How to export classes from C extensions to Ruby?

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

Hi, I've coded a Ruby C extension in which some exception classes are
created. However, those classes are not visible in Ruby itself.

This is, if for example I do a "irb":

irb> require "myexten.so"

Then the exception classes don't exist. But the functions in the C
extension can make use of them, raise them and so.

I create the classes as follows:

void Init_utils() {
...
// Create a exception XDMSURLParsingError.
class_error =3D rb_define_class("MyProjectError", rb_eStandardError);
class_url_parsing_error =3D rb_define_class("URLParsingError", class_erro=
r);
}

Should I do something special to export these classes to Ruby? Of
course a workaround would be creating these classes also in Ruby, but
seems a bit "dirty"

Thanks.

Sorry, my fault. The class is visible but it's not in the module I've
created so I ddin't capture the correct exception.
