Ruby bindings

ruby-talk
1

Hello!

Consider I have a collection of some C++ libs, in which I have
access to the actual source code (strict C++). I want to create
Ruby bindings and be able to utilize the C++ code through Ruby.

Is there a standard process in doing such a thing? Any document
describing the process, except the Ruby sources?

So far I have only the ruby-gtk+ sources, which, IMHO, is a
heavy project and I have no clue if the ruby-gtk+ folks follow
a standard model or something else (for performance reasons).

Regards,

If you mean process in the sense of executable software, SWIG/Ruby is great:

Maybe Ruby/DL already helps ?
http://ttsky.net/ruby/ruby-dl.html
It is included in ruby since 1.8 I think.
You can find more documentation under ruby/ext/dl/
