From: Axel Etzold Date: 2008-10-29T05:00:35+09:00 Subject: Re: automatic code conversion from Ruby to C ? Dear Florian, Brian, Robert and Mohit, thank you all for your responses. Actually, choosing what the code I'll have to deliver is written in has to be C/C++, since the customers here want something they can feed into gcc and understand when they read it. I am not absolutely sure, but I don't think they know Ruby very well and probably aren't willing to consider its use in this problem, because of the speed issue. I was just wondering whether there'd be some tool that would translate some of my Ruby code into C/C++ to speed up the development process. I looked at RubyToC and at cplus2ruby, but it seems that I'd spend almost as much time writing C from scratch as editing the translated code. (This might be due to the fact that I couldn't find more documentation than the examples provided, and there doesn't seem to be a way of translating Ruby's Hashes to C or its IO routines etc... with these softwares). Please correct me if the above isn't true .... Thank you very much again! Best regards, Axel -- "Feel free" - 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS/Monat ...
