debug_inspector

(C) John Mair (banisterfiend) 2012

A Ruby wrapper for the new MRI 2.0 debug_inspector API

This library only works on MRI 2.0. Requiring it on unsupported Rubies will result in a no-op

Usage

require 'debug_inspector'

# binding of nth caller frame (returns a Binding object)
RubyVM::DebugInspector.open { |i| i.frame_binding(n) }

# iseq of nth caller frame (returns a RubyVM::InstructionSequence object)
RubyVM::DebugInspector.open { |i| i.frame_iseq(n) }

# class of nth caller frame
RubyVM::DebugInspector.open { |i| i.frame_class(n) }

# backtrace locations (returns an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location objects)
RubyVM::DebugInspector.open { |i| i.backtrace_locations }
