Hakto Safe SDBM Wrapper ======================= ## Introduction Hakto Safe SDBM Wrapper is a safe wrapper of SDBM library. Hakto has compatibility of instance method's interface that is in SDBM class. Hakto enables to tighten up a code that uses SDBM library like following codes. **before** class Klass def initialize(db_path) @db_path = db_path end def method1 SDBM.open(@db_path) do |dbm| dbm["hoge"] = "HOGE" end end def method2 SDBM.open(@db_path) do |dbm| dbm["hoge"] end end : end **after** class Klass def initialize(db_path) @sdb = Hakto::SafeSDBM.new(db_path) end def method1 sdb["hoge"] = "HOGE" end def method2 sdb["hoge"] end : end ## Operation Environment We checked good operation within following environment. - Linux(openSUSE 12.2)・Mac OS X 10.8.2 - Ruby 1.9.3 ## Architectonics - **bin** - **doc** :: Rdoc documents. - **lib** - **hakto** - **safe_sdbm.rb** :: Class of SafeSDBM - **LICENSE** - **Rakefile** :: Rakefile that is used to generate gem file - **README.md** - **README_jp.md** - **test** :: Unit tests - **tb_safe_sdbm.rb** :: Unit test for SafeSDBM ## Install Download hakto-x.y.z.gem, then execute following command to install Hakto. `$ sudo gem install hakto-x.y.z.gem` On the other hand, you can install from RubyGems.org to use following command. `$ sudo gem install hakto` Also you can install Hakto without gem. Allocate the safe_sdbm.rb where is ruby interpreter can load Hakto. ## Sample code See tb_safe_sdbm.rb file. It is an unit test code, and it doubles with sample code. ## API document See following website: [http://quellencode.org/hakto-doc/](http://quellencode.org/hakto-doc/ "") ## About Author Moza USANE [http://blog.quellencode.org/](http://blog.quellencode.org/ "") mozamimy@quellencode.org
A framework for getting Flowlink objects from other sources. For example: class Distributor::Product < Flowlink::Product def sku(hashable) # code that picks sku data out of a hashable object. end end Distributor::Product.new(CSV::Row).to_message #=> A bunch of NotImplementedError because just a sku is an invalid product
Germinate is a tool for writing about code. With Germinate, the source code IS the article. For example, given the following source code: # #!/usr/bin/env ruby # :BRACKET_CODE: <pre>, </pre> # :PROCESS: ruby, "ruby %f" # :SAMPLE: hello def hello(who) puts "Hello, #{who}" end hello("World") # :TEXT: # Check out my amazing program! Here's the hello method: # :INSERT: @hello:/def/../end/ # And here's the output: # :INSERT: @hello|ruby When we run the <tt>germ format</tt> command the following output is generated: Check out my amazing program! Here's the hello method: <pre> def hello(who) puts "Hello, #{who}" end </pre> And here's the output: <pre> Hello, World </pre> To get a better idea of how this works, please take a look at link:examples/basic.rb, or run: germ generate > basic.rb To generate an example article to play with. Germinate is particularly useful for writing articles, such as blog posts, which contain code excerpts. Instead of forcing you to keep a source code file and an article document in sync throughout the editing process, the Germinate motto is "The source code IS the article". Specially marked comment sections in your code file become the article text. Wherever you need to reference the source code in the article, use insertion directives to tell Germinate what parts of the code to excerpt. An advanced selector syntax enables you to be very specific about which lines of code you want to insert. If you also want to show the output of your code, Germinate has you covered. Special "process" directives enable you to define arbitrary commands which can be run on your code. The output of the command then becomes the excerpt text. You can define an arbitrary number of processes and have different excerpts showing the same code as processed by different commands. You can even string processes together into pipelines. Development of Germinate is graciously sponsored by Devver, purveyor of fine cloud-based services to busy Ruby developers. If you like this tool please check them out at http://devver.net.
Sweet is a pre-compiled language based on Ruby and Python. Sweet makes possible to use all the class, defs, conditionals, global and local variables power of server-side languages, defining blocks by indentation like Python in your Sweet HTML markup. It comes with a SIC ( Sweet Interactive Console ) the you can test your code and ideas before really right and compile it.
Parse Minitest files to read all the test case descriptions and include those with the relevant classes in your YARD documentation. This works for both ActiveSupport-style `test` blocks and regular old `def test_` methods. Test cases get listed at the bottom of your class documentation and include the test source code, file name and line numbers.

# Trope **[Documentation][docs] - [Gem][gems] - [Source][source]** Prototyping language that transcompiles into pure Ruby code. 1. Build your concept in Trope. 2. Write specs. 3. Transcompile into Ruby. 4. Destroy Trope files. 5. Red, green, refactor. ## Install > NOTE: Trope is not released yet, the gem is just a placeholder. ### Bundler: `gem 'trope'` ### RubyGems: `gem install trope` ## Example Create `library.trope`: ```ruby object Book attr name <String> -!wd 'Unnamed book' attr isbn <Integer> -w attr library <Library> -w do before write { @library.books.delete(self) unless @library.nil? } after write { @library.books.push(self) unless @library.books.include?(self) } end end object Library attr books <Array> -d Array.new meth add_book do |attributes_or_book <Hash, Book>| book = attributes_or_book.is_a?(Book) ? attributes_or_book : Book.new(attributes_or_book) book.library = self @books << book end end ``` Now generate the Ruby code: ```sh $ trope compile libary.trope ``` Those 15 lines will be transcompiled into the following pure Ruby code in `library.rb`: ```ruby class Book class Error < RuntimeError; end class InvalidAttributesError < Error def to_s 'attributes must be a Hash or respond to #to_h' end end class MissingAttributeError < Error def initialize(attr_name, attr_class) @name, @class = attr_name.to_s, attr_class.to_s end def to_s "attribute '#@name' does not exist for #@class" end end class MissingNameError < Error def to_s 'name cannot be nil' end end class InvalidNameError < Error def to_s 'name must be an instance of String or respond to :to_s' end end class InvalidIsbnError < Error def to_s 'isbn must be an instance of Integer or respond to :to_i' end end class MissingLibraryError < Error def to_s 'library cannot be nil' end end class InvalidLibraryError < Error def to_s 'library must be an instance of Library' end end attr_reader *(@@_attributes = [:name, :isbn, :library]) def initialize(attributes={}) raise InvalidAttributesError unless attributes.is_a?(Hash) || attributes.respond_to?(:to_h) attributes = attributes.to_h unless attributes.is_a?(Hash) raise MissingNameError if attributes.has_key?(:name) && attributes[:name].nil?

attributes_or_book : Book.new(attributes_or_book) book.library = self @books << book end protected def _books=(value) raise InvalidBooksError unless value.is_a?(Array) || value.respond_to?(:to_a) value = value.to_a unless value.is_a?(Array) @books = value end end ``` Using the transcompiled Ruby code will produce the expected results: ```ruby p library = Library.new # => #<Library:0x007fc55c0ce418 @books=[]> p library.add_book name: 'Book 1', isbn: 1 # => [#<Book:0x007fc55c0cde78 @name=0, @isbn=1, @library=#<Library:0x007fc55c0ce418 @books=[...]>>] p library # => #<Library:0x007fc55c0ce418 @books=[#<Book:0x007fc55c0cde78 @name=0, @isbn=1, @library=#<Library:0x007fc55c0ce418 ...>>]> p library.books.first # => #<Book:0x007fc55c0cde78 @name=0, @isbn=1, @library=#<Library:0x007fc55c0ce418 @books=[#<Book:0x007fc55c0cde78 ...>]>> p library.books.first.isbn = nil # => nil p library.books.first.name = nil # => Book::MissingNameError: name cannot be nil p library.books.first.library = nil # => Book::MissingLibraryError: library cannot be nil p library.books.first.isbn = ['array'] # => Book::InvalidIsbnError: isbn must be an instance of Integer or respond to :to_i p library = Library.new(books: 123) # => Library::InvalidBooksError: books must be an instance of Array or respond to #to_a ``` ### Breakdown ```ruby object Book attr name <String> -!wd 'Unnamed book' end ``` This says that I have an object `Book` that has an attribute `name` (`attr name`) that must either be an instance/subclass of `String` or be able to convert to an instance of `String` using `#to_s` (`<String>`). It is a required attribute that can never be set to nil (`!`), has a writer method (`w`), and defaults to 'Unnamed book'. The minus sign (`-`) indicates a 'switch' or 'option', must like most *nix command line programs. The example could also have been written like so: ```ruby object Book attr name <String> -! -w -d 'Unnamed book' end ``` The above examples will transcompile into the following: ```ruby class Book class Error < RuntimeError; end class InvalidAttributesError < Error def to_s 'attributes must be a Hash or respond to #to_h' end end class MissingAttributeError < Error def initialize(attr_name, attr_class) @name, @class = attr_name.to_s, attr_class.to_s end def to_s "attribute '#@name' does not exist for #@class" end end class MissingNameError < Error def to_s 'name cannot be nil' end end class InvalidNameError < Error def to_s 'name must be an instance of String or respond to :to_s' end end attr_reader *(@@_attributes = [:name]) @@_required_attributes = [:name] def initialize(attributes={}) raise InvalidAttributesError unless attributes.is_a?(Hash) || attributes.respond_to?(:to_h) attributes = attributes.to_h unless attributes.is_a?(Hash) raise MissingNameError if attributes.has_key?(:name) && attributes[:name].nil? attributes[:name] = 'Unnamed book' unless attributes.has_key?(:name) attributes.each do |name, value| raise MissingAttributeError.new(name, self.class) unless @@_attributes.include?(name.to_sym) setter_method = "#{name}=" setter_method = "_#{setter_method}" unless self.class.method_defined?(setter_method) send(setter_method, value) end end def name=(value) raise MissingNameError if value.nil? raise InvalidNameError unless value.is_a?(String) || value.respond_to?(:to_s) value = value.to_i unless value.is_a?(Integer) @name = value end end ``` ## Contributing * Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet * Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it * Fork the project * Start a feature/bugfix branch * Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution * Make sure to add tests for it.

YARD-Heuristics YARD-Heuristics heuristically determines types of parameters and return values for YARD documentation that doesn’t explicitly document it. This allows you to write documentation that isn’t adorned with “obvious” types, but still get that information into the output. It also lets you nice-looking references to parameters and have them be marked up appropriately in HTML output. § Heuristics The following sections list the various heuristics that YARD-Heuristics apply for determining types of parameters and return values. Note that for all heuristics, a type will only be added if none already exists. § Parameter Named “other” A parameter named “other” has the same type as the receiver. This turns class Point def ==(other) into class Point # @param [Point] other def ==(other) § Parameter Types Derived by Parameter Name Parameters to a method with names in the following table has the type listed on the same row. | Name | Type | |--------+-----------| | index | [Integer] | | object | [Object] | | range | [Range] | | string | [String] | Thus class Point def x_inside?(range) becomes class Point # @param [Range] range def x_inside?(range) § Block Parameters If the last parameter to a method’s name begins with ‘&’ it has the type [Proc]. class Method def initialize(&block) becomes class Method # @param [Block] block def initialize(&block) § Return Types by Method Name For the return type of a method with less than two ‹@return› tags, the method name is lookup up in the following table and has the type listed on the same row. For the “type” “self or type”, if a ‹@param› tag exists with the name “other”, the type of the receiver is used, otherwise “self” is used. For the “type” “type”, the type of the receiver is used. | Name | Type | |-----------------+----------------| | ‹<<› | self or type | | ‹>>› | self or type | | ‹==› | [Boolean] | | ‹===› | [Boolean] | | ‹=~› | [Boolean] | | ‹<=>› | [Integer, nil] | | ‹+› | type | | ‹-› | type | | ‹*› | type | | ‹/› | type | | each | [self] | | each_with_index | [self] | | hash | [Integer] | | inspect | [String] | | length | [Integer] | | size | [Integer] | | to_s | [String] | | to_str | [String] | Thus class Point def <<(other) becomes class Point # @return [Point] def <<(other) but class List def <<(item) becomes class List # @return [self] def <<(item) § Emphasizing Parameter Names When producing HTML output, any words in all uppercase, with a possible “th” suffix, that is also the name of a parameter, an ‹@option›, or a ‹@yieldparam›, will be downcased and emphasized with a class of “parameter”. In the following example, “OTHER” will be turned into ‹<em class="parameter">other</em>›: class Point # @return True if the receiver’s class and {#x} and {#y} `#==` those of # OTHER def ==(other) § Usage Add ‹--plugin yard-heuristics-1.0› to your YARD command line. If you’re using Inventory-Rake-Tasks-YARD¹, add the following to your Rakefile: Inventory::Rake::Tasks::YARD.new do |t| t.options += %w'--plugin yard-heuristics-1.0' end ¹ See http://disu.se/software/inventory-rake-tasks-yard/ § API There’s really not very much to the YARD-Heuristics API. What you can do is add (or modify) the types of parameters and return types of methods by adding (or modifying) entries in the Hash tables ‹YARDHeuristics::ParamTypes› and ‹YARDHeuristics::ReturnTypes› respectively. That’s about it. § Financing Currently, most of my time is spent at my day job and in my rather busy private life. Please motivate me to spend time on this piece of software by donating some of your money to this project. Yeah, I realize that requesting money to develop software is a bit, well, capitalistic of me.

== DESCRIPTION: Charlie is a library for genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP). == FEATURES: - Quickly develop GAs by combining several parts (genotype, selection, crossover, mutation) provided by the library. - Sensible defaults are provided with any genotype, so often you only need to define a fitness function. - Easily replace any of the parts by your own code. - Test different strategies in GA, and generate reports comparing them. Example report: http://charlie.rubyforge.org/example_report.html == INSTALL: * sudo gem install charlie == EXAMPLES: This example solves a TSP problem (also quiz #142): N=5 CITIES = (0...N).map{|i| (0...N).map{|j| [i,j] } }.inject{|a,b|a+b} class TSP < PermutationGenotype(CITIES.size) def fitness d=0 (genes + [genes[0]]).each_cons(2){|a,b| a,b=CITIES[a],CITIES[b] d += Math.sqrt( (a[0]-b[0])**2 + (a[1]-b[1])**2 ) } -d # lower distance -> higher fitness. end use EdgeRecombinationCrossover, InversionMutator end Population.new(TSP,20).evolve_on_console(50) This example finds a polynomial which approximates cos(x) class Cos < TreeGenotype([proc{3*rand-1.5},:x], [:-@], [:+,:*,:-]) def fitness -[0,0.33,0.66,1].map{|x| (eval_genes(:x=>x) - Math.cos(x)).abs }.max end use TournamentSelection(4) end Population.new(Cos).evolve_on_console(500)

firescan-ruby ============= Ruby reference implementation for the Firebind Firescan path scan client This code has been tested to work with Ruby 1.9.3 and Firebind Reflector 1.0. Integration =========== Integrating the Firescan library is straight forward. It uses a single object 'Scan' and a simple callback mechanism using Ruby's built-in Observer feature. Create a Scan object, pass it your handler (something that implements the Observer update method) and run the Scan. A handler update method might look like this: def update(state) case state.current_state when :PORT_COMPLETE puts "Port #{state.port} #{state.description(state.port_result_code)}" when :PORT_START when :PORT_TICK when :SCAN_START when :START_FAILURE when :SCAN_COMPLETE else end end Then create and run a Scan object like this: scan = Firebind::Scan.new('scanme.firebind.com','1-10',:UDP) scan.add_observer myHandler state = scan.scan See the lib/example.rb script for a simple working example.
# COM # COM is an object-oriented wrapper around WIN32OLE. COM makes it easy to add behavior to WIN32OLE objects, making them easier to work with from Ruby. ## Usage ## Using COM is rather straightforward. There’s basically four concepts to keep track of: 1. COM objects 2. Instantiable COM objects 3. COM events 4. COM errors Let’s look at each concept separately, using the following example as a base. module Word end class Word::Application < COM::Instantiable def without_interaction with_properties('displayalerts' => Word::WdAlertsNone){ yield } end def documents Word::Documents.new(com.documents) end def quit(saving = Word::WdDoNotSaveChanges, *args) com.quit saving, *args end end ### COM Objects ### A COM::Object is a wrapper around a COM object. It provides error specialization, which is discussed later and a few utility methods. You typically use it to wrap COM objects that are returned by COM methods. If we take the example given in the introduction, Word::Documents is a good candidate: class Word::Documents < COM::Object DefaultOpenOptions = { 'confirmconversions' => false, 'readonly' => true, 'addtorecentfiles' => false, 'visible' => false }.freeze def open(path, options = {}) options = DefaultOpenOptions.merge(options) options['filename'] = Pathname(path).to_com Word::Document.new(com.open(options)) end end Here we override the #open method to be a bit easier to use, providing sane defaults for COM interaction. Worth noting is the use of the #com method to access the actual COM object to invoke the #open method on it. Also note that Word::Document is also a COM::Object. COM::Object provides a convenience method called #with_properties, which is used in the #without_interaction method above. It lets you set properties on the COM::Object during the duration of a block, restoring them after it exits (successfully or with an error). ### Instantiable COM Objects ### Instantiable COM objects are COM objects that we can connect to and that can be created. The Word::Application object can, for example, be created. Instantiable COM objects should inherit from COM::Instantiable. Instantiable COM objects can be told what program ID to use, whether or not to allow connecting to an already running object, and to load its associated constants upon creation. The program ID is used to determine what instantiable COM object to connect to. By default the name of the COM::Instantiable class’ name is used, taking the last two double-colon-separated components and joining them with a dot. For Word::Application, the program ID is “Word.Application”. The program ID can be set by using the .program_id method: class IDontCare::ForConventions < COM::Instantiable program_id 'Word.Application' end The program ID can be accessed with the same method: Word::Application.program_id # ⇒ 'Word.Application' Connecting to an already running COM object is not done by default, but is sometimes desirable: the COM object might take a long time to create, or some common state needs to be accessed. If the default for a certain instantiable COM object should be to connect, this can be done using the .connect method: class Word::Application < COM::Instantiable connect end If no running COM object is available, then a new COM object will be created in its stead. Whether or not a class uses the connection method can be queried with the .connect? method: Word::Application.connect? # ⇒ true Whether or not to load constants associated with an instantiable COM object is set with the .constants method: class Word::Application < COM::Instantiable constants true end and can similarly be checked: Word::Application.constants? # ⇒ true Constants are loaded by default. When an instance of the instantiable COM object is created, a check is run to see if constants should be loaded and whether or not they already have been loaded. If they should be loaded and they haven’t already been loaded, they’re, you guessed it, loaded. The constants are added to the module containing the COM::Instantiable. Thus, for Word::Application, the Word module will contain all the constants. Whether or not the constants have already been loaded can be checked with .constants_loaded?: Word::Application.constants_loaded # ⇒ false That concludes the class-level methods. Let’s begin with the #connected? method among the instance-level methods. This method queries whether or not this instance connected to an already running COM object: Word::Application.new.connected? # ⇒ false This can be very important in determining how shutdown of a COM object should be done. If you connected to an already COM object it might be foolish to shut it down if someone else is using it. The #initialize method takes a couple of options: * connect: whether or not to connect to a running instance * constants: whether or not to load constants These options will, when given, override the class-level defaults. ### Events ### COM events are easily dealt with: class Word::Application < COM::Instantiable def initialize(options = {}) super @events = COM::Events.new(com, 'ApplicationEvents', 'OnQuit') end def quit(saving = Word::WdDoNotSaveChanges, *args) @events.observe('OnQuit', proc{ com.quit saving, *args }) do yield if block_given? end end end To tell you the truth this API sucks and will most likely be rewritten. The reason that it is the way it is is that WIN32OLE, which COM wraps, sucks. It’s event API is horrid and the implementation is buggy. It will keep every registered event block in memory for ever, freeing neither the blocks nor the COM objects that yield the events. ### Errors ### All errors generated by COM methods descend from COM::Error, except for those cases where a Ruby error already exists. The following HRESULT error codes are turned into Ruby errors: HRESULT Error Code | Error Class -------------------|------------ 0x80004001 | NotImplementedError 0x80020005 | TypeError 0x80020006 | NoMethodError 0x8002000e | ArgumentError 0x800401e4 | ArgumentError There are also a couple of other HRESULT error codes that are turned into more specific errors than COM::Error: HRESULT Error Code | Error Class -------------------|------------ 0x80020003 | MemberNotFoundError 0x800401e3 | OperationUnavailableError Finally, when a method results in any other error, a COM::MethodInvocationError will be raised, which can be queried for the specifics, specifically #message, #method, #server, #code, #hresult_code, and #hresult_message. ### Pathname ### The Pathname object receives an additional method, #to_com. This method is useful for when you want to pass a Pathname object to a COM method. Simply call #to_com to turn it into a String of the right encoding for COM: Word::Application.new.documents.open(Pathname('a.docx').to_com) # ⇒ Word::Document ## Installation ## Install COM with % gem install com ## License ## You may use, copy and redistribute this library under the same [terms][1] as Ruby itself.
