}

Get and set global variables on an interpreter.

Global variables can be an arbitrary Ruby value. Variable names must start with $.

Required Associated Types

type Value: Value

Concrete value type for global variables.

type Error

Concrete error type for failures manipulating global variables.

Required Methods

fn set_global_variable<T>( &mut self, name: T, value: &Self::Value ) -> Result<(), Self::Error>where T: Into<Cow<'static, [u8]>>,

Set global variable pointed to by name to the given Ruby value.

Errors

If the name is not a valid global name, an error is returned.

If there is insufficient capacity in the global storage, an error is returned.

fn unset_global_variable<T>(&mut self, name: T) -> Result<(), Self::Error>where T: Into<Cow<'static, [u8]>>,

Unset global variable pointed to by name.

Unsetting a global variable removes the name from the global storage table. Unset globals resolve to nil in the Ruby VM.

Unsetting a global that is currently unset is a no-op.

Errors

If the name is not a valid global name, an error is returned.

fn get_global_variable<T>( &mut self, name: T ) -> Result<Option<Self::Value>, Self::Error>where T: Into<Cow<'static, [u8]>>,

Get the Ruby value stored in the global variable pointed to by name.

Compatibility Notes

Getting a global that is currently may return Ok(None) even through a non-existent global resolves to nil in the Ruby VM. Consult the documentation on implementations of this trait for implementation-defined behavior.

Errors

If the name is not a valid global name, an error is returned.
