Defined in:

Overview

A class that provides the functionality of Kernel#set_trace_func in a nice Object-Oriented API.

Example

We can use TracePoint to gather information specifically for exceptions:

trace = TracePoint.new(:raise) do |tp|

p [tp.lineno, tp.event, tp.raised_exception]

end
#=> #<TracePoint:disabled>

trace.enable
#=> false

0 / 0
#=> [5, :raise, #<ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0>]

Events

If you don’t specify the type of events you want to listen for, TracePoint will include all available events.

Note do not depend on current event set, as this list is subject to change. Instead, it is recommended you specify the type of events you want to use.

To filter what is traced, you can pass any of the following as events:

:line

execute code on a new line

:class

start a class or module definition

:end

finish a class or module definition

:call

call a Ruby method

:return

return from a Ruby method

:c_call

call a C-language routine

:c_return

return from a C-language routine

:raise

raise an exception

:b_call

event hook at block entry

:b_return

event hook at block ending

:thread_begin

event hook at thread beginning

:thread_end

event hook at thread ending

Class Method Details

.new ⇒ Object

TracePoint.new(*events) { |obj| block } -> obj

Returns a new TracePoint object, not enabled by default.

Next, in order to activate the trace, you must use TracePoint.enable

trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp|

p [tp.lineno, tp.defined_class, tp.method_id, tp.event]

end #=> #<TracePoint:disabled>

trace.enable #=> false

puts “Hello, TracePoint!” # … # [48, IRB::Notifier::AbstractNotifier, :printf, :call] # …

When you want to deactivate the trace, you must use TracePoint.disable

trace.disable

See TracePoint@Events for possible events and more information.

A block must be given, otherwise a ThreadError is raised.

If the trace method isn’t included in the given events filter, a RuntimeError is raised.

TracePoint.trace(:line) do |tp|

p tp.raised_exception

end #=> RuntimeError: ‘raised_exception’ not supported by this event

If the trace method is called outside block, a RuntimeError is raised.

TracePoint.trace(:line) do |tp|
  $tp = tp
end
$tp.line #=> access from outside (RuntimeError)

Access from other threads is also forbidden.

.trace ⇒ Object

call-seq: TracePoint.trace(*events) { |obj| block } -> obj

A convenience method for TracePoint.new, that activates the trace
automatically.

   trace = TracePoint.trace(:call) { |tp| [tp.lineno, tp.event] }
   #=> #<TracePoint:enabled>

   trace.enabled? #=> true

#binding ⇒ Object

tracepoint_attr_binding(VALUE tpval)
{

}

#defined_class ⇒ Object

Return class or module of the method being called.

class C; def foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> C end.enable do C.new.foo end

If method is defined by a module, then that module is returned.

module M; def foo; end; end class C; include M; end; trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> M end.enable do C.new.foo end

Note: #defined_class returns singleton class.

6th block parameter of Kernel#set_trace_func passes original class of attached by singleton class.

This is a difference between Kernel#set_trace_func and TracePoint.

class C; def self.foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> #<Class:C> end.enable do C.foo end

#disable ⇒ Object

trace.disable -> true or false trace.disable { block } -> obj

Deactivates the trace

Return true if trace was enabled. Return false if trace was disabled.

trace.enabled? #=> true trace.disable #=> false (previous status) trace.enabled? #=> false trace.disable #=> false

If a block is given, the trace will only be disable within the scope of the block.

trace.enabled? #=> true

trace.disable do

trace.enabled?
# only disabled for this block

end

trace.enabled? #=> true

Note: You cannot access event hooks within the block.

trace.disable { p tp.lineno } #=> RuntimeError: access from outside

#enable ⇒ Object

trace.enable -> true or false trace.enable { block } -> obj

Activates the trace

Return true if trace was enabled. Return false if trace was disabled.

trace.enabled? #=> false trace.enable #=> false (previous state)

#   trace is enabled

trace.enabled? #=> true trace.enable #=> true (previous state)

#   trace is still enabled

If a block is given, the trace will only be enabled within the scope of the block.

trace.enabled? #=> false

trace.enable do

trace.enabled?
# only enabled for this block

end

trace.enabled? #=> false

Note: You cannot access event hooks within the block.

trace.enable { p tp.lineno } #=> RuntimeError: access from outside
