Ironruby core - Dec 2007 - $0 global variable

I would really like to be able to do this:

 

if __FILE__ == $0

  require File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../../Util/simple_test.rb''

end

 

But, since $0 currently always returns nil, I can''t.

 

Any chance you could squeeze it into the next SVN revision?

 

Cheers,

Pete

John Lam has ARGV working--presumably it''s not too hard to make $0 work
too.

Thanks Johns.  I have worked around it so it is not so important now.
Nearly got the rest of the number stuff done.  Look out for a big new year
patch soon.
