Definition at line 1617 of file vm_backtrace.c.

◆ rb_postponed_job_preregister()

rb_postponed_job_handle_t rb_postponed_job_preregister ( unsigned int  flags,
rb_postponed_job_func_t  func,
void *  data 
)

Pre-registers a func in Ruby's postponed job preregistration table, returning an opaque handle which can be used to trigger the job later.

Generally, this function will be called during the initialization routine of an extension.

The returned handle can be used later to call rb_postponed_job_trigger. This will cause Ruby to call back into the registered func with data at a later time, in a context where the GVL is held and it is safe to perform Ruby allocations.

If the given func was already pre-registered, this function will overwrite the stored data with the newly passed data, and return the same handle instance as was previously returned.

If this function is called concurrently with the same func, then the stored data could be the value from either call (but will definitely be one of them).

If this function is called to update the data concurrently with a call to rb_postponed_job_trigger on the same handle, it's undefined whether func will be called with the old data or the new data.

Although the current implementation of this function is in fact async-signal-safe and has defined semantics when called concurrently on the same func, a future Ruby version might require that this method be called under the GVL; thus, programs which aim to be forward-compatible should call this method whilst holding the GVL.

Parameters
[in]flagsUnused and ignored
[in]funcThe function to be pre-registered
[in]dataThe data to be pre-registered
Return values
POSTPONED_JOB_HANDLE_INVALIDThe job table is full; this registration did not succeed and no further registration will do so for the lifetime of the program.
otherwiseA handle which can be passed to rb_postponed_job_trigger

Definition at line 1749 of file vm_trace.c.

◆ rb_postponed_job_register()

int rb_postponed_job_register ( unsigned int  flags,
rb_postponed_job_func_t  func,
void *  data 
)

Schedules the given func to be called with data when Ruby next checks for interrupts.

If this function is called multiple times in between Ruby checking for interrupts, then func will be called only once with the data value from the first call to this function.

Like rb_postponed_job_trigger, the context in which the job is called holds the GVL and can allocate Ruby objects.

This method essentially has the same semantics as:

void rb_postponed_job_trigger(rb_postponed_job_handle_t h)
Triggers a pre-registered job registered with rb_postponed_job_preregister, scheduling it for executi...
Definition: vm_trace.c:1783
rb_postponed_job_handle_t rb_postponed_job_preregister(unsigned int flags, rb_postponed_job_func_t func, void *data)
Pre-registers a func in Ruby's postponed job preregistration table, returning an opaque handle which ...
Definition: vm_trace.c:1749
Note
Previous versions of Ruby promised that the (func, data) pairs would be executed as many times as they were registered with this function; in reality this was always subject to race conditions and this function no longer provides this guarantee. Instead, multiple calls to this function can be coalesced into a single execution of the passed func, with the most recent data registered at that time passed in.
Deprecated:
This interface implies that arbitrarily many func's can be enqueued over the lifetime of the program, whilst in reality the registration slots for postponed jobs are a finite resource. This is made clearer by the rb_postponed_job_preregister and rb_postponed_job_trigger functions, and a future version of Ruby might delete this function.
Parameters
[in]flagsUnused and ignored.
[in]funcJob body.
[in,out]dataPassed as-is to func.
Return values
0Postponed job registration table is full. Failed.
1Registration succeeded.
Postcondition
The passed job will run on the next interrupt check.

Definition at line 1807 of file vm_trace.c.

◆ rb_postponed_job_register_one()

int rb_postponed_job_register_one ( unsigned int  flags,
rb_postponed_job_func_t  func,
void *  data 
)

Identical to rb_postponed_job_register

Deprecated:
This is deprecated for the same reason as rb_postponed_job_register
Parameters
[in]flagsUnused and ignored.
[in]funcJob body.
[in,out]dataPassed as-is to func.
Return values
0Postponed job registration table is full. Failed.
1Registration succeeded.
Postcondition
The passed job will run on the next interrupt check.

Definition at line 1813 of file vm_trace.c.

◆ rb_postponed_job_trigger()

void rb_postponed_job_trigger ( rb_postponed_job_handle_t  h)

Triggers a pre-registered job registered with rb_postponed_job_preregister, scheduling it for execution the next time the Ruby VM checks for interrupts.

The context in which the job is called in holds the GVL and is safe to perform Ruby allocations within (i.e. it is not during GC).

This method is async-signal-safe and can be called from any thread, at any time, including in signal handlers.

If this method is called multiple times, Ruby will coalesce this into only one call to the job the next time it checks for interrupts.

@params[in] h A handle returned from rb_postponed_job_preregister

Definition at line 1783 of file vm_trace.c.

◆ rb_profile_frame_absolute_path()

VALUE rb_profile_frame_absolute_path ( VALUE  frame)

Identical to rb_profile_frame_path(), except it tries to expand the returning path.

In case the path is require-d from something else rb_profile_frame_path() can return relative paths. This one tries to avoid that.

Return values
<cfunc>The frame is in C.
RUBY_QnilCan't infer real path (inside of eval etc.).
otherwiseWhere frame is running.

◆ rb_profile_frame_base_label()

VALUE rb_profile_frame_base_label ( VALUE  frame)

Identical to rb_profile_frame_label(), except it does not "qualify" the result.

Consider the following backtrace:

def bar
caller_locations
end
def foo
[1].map { bar }.first
end
obj = foo.first
obj.label # => "block in foo"
obj.base_label # => "foo"
Parameters

Return values

◆ rb_thread_remove_event_hook_with_data()

int rb_thread_remove_event_hook_with_data ( VALUE  thval,
rb_event_hook_func_t  func,
VALUE  data 
)

Identical to rb_thread_remove_event_hook(), except it additionally takes the data argument.

It can also be seen as a routine identical to rb_remove_event_hook_with_data(), except it additionally takes the thread. This function deletes hooks that satisfy all three criteria.

Parameters
[in]thvalAn instance of rb_cThread.
[in]funcA callback.
[in]dataWhat to be passed to func.
Exceptions
rb_eTypeErrorthval is not a thread.
Returns
Number of deleted event hooks.
Note
As multiple events can share the same func it is quite possible for the return value to become more than one.

◆ rb_tracepoint_new()

VALUE rb_tracepoint_new ( VALUE  target_thread_not_supported_yet,
rb_event_flag_t  events,
void(*)(VALUE, void *)  func,
void *  data 
)

Creates a tracepoint by registering a callback function for one or more tracepoint events.

Once the tracepoint is created, you can use rb_tracepoint_enable to enable the tracepoint.

Parameters
[in]target_thread_not_supported_yetMeant for picking the thread in which the tracepoint is to be created. However, current implementation ignore this parameter, tracepoint is created for all threads. Simply specify Qnil.
[in]eventsEvent(s) to listen to.
[in]funcA callback function.
[in,out]dataVoid pointer that will be passed to the callback function.

When the callback function is called, it will be passed 2 parameters:

  1. VALUE tpval - the TracePoint object from which trace args can be extracted.
  1. void *data - A void pointer which helps to share scope with the callback function.

It is important to note that you cannot register callbacks for normal events and internal events simultaneously because they are different purpose. You can use any Ruby APIs (calling methods and so on) on normal event hooks. However, in internal events, you can not use any Ruby APIs (even object creations). This is why we can't specify internal events by TracePoint directly. Limitations are MRI version specific.

Example:

obj_event_i,
data);
VALUE rb_tracepoint_new(VALUE target_thread_not_supported_yet, rb_event_flag_t events, void(*func)(VALUE, void *), void *data)
Creates a tracepoint by registering a callback function for one or more tracepoint events.
Definition: vm_trace.c:1473
#define RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_FREEOBJ
Object swept.
Definition: event.h:94
#define RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_NEWOBJ
Object allocated.
Definition: event.h:93
#define Qnil
Old name of RUBY_Qnil.

In this example, a callback function obj_event_i will be registered for internal events RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_NEWOBJ and RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_FREEOBJ.
