I'll prefer to avoid patching the interpreter for now :p I need this feature because I'd like to know each time a local variable is updated. So, I found a way using set_trace_func and the binding attribute, here it is: set_trace_func lambda { |event, file, line, id, binding, classname| if event == "line" or event == "return" local = eval("local_variables", binding) local.each do |l| puts "#{l} : #{eval(l, binding)}" end puts "======" end } I suppose this is not really nice about performance, but it's working :p -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
