Constructor Detail

InstanceVariable

private InstanceVariable(RubyObject receiver,
                         java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.Object... javaObjects)

InstanceVariable

public InstanceVariable(IRubyObject receiver,
                        java.lang.String name,
                        IRubyObject irubyObject)

A constructor used when instance variables are retrieved from Ruby.

Parameters:

receiver - a receiver object that this variable/constant is originally in. When the variable/constant is originated from Ruby, receiver may not be null.

name - the instance variable name

irubyObject - Ruby instance object

InstanceVariable

InstanceVariable(RubyObject receiver,
                 java.lang.String name,
                 IRubyObject irubyObject)

Method Detail

getInstance

public static BiVariable getInstance(RubyObject receiver,
                                     java.lang.String name,
                                     java.lang.Object... javaObject)

Returns an instance of this class. This factory method is used when an instance variable is put in BiVariableMap.

Parameters:

runtime - Ruby runtime

name - a variable name

javaObject - Java object that should be assigned to.

Returns:

the instance of InstanceVariable

retrieve

public static void retrieve(RubyObject receiver,
                            BiVariableMap vars)

Retrieves instance variables from Ruby after the evaluation.

Parameters:

runtime - Ruby runtime

receiver - receiver object returned when a script is evaluated.

vars - map to save retrieved instance variables.

updateInstanceVar

static void updateInstanceVar(RubyObject receiver,
                              BiVariableMap vars)

retrieveByKey

public static void retrieveByKey(RubyObject receiver,
                                 BiVariableMap vars,
                                 java.lang.String key)

Retrieves a instance variable by key from Ruby runtime after the evaluation. This method is used when eager retrieval is off.

Parameters:

receiver - receiver object returned when a script is evaluated.

vars - map to save retrieved instance variables.

key - instace varible name

getType

public BiVariable.Type getType()

Returns enum type of this variable defined in BiVariable.

Returns:

this enum type, BiVariable.Type.InstanceVariable.

isValidName

public static boolean isValidName(java.lang.Object name)

Returns true if the given name is a decent Ruby instance variable. Unless returns false.

Parameters:

name - is a name to be checked.

Returns:

true if the given name is of a Ruby instance variable.

inject

public void inject()

Injects an instance variable value to a parsed Ruby script. This method is invoked during EvalUnit#run() is executed.

Parameters:

runtime - is environment where a variable injection occurs

receiver - is the instance that will have variable injection.

remove

public void remove()

Attempts to remove this variable from top self or receiver.
