Extension: array size?

Rubyists,

I know I am missing something obvious here. How do I
find the number of elements in an array from C? In other
words, what is the equivalent of Array#size/length in C?

TIA,

-mark.

RARRAY(arr)->len

Hi,

It is mentioned “informally” on the second page of “Extending
Ruby” Chapter in the pickaxe book (p. 172). It is ‘RARRAY(arr)->len’,
which is of type ‘long’. (Well, in this case actually we are dealing with
the internal structure of RARRAY; just hope that Matz will never change
it…)

Regards,

Bill
