### Constants

CURRENT

  A platform-specific gem that is built for the packaging Ruby’s platform. This will be replaced with `Gem::Platform::local`.

RUBY

### Public Instance Methods

== (other)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 173
    def ==(other)
      self.class === other && to_a == other.to_a
    end

Is `other` equal to this platform? Two platforms are equal if they have the same CPU, OS and version.

Also aliased as: eql?
=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 201
    def ===(other)
      return nil unless Gem::Platform === other

      # universal-mingw32 matches x64-mingw-ucrt
      return true if (@cpu == "universal" || other.cpu == "universal") &&
                     @os.start_with?("mingw") && other.os.start_with?("mingw")

      # cpu
      ([nil,"universal"].include?(@cpu) || [nil, "universal"].include?(other.cpu) || @cpu == other.cpu ||
      (@cpu == "arm" && other.cpu.start_with?("armv"))) &&

        # os
        @os == other.os &&

        # version
        (
          (@os != "linux" && (@version.nil? || other.version.nil?)) ||
          (@os == "linux" && (normalized_linux_version == other.normalized_linux_version || ["musl#{@version}", "musleabi#{@version}", "musleabihf#{@version}"].include?(other.version))) ||
          @version == other.version
        )
    end

Does `other` match this platform? Two platforms match if they have the same CPU, or either has a CPU of ‘universal’, they have the same OS, and they have the same version, or either one has no version

Additionally, the platform will match if the local CPU is ‘arm’ and the other CPU starts with “armv” (for generic 32-bit ARM family support).

Of note, this method is not commutative. Indeed the OS ‘linux’ has a special case: the version is the libc name, yet while “no version” stands as a wildcard for a binary gem platform (as for other OSes), for the runtime platform “no version” stands for ‘gnu’. To be able to distinguish these, the method receiver is the gem platform, while the argument is the runtime platform.

      when Gem::Platform then # nop

        other = case other
                when /^i686-darwin(\d)/     then ["x86",       "darwin",  $1]

                when "powerpc-darwin"       then ["powerpc",   "darwin",  nil]
                when /powerpc-darwin(\d)/   then ["powerpc",   "darwin",  $1]

                when /universal-darwin(\d)/ then ["universal", "darwin",  $1]
                else other
        end

        other = Gem::Platform.new other
      else
        return nil
      end

      self === other
    end

Does `other` match this platform? If `other` is a `String` it will be converted to a `Gem::Platform` first. See `===` for matching rules.

deconstruct ()

Deconstructs the platform into an array for pattern matching. Returns [cpu, os, version].

    Gem::Platform.new("x86_64-linux").deconstruct  #=> ["x86_64", "linux", nil]

This enables array pattern matching:

    case Gem::Platform.new("arm64-darwin-21")
    in ["arm64", "darwin", version]
      # version => "21"
    end

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 165
    def deconstruct_keys(keys)
      { cpu: @cpu, os: @os, version: @version }
    end

Deconstructs the platform into a hash for pattern matching. Returns a hash with keys `:cpu`, `:os`, and `:version`.

    Gem::Platform.new("x86_64-darwin-20").deconstruct_keys(nil)
    #=> { cpu: "x86_64", os: "darwin", version: "20" }

This enables hash pattern matching:

    case Gem::Platform.new("x86_64-linux")
    in cpu: "x86_64", os: "linux"
      # Matches Linux on x86_64
    end
