Issue #20757 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada). Maybe no problem. Could you make a patch? ---------------------------------------- Feature #20757: Make rb_tracearg_(parameters|eval_script|instruction_sequence) public C-API https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20757#change-110902 * Author: richardboehme (Richard Böhme) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) ---------------------------------------- **Abstract** As a C-extension developer when using tracepoints I include "ruby/debug.h". This includes most of TracePoint's API but it seems like the C-equivalents for TracePoint#parameters, TracePoint#eval_script and TracePoint#instruction_sequence are missing/not being exported in the header. **Background** Most APIs like rb_tracearg_return_value are exported in "ruby/debug.h". If I understand correctly, the implementations for those methods are located in "ruby/vm_trace.c". The following methods implemented in "ruby/vm_trace.c" are missing in "ruby/debug.h": * rb_tracearg_parameters * rb_tracearg_eval_script * rb_tracearg_instruction_sequence **Proposal** I propose to add those methods to "ruby/debug.h". From my limiting understanding the change should be simple and not break backward compatibility, because we'd only need to add those function declarations to "ruby/debug.h". I'd be open to contribute this change if it was approved. **Use cases** I'm implementing a method call tracer for Ruby using the C-extension API. I wanted to get information about the parameters that the called method receives. When writing in Ruby this can be done using the TracePoint#parameters method, but I could not find the equivalent C-API. A workaround is to retrieve the method object (using the method_id) and check the method parameters. **See also** * Implementation of TracePoint#parameters in #14694 * Implementation of TracePoint#eval_script and TracePoint#instruction_sequence in #15287 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
