inspect

@Deprecated
public IRubyObject inspect()

public IRubyObject to_s()

Description copied from class: RubyBasicObject

rb_any_to_s call-seq: obj.to_s => string Returns a string representing obj. The default to_s prints the object's class and an encoding of the object id. As a special case, the top-level object that is the initial execution context of Ruby programs returns ``main.''

Overrides:

op_eqq in class RubyObject

hash

@Deprecated
public RubyFixnum hash()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: RubyBasicObject

rb_obj_id Will return the hash code of this object. In comparison to MRI, this method will use the Java identity hash code instead of using rb_obj_id, since the usage of id in JRuby will incur the cost of some. ObjectSpace maintenance.

Overrides:

hash

public RubyFixnum hash(ThreadContext context)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: RubyObject

Override the Object#hashCode method to make sure that the Ruby hash is actually used as the hashcode for Ruby objects. If the Ruby "hash" method doesn't return a number, the Object#hashCode implementation will be used instead.

Overrides:

hashCode in class RubyObject

getId

public int getId()

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Description copied from class: RubyObject

This method is just a wrapper around the Ruby "==" method, provided so that RubyObjects can be used as keys in the Java HashMap object underlying RubyHash.

Overrides:

equals in class RubyObject

to_sym19

public IRubyObject to_sym19()

taint

public IRubyObject taint(ThreadContext context)

Description copied from class: RubyBasicObject

Convert the object to the specified Java class, if possible.

Specified by:

Parameters:

target - The target type to which the object should be converted.

shouldMarshalEncoding in interface MarshalEncoding

getMarshalEncoding

public org.jcodings.Encoding getMarshalEncoding()

Specified by:

getMarshalEncoding in interface MarshalEncoding

objectToSymbolString

public static String objectToSymbolString(IRubyObject object)

Properly stringify an object for the current "raw bytes" representation of a symbol. Symbols are represented internally as a Java string, but decoded using raw bytes in ISO-8859-1 representation. This means they do not in their normal String form represent a readable Java string, but it does allow differently-encoded strings to map to different symbol objects. See #736

Parameters:

object - the object to symbolify

Returns:

the symbol string associated with the object's string representation
