Hi guys.
So, anyone who have looked at our code knows that an annoying part of
the setup of each Ruby class is a long list of CallbackFactory calls.
Brixen of Rubinius just showed me part of their FFI, which would make
total sense for our purposes. What the example looks like is this:
s = Compression::ZLib.deflate("test")
Compression::ZLib.inflate(s)
module F
attach_function nil, "compress_inflate", :inflate, [:state, :string], :object
end
F.inflate(nil, s)
In our case, we could have a part of Kernel look like this:
module Kernel
attach_method "org.jruby.RubyKernel", "new_array", :Array, [:object]
attach_method "org.jruby.RubyKernel", "new_float", :Float, [:object]
end
I think that would be much better than our current solution, and also
easier for third party extension developers.
Cheers
