From: nobu@... Date: 2015-01-25T23:29:04+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:67808] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4824] Provide method Kernel#executed? Issue #4824 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada. Description updated My proposal was `__FILE__.main?`, not `FILE.main?`. Just you're confused by markdown. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4824: Provide method Kernel#executed? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4824#change-51218 * Author: Lazaridis Ilias * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- The current construct to execute main code looks not very elegant: ~~~ruby if __FILE__ == $0 my_main() # call any method or execute any code end ~~~ With a `Kernel#executed?` method, this would become more elegant: ~~~ruby if executed? #do this #do that my_main() end ~~~ or ~~~ruby main() if executed? ~~~ This addition would not break any existent behaviour. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
