I am still trying to improve my poor C and Ruby-C knowledge,
today I managed to use rb_iv_set and rb_iv_get successfully … wow
But what I would really like to have would be a Pickaxe2-like
book dedicated to the C Side of ruby AT BEST with examples.
Pickaxe2 has a chapter, and while Pickaxe2 is one of my all-time
favourite books of programming language books (granted, many others
are so boring so maybe thats quite easy … :D) - the chapter
about the C side is really very very short.
My current method is to dig through other people’s code,
trying to understand and so on, but it would be darn awesome
if such a book would exist. In english …
How high are the chances that such a book would hit the retail
stores the next uh lets say… 12 months? (Hope dies last!)

I would also like to see this. My C knowledge is minimal at best, and
my
knowledge of tying Ruby and C is very limited.

It’s not a book, but I just gave a presentation on this topic.
Perhaps my slides will help. They are at http://www.ociweb.com/mark/
Ruby_C_Extensions.pdf. Comments on the slides are welcomed!
Hi there,
its a GREAT slide, visually very appealing. I think by far the best
about Ruby + C I saw so far.
It for sure helps but as you said, its not a book - I guess a real book
on this subject would be a lot of work and maybe not enough people
interested (compared to general ruby stuff), plus those that are
already C gurus would maybe not need it …

Right. If there was demand for it, I’d consider writing a book.
Anyway, thanks for this great slide!
PS: How did you make the small boxes+arrows?
I used PowerPoint.
