A Ruby wrapper for the MRI 2.0+ debug_inspector API
The debug_inspector C extension and API were designed and built by Koichi Sasada, this project
is just a gemification of his work.
NOTES:
- Do not use this library outside of debugging situations.
- This library makes use of the debug inspector API which was new in MRI 2.0.0.
- Only works on MRI 2 and 3. Requiring it on unsupported Rubies will result in a no-op
require 'debug_inspector'
# Open debug context
# Passed `dc' is only active in a block
RubyVM::DebugInspector.open { |dc|
# backtrace locations (returns an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location objects)
locs = dc.backtrace_locations
# you can get depth of stack frame with `locs.size'
locs.size.times do |i|
# binding of i-th caller frame (returns a Binding object or nil)
p dc.frame_binding(i)
# iseq of i-th caller frame (returns a RubyVM::InstructionSequence object or nil)
p dc.frame_iseq(i)
# class of i-th caller frame
p dc.frame_class(i)
end
}After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
