); }
It set keep_script_lines
flag. If the flag is set, all loaded scripts are recorded in a interpreter process.
Note that this is an API for ruby internal use, debugging, and research. Do not use this for any other purpose. The compatibility is not guaranteed.
static VALUE vm_keep_script_lines_set(VALUE self, VALUE flags) { ruby_vm_keep_script_lines = RTEST(flags); return flags; }
Returns a Hash
containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.
This hash includes information about method/constant caches:
{ :constant_cache_invalidations=>2, :constant_cache_misses=>14, :global_cvar_state=>27 }
If USE_DEBUG_COUNTER
is enabled, debug counters will be included.
The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.
This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.
