Class: ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper

Relationships & Source Files
Inherits:	Object
Defined in:	ext/objspace/objspace.c

Overview

InternalObjectWrapper wraps objects that are internal to the CRuby implementation and usually not directly visible in Ruby code.

reachable_objects_from and reachable_objects_from_root return instances of this class when a reachable object is an internal object. Some other ::ObjectSpace methods, such as internal_super_of, may also return wrapped internal objects.

An InternalObjectWrapper is a debugging and introspection object. Do not use it in application code. The wrapped object and the exact details of this class are implementation specific and may change in future versions.
