Subject: [ruby-core:43061] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5873][Closed] Adopt FFI over DL


Issue #5873 has been updated by Aaron Patterson.

Status changed from Feedback to Closed

DL uses fiddle (with ffi) as a backend if ffi is available, so I will close this.  We can talk about embedding libraries in a different thread. :-)

Feature #5873: Adopt FFI over DL

Please adopt ffi internally in the place of dl.

I know there were many discussions about FFI and DL.
And the main problem is the libffi building issue on mswin32 and mswin64 compilers.

Now things have changed.
I forked Ruby FFI and made a modified for mswin32/64 compilers(https://github.com/phasis68/ffi)
I verified it works on Ruby 1.8.7,1.9.3 with mswin32/VC9,mswin32/VC10 and mswin64/VC10.

Regards,

Park Heesob
