Public Class Methods

bottom(n = 0) click to toggle source

Convenience method for Frame#bottom

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 62
def Frame.bottom(n = 0)
  @backtrace.bottom(n)
end
            
new() click to toggle source

Creates a new stack frame

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 27
def initialize
  @frames = [TOPLEVEL_BINDING] * INIT_STACK_TIMES
end
            
sender() click to toggle source

Returns the binding context of the caller from the last frame initialized

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 72
def Frame.sender
  eval "self", @backtrace.top
end

Convenience method for Frame#top

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 67
def Frame.top(n = 0)
  @backtrace.top(n)

Public Instance Methods

bottom(n = 0) click to toggle source

Returns the n number of frames on the call stack from the first frame initialized.

Raises FrameOverflow if there are no frames in the given stack range.

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 55
def bottom(n = 0)
  bind = @frames[n]
  Fail FrameOverflow unless bind
  bind
end
            
top(n = 0) click to toggle source

Returns the n number of frames on the call stack from the last frame initialized.

Raises FrameUnderflow if there are no frames in the given stack range.

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 45
def top(n = 0)
  bind = @frames[-(n + CALL_STACK_OFFSET)]
  Fail FrameUnderflow unless bind
  bind
end
            
trace_func(event, file, line, id, binding) click to toggle source

Used by Kernel#set_trace_func to register each event in the call stack

 
               # File irb/frame.rb, line 32
def trace_func(event, file, line, id, binding)
  case event
  when 'call', 'class'
    @frames.push binding
  when 'return', 'end'
    @frames.pop
  end
