Returns whether or not macro is defined either in the common header files or within any headers you provide.
Any options you pass to opt are passed along to the compiler.
Returns the size of the given type. You may optionally specify additional headers to search in for the type.
If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name, in uppercase, prepended with SIZEOF_, followed by the type name, followed by =X where “X” is the actual size.
For example, if check_sizeof('mystruct') returned 12, then the SIZEOF_MYSTRUCT=12 preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
Returns the signedness of the given type. You may optionally specify additional headers to search in for the type.
If the type is found and is a numeric type, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name, in uppercase, prepended with SIGNEDNESS_OF_, followed by the type name, followed by =X where “X” is positive integer if the type is unsigned and a negative integer if the type is signed.
For example, if size_t is defined as unsigned, then check_signedness('size_t') would return +1 and the SIGNEDNESS_OF_SIZE_T=+1 preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler. The SIGNEDNESS_OF_INT=-1 macro would be set for check_signedness('int')
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.
Creates a stub Makefile.
Register the given klass to be instantiated when parsing URLs with the given scheme. Note that currently only schemes which after .upcase are valid constant names can be registered (no -/+/. allowed).
Returns a Hash of the defined schemes.
Try to activate a gem containing path. Returns true if activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated. Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
Find the full path to the executable for gem name. If the exec_name is not given, an exception will be raised, otherwise the specified executable’s path is returned. requirements allows you to specify specific gem versions.
Reset the dir and path values. The next time dir or path is requested, the values will be calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide test isolation.
The version of the Marshal format for your Ruby.
Glob pattern for require-able path suffixes.
Use the home and paths values for Gem.dir and Gem.path. Used mainly by the unit tests to provide environment isolation.
Is this a windows platform?
Is this a java platform?
Is this platform Solaris?
