Timeout issue making system call in Ruby on Windows XP -

-

the following code 

require 'timeout'  begin   timeout(20)              # line 4     result = `hostname`   end                         # line 6 rescue timeout::error   puts "timeout"   exit end  puts "result:" + result       # line 12

throws error

issue.rb:12:in <main>': undefined local variable or methodresult' main:object (nameerror)

but if comment out timeout element (lines 4 , 6), works fine. have tried using io.popen, io.select etc none of helps. i've used timeout technique in many other areas , worked fine.

it doesn't appear related timeout value have experimented larger , smaller values.

am using ruby 1.92 on windows xp. appreciated.

p.s. original problem not running "hostname" more complex sql server batch job. bonus point, long running system task exceeded timeout automatically killed? have read lots of posts timeout library not honouring timeouts when busy running system tasks?

the result variable being defined inside timeout block, it's not visible in outer scope. should initialize before:

result = nil  begin   timeout(20)              # line 4     result = `hostname`   end                         # line 6 rescue timeout::error ...

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
