anyone out there written a parser that makes ruby dl bindings for *.h
files?
seems like such a beast would exist.
regards.

Well, you’d need more than just a parser, since you’d often have to pick
up on typedefs and other type information.
I wonder whether writing an alternate swig backend or something might
work.

that’s about what i was thinking too. the cool thing about it would be
that
you’d end up with ‘portable’ ruby extension requiring no compilation…
probably too big for me - i’m waiting for ryan davis to jump on

I tried to use DL to wrap libc for MetaRuby but found that it is
lacking necessary features to make it 100% useable (like 64 bit
integers for stat(2)). Switching to DL2 adds an unfamiliar
dependency whereas RubyInline is a familiar dependency.
