Hello Robert,

I think maybe there is a problem with your installation of ruby or gcc?

I just built ruby from sources on RedHat 8.0, gcc version 3.2 20020903 then copy and pasted your code.

I had to change test.rb
  dlload 'test.so'
to
  dlload '/home/machine/test/test.so'

but once I'd done that it compiled and ran fine:

[user@machine test]$ ruby test.rb
Hello!
1
3
[user@machine test]$ echo $?
0
[user@machine test]$

I have just noticed that you are using cygwin - maybe the problem is there?

Hope this helps,

Jon

Hi,

I'm trying out ruby-dl and it looks great. However,
I get a seg fault when calling funcs that take parameters.
Anyone can spot the problem?

Here's a transcript showing what I did:

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

extern void hello()
{
  printf("Hello!\n");
}

extern int one()
{
  return 1;
}

extern int inc(int n)
{
  return (n+1);
}

feldt@novomundo1 /tmp/using_ruby_dl/test
$ gcc -shared -o test.so test.c

feldt@novomundo1 /tmp/using_ruby_dl/test
$ cat test.rb
require 'dl/import'
module Test
  extend DL::Importable
  dlload 'test.so'

  extern "void hello()"
  extern "int one()"
  extern "int inc(int)"
end
Test.hello
p Test.one
p Test.inc(2)

feldt@novomundo1 /tmp/using_ruby_dl/test
$ ruby test.rb
Hello!
1
(eval):5: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-09-06) [i386-cygwin]

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Regards,

Robert Feldt
