ANN: RubyInline 3.5.0 released

[Ryan Davis]

RubyInline version 3.5.0 has been released!

http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/RubyInline/
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinline/

** DESCRIPTION:

Ruby Inline is an analog to Perl's Inline::C. Out of the box, it
allows you to embed C/++ external module code in your ruby script
directly. By writing simple builder classes, you can teach how to cope
with new languages (fortran, perl, whatever). The code is compiled and
run on the fly when needed.

Using the package_inline tool Inline now allows you to package up
your inlined object code for distribution to systems without a
compiler (read: windows)!

** FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

+ Quick and easy inlining of your C or C++ code embedded in your ruby
script.
+ Extendable to work with other languages.
+ 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 requires standard ruby libraries, nothing extra to download.
+ Can generate a basic Rakefile and package up built extensions for
distribution.

Changes:

+ 4 minor enhancements
+ Switched to install for Makefile.
+ Lots of minor cleanup.
+ Added add_to_init to extend init methods. Great hack!
+ Added 2 demo files used in the rubyconf 2005 presentation.
+ 1 bug fix
+ Fixed example in README.txt. OOPS!

Ruby Inline is an analog to Perl's Inline::C. Out of the box, it
allows you to embed C/++ external module code in your ruby script
directly. By writing simple builder classes, you can teach how to cope
with new languages (fortran, perl, whatever). The code is compiled and

If anyone is looking for projects in this area, Objective-C and Java
builder classes might be useful to have (Yes, I know about RubyCocoa,
rjni, and JRuby).
