Subject: {ANN] RDoc now handles C extensions


RDoc is a Javadoc-alike documentation system for Ruby source (and C
extensions for Ruby :).

The latest CVS contains experimental support for parsing class,
module, and method definitions from .c files, integrating the result
with the rest of the RDoc output. It also extracts the comment block
of the C method that implements a Ruby method, using that as the
documentation it displays. There's an example at
http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html (c_parse describes how .c
files are handled, and error.c shows the class diagram of exceptions,
generated from the interpreter source).

This is very much a work in progress, but I'd appreciate feedback from
extension writers.


Cheers


Dave
