Subject: [ruby-core:31800] [Backport #3727] rb_f_require_relative not included in Ruby API

Backport #3727: rb_f_require_relative not included in Ruby API
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3727

Author: Jeff Shantz
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

Now that Ruby no longer includes the current directory in $: as of Ruby 1.9.2, those of us using the C API cannot use rb_require() to require a file in the same directory as our native code without adding the current directory to $:.

However, since this is not a good practice, we should be able to access rb_f_require_relative() from the C API.  Unfortunately, this function is defined in load.c, but is not available in any files within /usr/local/include/ruby.

I believe this function, or perhaps a function named rb_require_relative() (to be consistent with the C API naming conventions) should be added to ruby.h.  

My apologies if there is something that I have missed.
