Issue #6646 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Closed


----------------------------------------
Feature #6646: Objectified caller
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6646#change-27465

In Feature #3917 it is mentioned short-coming of caller:

* caller() returns an array of "filename:linenum in `method'" string.
  User must parse it and retrieve filename and linenum by rexp.
  It is also very heavy weight task.

I think many have wished for objectified trace.

  caller[0].file
  caller[0].line
  caller[0].in

Different method would be needed than #caller though to prevent backward compatibility issue.
