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.
Regexp
for require-able path suffixes.
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 an estimate of the resolution of a clock_id
using the POSIX clock_getres()
function.
Note the reported resolution is often inaccurate on most platforms due to underlying bugs for this function and therefore the reported resolution often differs from the actual resolution of the clock in practice. Inaccurate reported resolutions have been observed for various clocks including CLOCK_MONOTONIC
and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
when using Linux, macOS, BSD or AIX platforms, when using ARM processors, or when using virtualization.
clock_id
specifies a kind of clock. See the document of Process.clock_gettime
for details. clock_id
can be a symbol as for Process.clock_gettime
.
If the given clock_id
is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.
unit
specifies the type of the return value. Process.clock_getres
accepts unit
as Process.clock_gettime
. The default value, :float_second
, is also the same as Process.clock_gettime
.
Process.clock_getres
also accepts :hertz
as unit
. :hertz
means the reciprocal of :float_second
.
:hertz
can be used to obtain the exact value of the clock ticks per second for the times() function and CLOCKS_PER_SEC for the 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
Convert internal ID of token symbol to the string.
Creates a new Socket::Option
object for IP_MULTICAST_TTL.
The size is dependent on the platform.
p Socket::Option.ipv4_multicast_ttl(10) #=> #<Socket::Option: INET IP MULTICAST_TTL 10>
Returns the ipv4_multicast_ttl
data in sockopt as an integer.
sockopt = Socket::Option.ipv4_multicast_ttl(10) p sockopt.ipv4_multicast_ttl => 10
Creates a new Socket::Option
object for IP_MULTICAST_LOOP.
The size is dependent on the platform.
sockopt = Socket::Option.int(:INET, :IPPROTO_IP, :IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, 1) p sockopt.int => 1 p Socket::Option.ipv4_multicast_loop(10) #=> #<Socket::Option: INET IP MULTICAST_LOOP 10>
Returns the ipv4_multicast_loop
data in sockopt as an integer.
sockopt = Socket::Option.ipv4_multicast_loop(10) p sockopt.ipv4_multicast_loop => 10
