Overview

The InstructionSequence class represents a compiled sequence of instructions for the Virtual Machine used in MRI. Not all implementations of Ruby may implement this class, and for the implementations that implement it, the methods defined and behavior of the methods can change in any version.

With it, you can get a handle to the instructions that make up a method or a proc, compile strings of Ruby code down to VM instructions, and disassemble instruction sequences to strings for easy inspection. It is mostly useful if you want to learn how YARV works, but it also lets you control various settings for the Ruby iseq compiler.

You can find the source for the VM instructions in insns.def in the Ruby source.

The instruction sequence results will almost certainly change as Ruby changes, so example output in this documentation may be different from what you see.

Of course, this class is MRI specific.

Class Method Details

.compile(source[, file[, path[, line[, options]]]]) ⇒ Object .new(source[, file[, path[, line[, options]]]]) ⇒ Object

Takes source, which can be a string of Ruby code, or an open File object. that contains Ruby source code.

Optionally takes file, path, and line which describe the file path, real path and first line number of the ruby code in source which are metadata attached to the returned iseq.

file is used for ‘__FILE__` and exception backtrace. path is used for require_relative base. It is recommended these should be the same full path.

options, which can be true, false or a Hash, is used to modify the default behavior of the Ruby iseq compiler.

For details regarding valid compile options see ::compile_option=.

RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile("a = 1 + 2")
#=> <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:<compiled>@<compiled>>

path = "test.rb"
RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile(File.read(path), path, File.expand_path(path))

.compile_file(file[, options]) ⇒ Object

Takes file, a String with the location of a Ruby source file, reads, parses and compiles the file, and returns iseq, the compiled InstructionSequence with source location metadata set.

Optionally takes options, which can be true, false or a Hash, to modify the default behavior of the Ruby iseq compiler.

}

.compile_option=(options) ⇒ Object

Sets the default values for various optimizations in the Ruby iseq compiler.

Possible values for options include true, which enables all options, false which disables all options, and nil which leaves all options unchanged.

You can also pass a Hash of options that you want to change, any options not present in the hash will be left unchanged.

Possible option names (which are keys in options) which can be set to true or false include:

  • :inline_const_cache

  • :instructions_unification

  • :operands_unification

  • :peephole_optimization

  • :specialized_instruction

  • :tailcall_optimization

Additionally, :debug_level can be set to an integer.

These default options can be overwritten for a single run of the iseq compiler by passing any of the above values as the options parameter to ::new, ::compile and ::compile_file.

Load an iseq object from binary format String object created by RubyVM::InstructionSequence.to_binary.

This loader does not have a verifier, so that loading broken/modified binary causes critical problem.

You should not load binary data provided by others. You should use binary data translated by yourself.

.compile(source[, file[, path[, line[, options]]]]) ⇒ Object .new(source[, file[, path[, line[, options]]]]) ⇒ Object

Takes source, which can be a string of Ruby code, or an open File object. that contains Ruby source code.

Optionally takes file, path, and line which describe the file path, real path and first line number of the ruby code in source which are metadata attached to the returned iseq.

file is used for ‘__FILE__` and exception backtrace. path is used for require_relative base. It is recommended these should be the same full path.

options, which can be true, false or a Hash, is used to modify the default behavior of the Ruby iseq compiler.

.of(body) ⇒ Object

Returns the instruction sequence containing the given proc or method.

For example, using irb:

# a proc > p = proc { num = 1 + 2 } > RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of(p) > #=> <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:block in irb_binding@(irb)>

# for a method > def foo(bar); puts bar; end > RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of(method(:foo)) > #=> <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:foo@(irb)>

Using ::compile_file:

# /tmp/iseq_of.rb def hello

puts "hello, world"

end

$a_global_proc = proc { str = ‘a’ + ‘b’ }

# in irb > require ‘/tmp/iseq_of.rb’

Instance Method Details

#absolute_pathObject

Returns the absolute path of this instruction sequence.

nil if the iseq was evaluated from a string.

For example, using ::compile_file:

# /tmp/method.rb def hello

puts "hello, world"

end

# in irb > iseq = RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile_file(‘/tmp/method.rb’) > iseq.absolute_path #=> /tmp/method.rb

}

#base_labelObject

Returns the base label of this instruction sequence.

#script_linesArray?

It returns recorded script lines if it is available. The script lines are not limited to the iseq range, but are entire lines of the source file.

Note that this is an API for ruby internal use, debugging, and research. Do not use this for any other purpose. The compatibility is not guaranteed.

#to_aArray

Returns an Array with 14 elements representing the instruction sequence with the following data:

magic

A string identifying the data format. Always YARVInstructionSequence/SimpleDataFormat.

major_version

The major version of the instruction sequence.

minor_version

The minor version of the instruction sequence.

format_type

A number identifying the data format. Always 1.

misc

A hash containing:

:arg_size

the total number of arguments taken by the method or the block (0 if iseq doesn’t represent a method or block)

[+:local_size+]

the number of local variables + 1

[+:stack_max+]

used in calculating the stack depth at which a SystemStackError is thrown.

#label

The name of the context (block, method, class, module, etc.) that this instruction sequence belongs to.

<main> if it’s at the top level, <compiled> if it was evaluated from a string.

#path

The relative path to the Ruby file where the instruction sequence was loaded from.

<compiled> if the iseq was evaluated from a string.

#absolute_path

The absolute path to the Ruby file where the instruction sequence was loaded from.

nil if the iseq was evaluated from a string.

#first_lineno

The number of the first source line where the instruction sequence was loaded from.

type

The type of the instruction sequence.

Valid values are :top, :method, :block, :class, :rescue, :ensure, :eval, :main, and plain.

locals

An array containing the names of all arguments and local variables as symbols.

params

An Hash object containing parameter information.

More info about these values can be found in vm_core.h.

catch_table

A list of exceptions and control flow operators (rescue, next, redo, break, etc.).

bytecode

An array of arrays containing the instruction names and operands that make up the body of the instruction sequence.

Note that this format is MRI specific and version dependent.

}

#to_binary(extra_data = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns serialized iseq binary format data as a String object. A corresponding iseq object is created by RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary() method.

String extra_data will be saved with binary data. You can access this data with RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary_extra_data(binary).

Note that the translated binary data is not portable. You can not move this binary data to another machine. You can not use the binary data which is created by another version/another architecture of Ruby.
