Constructor Details

ClassVariable

private ClassVariable(RubyObject receiver,
 String name,
 Object... javaObjects)

Constructor when the variable is originated from Java

Parameters:

receiver -

name -

javaObject -

ClassVariable

ClassVariable(RubyObject receiver,
 String name,
 IRubyObject irubyObject)

A constructor used when this variable is 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 class variable name

irubyObject - Ruby class variable object

Method Details

getInstance

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

Returns an instance of this class. This factory method is used when a class variables is put in BiVariableMap. This variable is originated from Java.

Parameters:

runtime -

name - a variable name

javaObject - Java object that should be assigned to.

Returns:

the instance of ClassVariable

retrieve

public static void retrieve(RubyObject receiver,
 BiVariableMap vars)

Retrieves class variables from Ruby after the evaluation.

Parameters:

runtime - Ruby runtime

receiver - receiver object returned when a script is evaluated.

vars - map to save retrieved class variables.

updateClassVar

private static void updateClassVar(RubyObject receiver,
 BiVariableMap vars)

retrieveByKey

public static void retrieveByKey(RubyObject receiver,
 BiVariableMap vars,
 String name)

Retrieves a class 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.

name - instace varible name

getType

public BiVariable.Type getType()

Returns enum type of this variable defined in BiVariable.

Returns:

this enum type, BiVariable.Type.ClassVariable.

isValidName

public static boolean isValidName(Object name)

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

Parameters:

name - is a name to be checked.

Returns:

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

inject

public void inject()

Injects a class 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.
