Ruby Inline is an analog to Perl's Inline::C. Out of the box, it allows you to
|
|
embed C/++ external module code in your ruby script directly. By writing
|
|
simple builder classes, you can teach how to cope with new languages (fortran,
|
|
perl, whatever). The code is compiled and run on the fly when needed.
|
|
|
|
Using the package_inline tool Inline now allows you to package up your
|
|
inlined object code for distribution to systems without a compiler
|
|
(read: windows)!
|
|
|
|
FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
|
|
* Quick and easy inlining of your C or C++ code embedded in your ruby
|
|
script.
|
|
* Extendable to work with other languages.
|
|
* Automatic conversion between ruby and C basic types
|
|
o char, unsigned, unsigned int, char *, int, long, unsigned long
|
|
* inline_c_raw exists for when the automatic conversion isn't
|
|
sufficient.
|
|
* Only recompiles if the inlined code has changed.
|
|
* Pretends to be secure.
|
|
* Only requires standard ruby libraries, nothing extra to download.
|
|
* Can generate a basic Rakefile and package up built extensions for
|
|
distribution.
