It depends whether the method is supposed to invoke Digest's methods dynamically or not. Does pkcs5_keyivgen method accept any Ruby object that implements the methods pkcs5_keyivgen calls? Or does it need to be an instance of Digest class? If the former is true than you need to use "object" as the parameter type and use dynamic call sites to invoke those methods. An example of such dynamic behavior would be MutableStringOps.Compare. If the latter is true you can just type the parameter to Digest CLR type and call its methods directly.

I read the 'Modifying the sources' github page and it mentions using CallSiteStorage to call into Ruby code. Specifically, the Cipher ruby class has a dependency on the Digest ruby classes for the pkcs5_keyivgen method. An optional parameter for this method is an instance of the Ruby class Digest::Base. How would the type look, maybe Digest.Digest.Base digest/*optional*/? Or would it be an object and I'd also need to pass in CallSiteStorage to call methods on the object? An example in the standard library of such behavior would be much appreciated, thanks for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
