### Public Instance Methods

==(other) click to toggle source

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

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 130
    def ==(other)
      self.class === other and to_a == other.to_a
    end

Also aliased as: eql?, eql?
===(other) click to toggle source

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 has no version.

Additionally, the platform will match if the local CPU is 'arm' and the other CPU starts with “arm” (for generic ARM family support).

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 148
    def ===(other)
      return nil unless Gem::Platform === other

      # cpu
      ([nil,'universal'].include?(@cpu) or [nil, 'universal'].include?(other.cpu) or @cpu == other.cpu or
      (@cpu == 'arm' and other.cpu =~ /\Aarm/)) and

      # os
      @os == other.os and

      # version
      (@version.nil? or other.version.nil? or @version == other.version)
    end

=~(other) click to toggle source

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

    # File lib/rubygems/platform.rb, line 166
    def =~(other)
      case other
      when Gem::Platform then # nop
      when String then

                when /powerpc-darwin(\d)/   then ['powerpc',   'darwin',  $1    ]
                when /sparc-solaris2.8/     then ['sparc',     'solaris', '2.8' ]
                when /universal-darwin(\d)/ then ['universal', 'darwin',  $1    ]
                else                             other
