Corresponding C-method for setting and changing a local or global variable

Ruby
1

its me again, still having trouble with the c-core.

im trying to find the c-method(s) which is responsible if a local or
global variable is set.

example:

class X
$globvar = “hey” <- setting/instanciation of a global variable
def hello
hi = “hi” <- setting/instancition of a local variable
end
end

I’ve found out that the responsible methods for setting a class variable
is: rb_cvar_set
, for setting an instancevariable is rb_ivar_set and for constants
rb_const_set

I hope you can help me with finding the right methods for local and
global vars

thanks so much!!

Define a global variable with rb_define_variable. Set and get the
variable’s value with rb_gv_set and rb_gv_get.

There is no function that works with local variables.
