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 entry point func
can be found within the library lib
in one of the paths
specified, where paths
is an array of strings. If func
is nil
, then the main()
function is used as the entry point.
If lib
is found, then the path it was found on is added to the list of library paths searched and linked against.
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.
Instructs mkmf to search for the given header
in any of the paths
provided, and returns whether or not it was found in those paths.
If the header is found then the path it was found on is added to the list of included directories that are sent to the compiler (via the -I
switch).
Returns whether or not the constant const
is defined. You may optionally pass the type
of const
as [const, type]
, such as:
have_const(%w[PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER pthread_mutex_t], "pthread.h")
You may also pass additional headers
to check against in addition to the common header files, and 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_CONST_
.
For example, if have_const('foo')
returned true, then the HAVE_CONST_FOO
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Tests for the presence of a --with-
config or --without-
config option. Returns true
if the with option is given, false
if the without option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if with_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
Tests for the presence of an --enable-
config or --disable-
config option. Returns true
if the enable option is given, false
if the disable option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if enable_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
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.
Sets a target
name that the user can then use to configure various “with” options with on the command line by using that name. For example, if the target is set to “foo”, then the user could use the --with-foo-dir=prefix
, --with-foo-include=dir
and --with-foo-lib=dir
command line options to tell where to search for header/library files.
You may pass along additional parameters to specify default values. If one is given it is taken as default prefix
, and if two are given they are taken as “include” and “lib” defaults in that order.
In any case, the return value will be an array of determined “include” and “lib” directories, either of which can be nil if no corresponding command line option is given when no default value is specified.
Note that dir_config
only adds to the list of places to search for libraries and include files. It does not link the libraries into your application.
Returns compile/link information about an installed library in a tuple of [cflags, ldflags, libs]
, by using the command found first in the following commands:
If --with-{pkg}-config={command}
is given via command line option: {command} {option}
{pkg}-config {option}
pkg-config {option} {pkg}
Where {option} is, for instance, --cflags
.
The values obtained are appended to +$CFLAGS+, +$LDFLAGS+ and +$libs+.
If an option
argument is given, the config command is invoked with the option and a stripped output string is returned without modifying any of the global values mentioned above.
Leaves exclusive section.
Returns true if this monitor is locked by any thread
Returns true if this monitor is locked by current thread.
Creates a new MonitorMixin::ConditionVariable
associated with the receiver.
Open3.pipeline_start
starts a list of commands as a pipeline. No pipes are created for stdin of the first command and stdout of the last command.
Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts]) {|wait_threads| ... } wait_threads = Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts]) ...
Each cmd is a string or an array. If it is an array, the elements are passed to Process.spawn
.
cmd: commandline command line string which is passed to a shell [env, commandline, opts] command line string which is passed to a shell [env, cmdname, arg1, ..., opts] command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [env, [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ..., opts] command name and arguments including argv[0] (no shell) Note that env and opts are optional, as for Process.spawn.
Example:
# Run xeyes in 10 seconds. Open3.pipeline_start("xeyes") {|ts| sleep 10 t = ts[0] Process.kill("TERM", t.pid) p t.value #=> #<Process::Status: pid 911 SIGTERM (signal 15)> } # Convert pdf to ps and send it to a printer. # Collect error message of pdftops and lpr. pdf_file = "paper.pdf" printer = "printer-name" err_r, err_w = IO.pipe Open3.pipeline_start(["pdftops", pdf_file, "-"], ["lpr", "-P#{printer}"], :err=>err_w) {|ts| err_w.close p err_r.read # error messages of pdftops and lpr. }
