Hi all,
How do I write the code below within a C extension? I’ve seen a few
threads
about it (including ruby-talk: 86105) but I’m just not “getting it”.
Assume Foo is a subclass of String
module Kernel
def my_meth
instance_eval{ Foo.new(yield) }
end
end
With that I can do my_meth{ “some_string” } and get back a String
object.
I tried this:
static VALUE foo_block(VALUE self){
return rb_funcall(cFoo, rb_intern(“new”), 0, rb_yield(self));
}
static VALUE kernel_foo(VALUE self){
VALUE v_proc = rb_proc_new(foo_block, self); /* Also tried Qnil */
return rb_funcall(rb_cObject, rb_intern(“instance_eval”), 0,
v_proc);
}
rb_define_method(rb_mKernel, “my_meth”, kernel_foo, 0);
But this doesn’t seem to work. When I try I do call my_meth{
“some_string” } I
get `instance_eval’: block not supplied (ArgumentError)
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Daniel,
I never worked with blocks in a C extension like you do, but I noticed a
general problem in your code:
static VALUE foo_block(VALUE self){
return rb_funcall(cFoo, rb_intern(“new”), 0, rb_yield(self));
^
You’re passing one argument (the result of rb_yield()), yet you tell
ruby to expect zero arguments. So make that 0 a 1.
static VALUE kernel_foo(VALUE self){
VALUE v_proc = rb_proc_new(foo_block, self); /* Also tried Qnil */
return rb_funcall(rb_cObject, rb_intern(“instance_eval”), 0, v_proc);
Some problem here.

Ok, fixing that I get “can’t convert Proc into String (TypeError)”.
Maybe I’m supposed to be using rb_block_proc, but I’m not entirely
certain how
it works.

I guess I was over thinking it. This function works by itself:
static VALUE kernel_foo(VALUE self){
return rb_funcall(cFoo, rb_intern(“new”), 1,
rb_yield(rb_block_proc()));
}

Right now that code is equivalent to
obj.instance_eval block
Where it should be
obj.instance_eval &block
obj.instance_eval {some_code}
obj.instance_eval ‘some_code’
Maybe I’m supposed to be using rb_block_proc, but I’m not entirely
certain how
it works.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are giving the proc to the block, you have writing something like
thid
def xxx(&block)
Foo.new(yield(block))
end
