Detailed Description

LocalVariableReadNode.

Represents reading a local variable. Note that this requires that a local variable of the same name has already been written to in the same scope, otherwise it is parsed as a method call.

foo

Type: PM_LOCAL_VARIABLE_READ_NODE

Field Documentation

◆ name

pm_constant_id_t pm_local_variable_read_node::name

LocalVariableReadNode::name.

The name of the local variable, which is an identifier.

x      # name `:x`

_Test  # name `:_Test`

Note that this can also be an underscore followed by a number for the default block parameters.

_1     # name `:_1`

◆ depth

uint32_t pm_local_variable_read_node::depth

LocalVariableReadNode::depth.

The number of visible scopes that should be searched to find the origin of this local variable.

foo = 1; foo # depth 0

bar = 2; tap { bar } # depth 1

The specific rules for calculating the depth may differ from individual Ruby implementations, as they are not specified by the language. For more information, see the Prism documentation.
