Thanks Joel,

I also came across di and ffi on my search as well and was wondering what is the 
most efficient technique? or what solution is the most cleanest way to make 
calls to C/C++ code from Ruby?

If anyone is calling their C/C++ code from Ruby, I would like to hear from them 
what limitations they may was discovered on the the various methods.
