Why learn Ruby internals?

Blocks: Closures in Ruby Closures and Metaprogramming
rb_block_t ??
Calling a block
10.times do str = "The quick brown fox..." puts str
end
rb_block_t iseq putstring "The quick brown fox… " setdynamic str,
0 putself getdynamic str, 0 send :puts, 1 leave
Referencing variables from the parent scope

"jumps over the lazy dog." puts "#{str} #{str2}" end

Blocks: Closures in Ruby Closures and Metaprogramming
Using a closure to define a method
class Quote def initialize @str = "The quick brown fox..."
end def display_message puts @str end end

end define_method :display_message do puts @str end end

end end str2 = "jumps over the lazy dog." Quote.send(:define_method, :display_message) do puts "#{@str} #{str2}" end
eval and binding
str = "puts" str += " 2" str += "
+" str += " 2" eval(str) => 4
class Quote def initialize @str = "The quick brown fox..."
end def get_binding binding end end
obj = Quote.new
rb_control_frame_t LFP self RObject ivptr klass @str etc...
obj = Quote.new eval('puts @str', obj.get_binding)
rb_control_frame_t LFP self rb_binding_t filename line_no env rb_env_t rb_block_t iseq
DFP env self Stack Heap RObject ivptr klass @str etc...
putstring "The quick brown fox… " setdynamic str, 0 putself
getdynamic str, 0 send :puts, 1 leave YARV internal stack locals: str RObject ivptr klass rb_block_t DFP self iseq
instance_eval
class Quote def initialize @str = "The quick brown fox"
end end
str2 = "jumps over the lazy dog." obj = Quote.new
obj.instance_eval do puts "#{@str} #{str2}" end
instance_eval and singleton classes
class Quote def initialize @str = "The quick brown fox..."
end end
obj = Quote.new obj.instance_eval do def display_message puts @str end
end
obj.display_message The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
