Subject: Class contants in extensions

Hi all,

I want to create a module with some constants that can then be accessed as Class 
methods.

e.g.

#/usr/bin/ruby

require 'test'

puts Test.Test_constant

Where 'Test_constant' is a readable constant.

The .c file I think would look something like:

#include "ruby.h"

void Init_test()
{
   tClass = rb_define_class("Test",rb_cObject);

   tString = rb_str_new2("Hello");
   rb_define_const(tClass,"Test_constant",tString);

   rb_cv_set(tClass,"@@Test_constant",tString);
   rb_define_attr(tClass,"Test_constant",1,0);
}

But this doesn't work.  I'm sure this is easy - I'm clearly foggy today.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Dan
