RubyInline version 3.6.3 has been released!

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.

Changes:

\*\*\* 3.6.3 / 2007-04-27

- 7 minor enhancements:  
Added map\_ruby\_const and map\_c\_const to C builder.  
Converted example.rb to a real benchmark setup.  
Improved error messages.  
Added options hash for all C builder methods.  
Options hash can take optional :method\_name param to have ruby name  
diff from c.  
Converted to a more traditional setup. Now I can heckle!  
Cleaned up ruby.h search.

- 2 bug fixes:  
Added CCDLFLAGS. _Should_ pick up -fPIC on misconfigured 64 bit  
machines.  
Broke up all warnings so progress report was cleaner.

int i=max, result=1;  
while (i \>= 2) { result \*= i–; }  
return result;  
}"  
end  
end  
t = MyTest.new()  
factorial\_5 = t.factorial(5)
