How to get current stack level

Question

Can I get current level of stack in Ruby?

Currently I use caller.size which is ok, but looks not native

caller.size is pretty much exactly what you want, since it is fairly standard, widely implemented, and gives you the number of frames on the stack. It is a native function on MRI, and most other interpreters.

so there is no any `caller.stack_level`-like method? – fl00r Feb 29 '12 at 08:23
`caller.size`? No, there isn't an alias to give you what you want there - but it would be absolutely identical in behaviour if it did exist. :) – Daniel Pittman Mar 01 '12 at 23:18
