Overview

The RubyVM module provides some access to Ruby internals. This module is for very limited purposes, such as debugging, prototyping, and research. Normal users must not use it.

Constant Summary

  • DEFAULT_PARAMS =

    This constant variable shows 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.

    # File 'vm.c', line 3133
    :
  • INSTRUCTION_NAMES =
    # File 'vm.c', line 3125
    :
  • OPTS =

    OPTS, which shows vm build options

SDR

This method is for internal use only.
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'vm.c', line 2848

static VALUE
sdr(void)
{
    rb_vm_bugreport(NULL);
    return Qnil;
}

.statHash .stat(hsh) ⇒ Hash .stat(Symbol) ⇒ Numeric

Returns a ::Hash containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.

This hash includes information about method/constant cache serials:

{
  :global_method_state=>251,
  :global_constant_state=>481,
  :class_serial=>9029
}

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.
