Embedded Ruby

Ruby
1

Hello all,
I’m trying to embedd ruby, so far this is what I have:

ruby_init();
ruby_init_loadpath();
ruby_script(“embedded”);
rb_load_file(“my_script.rb”);
ruby_run();
/* rest of my app here */

However, ruby is taking control of my code after calling ruby_run,
since it will always call “exit” after executing the code… is there
a way to not exit after executing the ruby code?

thanks a lot,

This is by design ruby_run() does not return. I imagine what you want
to do is
execute your script via rb_protect(). You could take a look at
ruby embedded into c++ althought it is embedding ruby
in C++
much of what it talks about works for C.

How vim embedds ruby is good code to read too. Download the vim source
code and look at if_ruby.c

enjoy,

nevermind, rb_eval_string suits my needs :stuck_out_tongue:
