1. block-ish expression?
I would like to conveniently create objects and define their methods right at the point where I want to pass them into a method call. These objects are a lot like blocks, except that I need more than one interface on them. === with a block m(a, b) { |x| ... } def m(a, b) yield end ==== what I want m(a, b, <inline_object_creation_expression_including: def foo, def bar>) def m(a, b, c) if c.foo ... c.bar ... end Is there some convenient way to do this? Thanks!
2. redcloth / textile : preventing characters from being converted
Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong place for this - it might really be a textile question, I'm not sure. Am I correct in thinking that, text that is indented and enclosed between HTML tags, should be unaltered by RedCloth? My problem is that I'm using RedCloth to convert a file of textile markup which also contains some CSS styles defined in the <HEAD>. I thought that, as long as the CSS text was indented, then RedCloth wouldn't touch it. However, it still converts straight quotation marks to the nicer-looking (but apparently not valid CSS) curly ones. I get the feeling I may just be going about this wrong, so any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin
3. Detecting rubyw
Is there any way (on Windows) to detect if a script is running under rubyw.exe, i.e. headless? Thanks, Nathaniel Terralien, Inc. <:((><

Thread Timeout

Hi list,

i'm working with multiple threads, with a producer-consumer like algorithm.
My problem is that i want that the "consumer" thread take all the 
content every *N* seconds and after go to "sleep" again, It's the 
Timeout library a good solution? I can use Ruby 1.9 and 1.8 as well.

Thanks,
Francesco Vollero

Why do you want to do that?  If you want to schedule activity with 
particular intervals then I believe a scheduling solution would be 
better.  In a simplistic solution you can have the main thread sleep for 
the interval and create a thread for each task.

Kind regards

You go first. ;-)  You did not yet describe what kind of problem you are 
trying to solve.

Btw, sleeping and starting threads isn't that hard.

Cheers

1.Non-Threaded Timeout?

Hell all,

I'm looking for a way to implement a non-threaded timeout.  I am running
some Monte Carlo simulations using an external application via an OLE
interface.  There are times where the external application seems to hang
up, so I'm looking for a way to detect this and continue on with my
simulation if the external application takes too long.

Any suggestions?

2.Thread#raise, Thread#kill, and timeout.rb are unsafe

3.Timeout::timeout and Socket timeout

Hi ..


I would like to suggest that Socket trap ETIMEDOUT and raise Timeout::Error 
when a socket timeout occurs.  This would allow the following:

   begin
     Timeout::timeout(to) do
         t = TCPSocket.new(host,port)
               #
               # do socket stuff
               #
         t.close
      end
   rescue Timeout::Error => e
      p "Timeout --> #{e}"
   rescue Exception => e
        p "Exception --> #{e}"
   end

Rather than having a separate rescue clause.

Any thoughts?
