RubyInline version 3.0.0 has been released!

Ruby Inline is my quick attempt to create an analog to Perl’s
Inline::C. It allows you to embed C or C++ external module code in
your ruby script directly. The code is compiled and run on the fly
when needed. The ruby version isn’t near as feature-full as the perl
version, but it is neat!

** FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • Quick and easy inlining of your C or C++ code embedded in your ruby
    script.
  • Rudimentary automatic conversion between ruby and C basic types
    (char, unsigned, unsigned int, char *, int, long, unsigned long).
  • inline_c_raw exists for when the automatic conversion isn’t
    sufficient.
  • Only recompiles if the inlined code has changed.
  • Pretends to be secure.
  • Only uses standard ruby libraries, nothing extra to download.
  • Simple as it can be. Less than 230 lines long… um… sorta simple.

Changes:

  • Complete rewrite with new design.
  • Multiple language support, works with C/C++ out of the box.
  • Multiple functions per compilation unit, now allowing entire
    classes to be defined and linked in one unit.
