From: nobu@... Date: 2020-04-10T06:00:18+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:97775] [Ruby master Feature#16742] RbConfig.windows? and RbConfig.host_os Issue #16742 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). Is `host_os` what you want to see? `RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os']` is bare value by config.guess, like "linux-gnu", "darwin19.4.0", etc. `RUBY_PLATFORM` consists of "target_cpu" and "target_os" instead. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16742: RbConfig.windows? and RbConfig.host_os https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16742#change-84990 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I think adding these two methods would greatly clarify platform checks: ```ruby RbConfig.windows? # obvious, much clearer than RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(mswin|mingw)/ RbConfig.host_os # same as RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'], but much shorter ``` `RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os']` is too long and feels like digging in the internals even though it's such a simple thing to query. For comparison, there is already a `RbConfig.ruby` method on `RbConfig`, which helps avoiding the boilerplate to access `RbConfig::CONFIG` manually.
