Subject: ruby_run() w/o exit?


c extending rubyists-

i peeked through ruby.h a little, and of course the pickaxe, but there does
not seem to be a function similar to ruby_run() which does not cause the
calling process to exit().  of course, one can use rb_eval_string(), etc...

what would the best way to repeatedly call the interpreter?  is this possible
to do without accumulating global objects/contstants/etc.  i feel like i may
be missing some fundemental concept here but i've only written one small
extension, and only example programs which embed the interpreter,  so my
c<->ruby experience is limited...

thanks in advance.
