Returns whether or not the given entry point func
can be found within lib
. If func
is nil
, the main()
entry point is used by default. If found, it adds the library to list of libraries to be used when linking your extension.
If headers
are provided, it will include those header files as the header files it looks in when searching for func
.
The real name of the library to be linked can be altered by --with-FOOlib
configuration option.
Returns whether or not the function func
can be found in the common header files, or within any headers
that you provide. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the function name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_
.
To check functions in an additional library, you need to check that library first using have_library()
. The func
shall be either mere function name or function name with arguments.
For example, if have_func('foo')
returned true
, then the HAVE_FOO
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Returns whether or not the variable var
can be found in the common header files, or within any headers
that you provide. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the variable name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_
.
To check variables in an additional library, you need to check that library first using have_library()
.
For example, if have_var('foo')
returned true, then the HAVE_FOO
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Returns whether or not the given header
file can be found on your system. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the header file name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_
.
For example, if have_header('foo.h')
returned true, then the HAVE_FOO_H
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Returns whether or not the given framework
can be found on your system. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the framework name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_FRAMEWORK_
.
For example, if have_framework('Ruby')
returned true, then the HAVE_FRAMEWORK_RUBY
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
If fw
is a pair of the framework name and its header file name that header file is checked, instead of the normally used header file which is named same as the framework.
Returns whether or not the static type type
is defined. You may optionally pass additional headers
to check against in addition to the common header files.
You may also pass additional flags to opt
which are then passed along to the compiler.
If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_TYPE_
.
For example, if have_type('foo')
returned true, then the HAVE_TYPE_FOO
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Generates a header file consisting of the various macro definitions generated by other methods such as have_func
and have_header. These are then wrapped in a custom #ifndef
based on the header
file name, which defaults to “extconf.h”.
For example:
# extconf.rb require 'mkmf' have_func('realpath') have_header('sys/utime.h') create_header create_makefile('foo')
The above script would generate the following extconf.h file:
#ifndef EXTCONF_H #define EXTCONF_H #define HAVE_REALPATH 1 #define HAVE_SYS_UTIME_H 1 #endif
Given that the create_header
method generates a file based on definitions set earlier in your extconf.rb file, you will probably want to make this one of the last methods you call in your script.
Generates the Makefile for your extension, passing along any options and preprocessor constants that you may have generated through other methods.
The target
name should correspond the name of the global function name defined within your C extension, minus the Init_
. For example, if your C extension is defined as Init_foo
, then your target would simply be “foo”.
If any “/” characters are present in the target name, only the last name is interpreted as the target name, and the rest are considered toplevel directory names, and the generated Makefile will be altered accordingly to follow that directory structure.
For example, if you pass “test/foo” as a target name, your extension will be installed under the “test” directory. This means that in order to load the file within a Ruby program later, that directory structure will have to be followed, e.g. require 'test/foo'
.
The srcprefix
should be used when your source files are not in the same directory as your build script. This will not only eliminate the need for you to manually copy the source files into the same directory as your build script, but it also sets the proper target_prefix
in the generated Makefile.
Setting the target_prefix
will, in turn, install the generated binary in a directory under your RbConfig::CONFIG['sitearchdir']
that mimics your local filesystem when you run make install
.
For example, given the following file tree:
ext/ extconf.rb test/ foo.c
And given the following code:
create_makefile('test/foo', 'test')
That will set the target_prefix
in the generated Makefile to “test”. That, in turn, will create the following file tree when installed via the make install
command:
/path/to/ruby/sitearchdir/test/foo.so
It is recommended that you use this approach to generate your makefiles, instead of copying files around manually, because some third party libraries may depend on the target_prefix
being set properly.
The srcprefix
argument can be used to override the default source directory, i.e. the current directory. It is included as part of the VPATH
and added to the list of INCFLAGS
.
Add observer
as an observer on this object. So that it will receive notifications.
observer
the object that will be notified of changes.
func
Symbol
naming the method that will be called when this Observable
has changes.
This method must return true for observer.respond_to?
and will receive *arg
when notify_observers
is called, where *arg
is the value passed to notify_observers
by this Observable
Remove observer
as an observer on this object so that it will no longer receive notifications.
observer
An observer of this Observable
Remove all observers associated with this object.
Notify observers of a change in state if this object’s changed state is true
.
This will invoke the method named in add_observer
, passing *arg
. The changed state is then set to false
.
*arg
Any arguments to pass to the observers.
The mode needed to read a file as straight binary.
Safely read a file in binary mode on all platforms.
Looks for a gem dependency file at path
and activates the gems in the file if found. If the file is not found an ArgumentError
is raised.
If path
is not given the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable is used, but if no file is found no exception is raised.
If ‘-’ is given for path
RubyGems searches up from the current working directory for gem dependency files (gem.deps.rb, Gemfile, Isolate) and activates the gems in the first one found.
You can run this automatically when rubygems starts. To enable, set the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS
environment variable to either the path of your gem dependencies file or “-” to auto-discover in parent directories.
NOTE: Enabling automatic discovery on multiuser systems can lead to execution of arbitrary code when used from directories outside your control.
Returns the time resolution returned by POSIX clock_getres
() function.
clock_id
specifies a kind of clock. See the document of Process.clock_gettime
for details.
clock_id
can be a symbol as Process.clock_gettime
. However the result may not be accurate. For example, +Process.clock_getres(:GETTIMEOFDAY_BASED_CLOCK_REALTIME)+ returns 1.0e-06 which means 1 microsecond, but actual resolution can be more coarse.
If the given clock_id
is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.
unit
specifies a type of the return value. Process.clock_getres
accepts unit
as Process.clock_gettime
. The default value, :float_second
, is also same as Process.clock_gettime
.
Process.clock_getres
also accepts :hertz
as unit
. :hertz
means a the reciprocal of :float_second
.
:hertz
can be used to obtain the exact value of the clock ticks per second for times() function and CLOCKS_PER_SEC for clock() function.
+Process.clock_getres(:TIMES_BASED_CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, :hertz)+ returns the clock ticks per second.
+Process.clock_getres(:CLOCK_BASED_CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, :hertz)+ returns CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
p Process.clock_getres(Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC) #=> 1.0e-09
