Hello everybody.

I downloaded the ruby 1.9.1 for windows and i’m trying to embed using  
C++ for 3 days and, i don’t know but for some reason i’m getting crashes  
with these functions:

…  
rb\_load\_file  
ruby\_incpush  
ruby\_options  
…

I searched for help but the documentation on ruby’s website is for 1.8.?  
and i can’t find anywhere a good documentation for 1.9.1. Thanks in  
advance.

Post a sample of your code, and the “crash” particulars. And what C++  
are you using?

I’m using MSVC 2008 Express

The code:

extern “C”  
{  
#include \<ruby.h\>  
}

#include   
#include \<conio.h\>

RUBY\_GLOBAL\_SETUP

int main(int argc, char \*\*argv)  
{  
RUBY\_INIT\_STACK

```
ruby_init();
ruby_init_loadpath();
ruby_script("embedded");

void *file = rb_load_file("test.rb");
ruby_run_node(file);

return 1;

```

}
