xmp(exps, bind = nil) click to toggle source

A convenience method that’s only available when the you require the `IRB::XMP` standard library.

Creates a new `XMP` object, using the given expressions as the `exps` parameter, and optional binding as `bind` or uses the top-level binding. Then evaluates the given expressions using the `:XMP` prompt mode.

For example:

    require 'irb/xmp'
    ctx = binding
    xmp 'foo = "bar"', ctx
    #=> foo = "bar"
      #==>"bar"
    ctx.eval 'foo'
    #=> "bar"

See `XMP.new` for more information.

    # File irb/xmp.rb, line 159
    def xmp(exps, bind = nil)
      bind = IRB::Frame.top(1) unless bind
      xmp = XMP.new(bind)
      xmp.puts exps
      xmp
    end
