How is ! magic ! formed

WHY?
TIL: There’s bacon in! the Ruby source code
What happens when Ruby runs my code?! ! What is
an Object?
What happens ! when Ruby ! runs my code?
Ruby code 9.times do puts "Ente" end
Tokens 9 . t i m e s …
9 . times do puts "" Tokens 9 . t
i m e s … integer identifier identifier period keyword strin
Syntax Tree do_block period method_add_block integer! 9 identifier! times call
command identifier! puts …
YARV instructions “Yet Another Ruby Virtual Machine” == catch table

I MIGHT! HAVE MADE THIS ALL UP
Tokenizing Ripper.lex(your_code)
parse.c

with Ripper: Ripper.sexp(your_code) parser debug information: ruby -y example.rb Parsing
RubyVM::InstructionSequence. compile(code).disasm Compiling
What ! is an! Object?
struct meetup { char title[120]; time_t starts_at; bool has_talks; };
Structs
union location { char address[120]; struct position { int latitude;
int longitude; } }; Union
struct meetup { char title[120]; time_t starts_at; bool has_talks; union
{ char address[120]; struct position { int latitude; int longitude; } } };
Let’s look at some source code
RObject struct RObject { struct RBasic basic; … };
RBasic struct RBasic { VALUE flags; const VALUE klass; };
RObject struct RObject { struct RBasic basic; struct { long
numiv; VALUE *ivptr; struct st_table *iv_index_tbl; } heap; }; simplified
RObject struct RObject { struct RBasic basic; union { struct
{ long numiv; VALUE *ivptr; struct st_table *iv_index_tbl; } heap; VALUE ary[ROBJECT_EMBED_LEN_MAX]; } as; };
RFloat struct RFloat { struct RBasic basic; double float_value; };
- Reading C is not that bad.* *(If you
hate it, you can still look at the Standard Library or Rubinius.)! ! - Check out the Ruby source code and give a talk about it. ;) Things to take home
WAIT! Where’s the bacon?
