BasicSpecification is an abstract class which implements some common code used by both Specification and StubSpecification.
True when the gem has been activated

  @full_gem_path ||= find_full_gem_path
end
             
            Returns the full name (name-version) of this Gem. Platform information is included (name-version-platform) if it is specified and not the default Ruby platform.

            Paths in the gem to add to $LOAD_PATH when this gem is activated.

If you have an extension you do not need to add "ext" to the require path, the extension build process will copy the extension files into “lib” for you.
The default value is "lib"
Usage:
# If all library files are in the root directory... spec.require_path = '.'
 
               # File rubygems/basic_specification.rb, line 239
def require_paths
  return raw_require_paths unless have_extensions?
  [extension_dir].concat raw_require_paths
end
             
            Returns the paths to the source files for use with analysis and documentation tools. These paths are relative to full_gem_path.
 
               # File rubygems/basic_specification.rb, line 249
def source_paths
  paths = raw_require_paths.dup
  if have_extensions? then
    ext_dirs = extensions.map do |extension|
      extension.split(File::SEPARATOR, 2).first
    end.uniq
    paths.concat ext_dirs
  end
  paths.uniq
end
             
            Whether this specification is stubbed - i.e. we have information about the gem from a stub line, without having to evaluate the entire gemspec file.

def stubbed?
  raise NotImplementedError
end
             
            Full path of the target library file. If the file is not in this gem, return nil.
