A libffi wrapper for Ruby.
Description
Fiddle is an extension to translate a foreign function interface (FFI) with ruby.
It wraps libffi, a popular C library which provides a portable interface that allows code written in one language to call code written in another language.
Example
Here we will use Fiddle::Function to wrap floor(3) from libm
require 'fiddle' libm = Fiddle.dlopen('/lib/libm.so.6') floor = Fiddle::Function.new( libm['floor'], [Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE], Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE ) puts floor.call(3.14159) #=> 3.0

Creates a new handler that opens library, and returns an instance of Fiddle::Handle.
If nil is given for the library, Fiddle::Handle::DEFAULT is used, which is the equivalent to RTLD_DEFAULT. See man 3 dlopen for more.
lib = Fiddle.dlopen(nil)
The default is dependent on OS, and provide a handle for all libraries already loaded. For example, in most cases you can use this to access libc functions, or ruby functions like rb_str_new.
See Fiddle::Handle.new for more.
VALUE
rb_fiddle_ptr2value(VALUE self, VALUE addr)
{
return (VALUE)NUM2PTR(addr);
}
Returns the Ruby object stored at the memory address addr
Example:
x = Object.new # => #<Object:0x0000000107c7d870> Fiddle.dlwrap(x) # => 4425504880 Fiddle.dlunwrap(_) # => #<Object:0x0000000107c7d870>
static VALUE
rb_fiddle_value2ptr(VALUE self, VALUE val)
{
return PTR2NUM((void*)val);
}
Returns the memory address of the Ruby object stored at val
Example:
x = Object.new # => #<Object:0x0000000107c7d870> Fiddle.dlwrap(x) # => 4425504880
In the case val is not a heap allocated object, this method will return the tagged pointer value.
Example:
Fiddle.dlwrap(123) # => 247
VALUE
rb_fiddle_free(VALUE self, VALUE addr)
{
void *ptr = NUM2PTR(addr);
ruby_xfree(ptr);
return Qnil;
}
Free the memory at address addr

def self.last_error
Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_LAST_ERROR__]
end
Returns the last Error of the current executing Thread or nil if none
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-master/ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle.rb, line 40
def self.last_error= error
Thread.current[:__DL2_LAST_ERROR__] = error
Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_LAST_ERROR__] = error
end
Sets the last Error of the current executing Thread to error
static VALUE
rb_fiddle_malloc(VALUE self, VALUE size)
{
void *ptr;
ptr = (void*)ruby_xcalloc(1, NUM2SIZET(size));
return PTR2NUM(ptr);
}
Allocate size bytes of memory and return the integer memory address for the allocated memory.
static VALUE
rb_fiddle_realloc(VALUE self, VALUE addr, VALUE size)
{
void *ptr = NUM2PTR(addr);
ptr = (void*)ruby_xrealloc(ptr, NUM2SIZET(size));
return PTR2NUM(ptr);
}
Change the size of the memory allocated at the memory location addr to size bytes. Returns the memory address of the reallocated memory, which may be different than the address passed in.

def self.win32_last_error
Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_WIN32_LAST_ERROR__]

def self.win32_last_error= error
Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_WIN32_LAST_ERROR__] = error

def self.win32_last_socket_error
Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_WIN32_LAST_SOCKET_ERROR__]
