rb_control_frame_t::klass. [Bug #11278], [Bug #11279] rb_method_entry_t data belong to modules/classes. rb_method_entry_t::owner points defined module or class. module M def foo; end end In this case, owner is M. rb_callable_method_entry_t data belong to only classes. For modules, MRI creates corresponding T_ICLASS internally. rb_callable_method_entry_t can also belong to T_ICLASS. rb_callable_method_entry_t::defined_class points T_CLASS or T_ICLASS. rb_method_entry_t data for classes (not for modules) are also rb_callable_method_entry_t data because it is completely same data. In this case, rb_method_entry_t::owner == rb_method_entry_t::defined_class. For example, there are classes C and D, and incldues M, class C; include M; end class D; include M; end then, two T_ICLASS objects for C's super class and D's super class will be created. When C.new.foo is called, then M#foo is searcheed and rb_callable_method_t data is used by VM to invoke M#foo. rb_method_entry_t data is only one for M#foo. However, rb_callable_method_entry_t data are two (and can be more). It is proportional to the number of including (and prepending) classes (the number of T_ICLASS which point to the module). Now, created rb_callable_method_entry_t are collected when the original module M was modified. We can think it is a cache. We need to select what kind of method entry data is needed. To operate definition, then you need to use rb_method_entry_t. You can access them by the following functions. * rb_method_entry(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_method_entry_with_refinements(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_method_entry_without_refinements(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_resolve_refined_method(VALUE refinements, const rb_method_entry_t *me); To invoke methods, then you need to use rb_callable_method_entry_t which you can get by the following APIs corresponding to the above listed functions. * rb_callable_method_entry(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_callable_method_entry_with_refinements(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_callable_method_entry_without_refinements(VALUE klass, ID id); * rb_resolve_refined_method_callable(VALUE refinements, const rb_callable_method_entry_t *me); VM pushes rb_callable_method_entry_t, so that rb_vm_frame_method_entry() returns rb_callable_method_entry_t. You can check a super class of current method by rb_callable_method_entry_t::defined_class. * method.h: renamed from rb_method_entry_t::klass to rb_method_entry_t::owner. * internal.h: add rb_classext_struct::callable_m_tbl to cache rb_callable_method_entry_t data. We need to consider abotu this field again because it is only active for T_ICLASS. * class.c (method_entry_i): ditto. * class.c (rb_define_attr): rb_method_entry() does not takes defiend_class_ptr. * gc.c (mark_method_entry): mark RCLASS_CALLABLE_M_TBL() for T_ICLASS. * cont.c (fiber_init): rb_control_frame_t::klass is removed. * proc.c: fix `struct METHOD' data structure because rb_callable_method_t has all information. * vm_core.h: remove several fields. * rb_control_frame_t::klass. * rb_block_t::klass. And catch up changes. * eval.c: catch up changes. * gc.c: ditto. * insns.def: ditto. * vm.c: ditto. * vm_args.c: ditto. * vm_backtrace.c: ditto. * vm_dump.c: ditto. * vm_eval.c: ditto. * vm_insnhelper.c: ditto. * vm_method.c: ditto. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@51126 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
What's Ruby
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, etc.) cf. http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/wiki/SupportedPlatforms
How to get Ruby
For a complete list of ways to install Ruby, including using third-party tools like rvm, see:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
The Ruby distribution files can be found on the following FTP site:
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/
The trunk of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ ruby
Or if you are using git then use the following command:
$ git clone git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
There are some other branches under development. Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ svn ls http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/
Or if you are using git then use the following command:
$ git ls-remote git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git

How to compile and install
This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
If
./configuredoes not exist or is older than configure.in, run autoconf to (re)generate configure. -
Run
./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..andwarnflags=..as necessary to override them. -
Edit
defines.hif you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Remove comment mark(
#) before the module names fromext/Setup(or add module names if not present), if you want to link modules statically.If you don't want to compile non static extension modules (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic" inext/Setup.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make. -
Optionally, run '
make check' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded", your ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Run '
make install'This command will create following directories and install files onto them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}is 'x', the${MINOR}is 'y', and the${TEENY}is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install ruby.
If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
