Hello,
Can anyone out there point me to some tutorial or examples on how to
use the Ruby VM? Most specifically, how to separate the VM into
multiple contexts with their own set of global objects and maybe how
to use the stack functions.
thx

I don’t think there is an easy way to sandbox multiple contexts and
still use global variables etc. You would at least have to hack the
interpreter, I guess. What are you trying to accomplish?
Kind regards

I am adding ruby to be used as a scripting language in WebKit/WebCore.
It’s really working great but it’s not feasable for anything else than
playing around if i can’t sandbox multiple contexts. I could build the
ruby VM directly into the core and hack it for multiple contexts but i
was hoping i would not need to do that. Are there any other options
out there?

Google for “ruby sandbox” and you should find the sandbox gem - e.g.
second hit I get is
http://flouri.sh/2009/4/4/how-to-set-up-the-ruby-sandbox
It’s a C extension but requires only one small patch to the ruby
interpreter.
IIRC it was one of _why’s projects - to skip a long (and possibly
unfinished) story, he destroyed his own code repositories. However there
appear to be various forks available on github.
