class DRb::DRbIdConv

Class responsible for converting between an object and its id.

This, the default implementation, uses an object’s local ObjectSpace __id__ as its id. This means that an object’s identification over drb remains valid only while that object instance remains alive within the server runtime.

For alternative mechanisms, see DRb::TimerIdConv in drb/timeridconv.rb and DRbNameIdConv in sample/name.rb in the full drb distribution.

Public Instance Methods

to_id (obj)

Source

# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/drb-2.2.3/lib/drb/drb.rb, line 407
def to_id(obj)
  (nil == obj) ? nil : DRB_OBJECT_SPACE.to_id(obj)
end

Convert an object into a reference id.

This implementation returns the object’s __id__ in the local object space.

to_obj (ref)

Source

# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/drb-2.2.3/lib/drb/drb.rb, line 399
def to_obj(ref)
  DRB_OBJECT_SPACE.to_obj(ref)
end

Convert an object reference id to an object.

This implementation looks up the reference id in the local object space and returns the object it refers to.
