Feature #6646: Objectified caller

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 2.0.0

In Feature #3917 it is mentioned short-coming of caller:

• caller() returns an array of "filename:linenum in `method'" string.
  User must parse it and retrieve filename and linenum by rexp.
  It is also very heavy weight task.

I think many have wished for objectified trace.

caller[0].file
caller[0].line
caller[0].in

Different method would be needed than #caller though to prevent backward compatibility issue.

is [ruby-core:45693] not enough?

loc = caller_locations[0]
loc#label # #in
loc#lineno # #line
loc#path # #file

[trans (Thomas Sawyer)]

Yep! And Yeah!
