Class TransientLocalVariable

java.lang.Object

org.jruby.embed.variable.AbstractVariable

org.jruby.embed.variable.TransientLocalVariable

All Implemented Interfaces:

BiVariable

public class TransientLocalVariable
extends AbstractVariable

An implementation of BiVariable for a transient local variable. This type of a local variable is available during only one evaluation. After the evaluation, the variable vanishes.

Constructor Detail

TransientLocalVariable

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

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 a transient local 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 TransientLocalVariable

getType

public BiVariable.Type getType()

Returns enum type of this variable defined in BiVariable.

Returns:

this enum type, BiVariable.Type.LocalVariable.

isValidName

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

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

Parameters:

name - is a name to be checked.

Returns:

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

retrieve

public static void retrieve(RubyObject receiver,
                            BiVariableMap vars)

Doesn't do anything since a transient local variable should not be retrieved from Ruby.

Parameters:

runtime - Ruby runtime

receiver - receiver object returned when a script is evaluated.

vars - map to save retrieved local variables.

inject

public void inject()

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

remove

public void remove()

Attempts to remove this variable from top self or receiver.
