Hi, I would like to point to interesting library for C extension to ruby. short: just look at https://github.com/ffi/ffi how you can do quick and easy C bindings from ruby code ( so no C code needed ). For C++ you should look at https://github.com/jasonroelofs/rbplusplus long story: We discussing on lunch about various quality of C bindings ( hating perl C bindings :) ) and we remembered that duncan do something with it, but I cannot remember more details. Martin think that FFI is about making C api better but need to write in C. So I look into it how it works and are quite surprised that 1) you write it in ruby 2) is really straight forward 3) doesn't work well C++ ( let me fix it if I understand it wrong ). But I found that exists also library for it rb++ https://github.com/jasonroelofs/rbplusplus I think it is much better option then generating interface with Swig which is quite buggy and limited, especially for complex C++ and resul is not nice ( often object hierarchy is broken ).
