print out a variable's name and value?

[Ferenc Engard]

Hello,

I want a comfortable debug function to which I can pass a variable, and
it writes out the variable's name and value. Can I accomplish this?

If I could manipulate the calling stack as bindings, and could get the
binding of the caller, then I could pass the variable's name (e.g. as
debugx)), and make it's name and value printed.

If I have to write debugx,binding()), then instead I write
debugx,x). ) And I will be sad that I cannot use CPP on ruby
source.
