Overview

Trip is a concurrent tracer that can pause and resume the code it is tracing. Trip yields control between two Fibers - typically the root Fiber and a Fiber that Trip creates. The process of yielding control back and forth between the two Fibers can be repeated until the the code being traced has finished and exits normally. Trip is currently implemented using TracePoint.

#pause_when(callable = nil, &block) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Sets a callable that decides when to pause the tracer.

Examples:

trip = Trip.new { Kernel.puts(1 + 1) }
trip.pause_when { |event| event.c_call? || event.c_return? }

Parameters:

  • callable (Proc) (defaults to: nil) —

    A block or object that implements "call".

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    When a callable is not provided.
