# mruby-kernel-ext
This mrbgem extends the `Kernel` module in mruby with additional useful methods.
## Methods
### `fail(*args)`
Raises a `RuntimeError`. This is an alias for `raise`.
Example:
```ruby
fail "Something went wrong"
# Raises RuntimeError: Something went wrong
```
### `caller(start=1, length=nil) -> array | nil`
### `caller(range) -> array | nil`
Returns the current execution stack (backtrace).
- If `start` is provided, it indicates the number of frames to skip.
- If `length` is provided, it limits the number of frames returned.
- If a `range` is provided, it specifies the portion of the stack to return.
Returns `nil` if `start` is greater than or equal to the number of frames in the stack.
Example:
```ruby
def foo
bar
end
def bar
puts caller(0) # Show all frames starting from the current one
puts caller(1) # Skip one frame
end
foo
```
### `__method__ -> symbol | nil`
Returns the name of the current method as a `Symbol`. If called outside of a method, it returns `nil`.
Example:
```ruby
class MyClass
def my_method
puts __method__
end
end
MyClass.new.my_method
# Output: :my_method
```
### `__callee__ -> symbol | nil`
Returns the called name of the current method as a `Symbol`. If called outside of a method, it returns `nil`. This can be different from `__method__` when using aliases.
Example:
```ruby
class MyClass
def original_method
puts __callee__
end
alias aliased_method original_method
end
obj = MyClass.new
obj.original_method # Output: :original_method
obj.aliased_method # Output: :aliased_method
```
### `Integer(arg, base=0) -> integer`
Converts `arg` to an `Integer`.
- Numeric types are converted directly (floating-point numbers are truncated).
- If `arg` is a `String`, `base` (0, or between 2 and 36) is used as the base for conversion.
- If `base` is omitted or zero, radix indicators (`0`, `0b`, `0x`) in the string are honored.
- Strings must strictly conform to numeric representation, unlike `String#to_i`.
- Passing `nil` raises a `TypeError`.
Examples:
```ruby
Integer(123.999) #=> 123
Integer("0x1a") #=> 26
Integer("0930", 10) #=> 930
Integer("111", 2) #=> 7
# Integer(nil) #=> TypeError
# Integer("invalid") #=> ArgumentError
```
### `Float(arg) -> float`
Converts `arg` to a `Float`.
- Numeric types are converted directly.
- Other types are converted using `arg.to_f`.
- Passing `nil` raises a `TypeError`.
Examples:
```ruby
Float(1) #=> 1.0
Float(123.456) #=> 123.456
Float("123.456") #=> 123.456
# Float(nil) #=> TypeError
# Float("invalid") #=> ArgumentError
```
### `String(arg) -> string`
Converts `arg` to a `String` using its `to_s` method.
Examples:
```ruby
String(self) #=> "main"
String(self.class) #=> "Object"
String(123456) #=> "123456"
String(:symbol) #=> "symbol"
```
### `Array(arg) -> array`
Converts `arg` to an `Array`.
- If `arg` responds to `to_a`, it calls `to_a` to convert.
- Otherwise, it returns a new array containing `arg` as its single element.
Examples:
```ruby
Array(1..5) #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Array([1, 2, 3]) #=> [1, 2, 3]
Array("hello") #=> ["hello"] # If String does not have to_a
Array({ a: 1, b: 2 }) #=> [[:a, 1], [:b, 2]] # If Hash has to_a
```
### `Hash(arg) -> hash`
Converts `arg` to a `Hash`.
- If `arg` is already a `Hash`, it is returned.
- If `arg` is `nil` or an empty `Array`, an empty `Hash` is returned.
- Otherwise, it raises a `TypeError`.
Examples:
```ruby
Hash({ key: :value }) #=> { key: :value }
Hash(nil) #=> {}
Hash([]) #=> {}
# Hash([1, 2, 3]) #=> TypeError
```
