Change History

Changed 8 months ago by lsansonetti@…

  • milestone set to MacRuby 0.2 
$ cat ~/.irbrc
IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = true

$ macirb
/Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.2/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb/ext/save-history.rb:68:in `define_finalizer': define_finalizer() function is unimplemented on this machine (NotImplementedError)

Need to re-implement ObjectSpace.define_finalizer.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

Fixed in r217. Note that IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] must be set to a number (the max. number of expressions that will be kept in the history). For example, 200.

Also, note that the very first expression is never saved, because of a bug in the readline extension (which uses libedit). This problem is also reproducible with the Ruby 1.8 version that ships with Leopard.
