Akr-san, thank you for your reply. I agree that it is a better default than the fixed 79. However, I'd still like to have `PP.default_maxwidth=` too. My motivation is to show abstract syntax tree (in [my article](http://ascii.jp/elem/000/001/255/1255878/)). In such a case, I think that "break as far as possible" would be useful. Thank you for your consideration, ---------------------------------------- Feature #12913: A way to configure the default maximum width of pp https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12913#change-61413 * Author: Yusuke Endoh * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Akira Tanaka ---------------------------------------- How about having an easy way to configure the maximum width of a line of `pp` output? Currently, `pp` accepts the maximum width as an optional argument: pp(big_array, $>, 120) However, this is obviously too long for a useful debugging-purpose method like `pp`. Even worse, we must add the fragment "`, $>, 120`" to all calls to `pp`. I don't feel this is reasonable. The patch attached provides `PP.default_maxwidth=` and `PP.default_maxwidth`, which can be used to configure the default setting of the maxwidth. PP.default_maxwidth = 1 pp([1, 2, 3]) #=> [1, # 2, # 3] Akr-san, what do you think? ---Files-------------------------------- pp-default-maxwidth.patch (1.05 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
