I was hoping for just such pointers, thanks! I will try to get this
updated tonight.

Nice work.
A few suggestions:
- You can move the file to C:\M0\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby
\Libs.
- Use System::Environment::
System::Environment.OSVersion.Platform to detect the OS (see e.g.
Win32API.rb in Libs).
- Rather than check for the platform in every method it
might be better to define the methods differently on Windows.
Something like:
module Etc
platform = System::PlatformID
case System::Environment.OSVersion.Platform
when platform.Win32S, platform.WinCE, platform.Win32Windows,
platform.Win32NT:
def self.endgrent; end
def self.endpwent; end
def self.getgrent; end
…
else
load_assembly 'Mono.Posix'
def self.endgrent
Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.endgrent
end
def self.endpwent
Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.endpwent
end
def self.getgrent
to_group(Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.getgrent)
end
…
end
end

I've posted an initial "complete" implementation, though I have only
done basic testing. I have a couple of TODO's remaining and some
cleanup, as well as writing actual specs. I still don't have tests
running. You can find the module here: http://github.com/panesofglass/ironruby/blob/linux/Merlin/External.LCA_RESTRICTED/Languages/IronRuby/Etc/IronRuby.Libraries.Etc/etc.rb
Not the prettiest thing in the world, but I just wanted to get it
working. I definitely still have work to do.
Cheers,
Ryan Riley

Sure! Mono::Unix::Native::Passwd and Mono::Unix::Native::Group that
are returned from the Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall functions have
UInt32, System.String, and System.String[]. System.String is no
biggie, and I'm finding .to_i on a System.UInt32 is still displayed
as System.UInt32, so I suppose that's not an issue, either. MRI
displays Fixnum as the type, and I was trying to get the correct
types back from the functions. That leaves MRI's Array to Mono's
System.String[].
My current implementation is just a Ruby module wrapping calls to
the Mono functions and returning the appropriate types. Most of it
is working, though without being able to run tests easily, I'm
testing from the command line. I still need to add conditionals to
return nil if it's run on Windows. I suppose I also need to
conditionally load the Mono.Posix.dll if it's on Windows, too.
I'm about to finish the basic implementation and post to github.
(I've already got what I finished last night up there.) I also asked
Shri for a pairing session to make sure it's inline with what you're
wanting.

Can you give an example of where you need the conversions?

No conversion for Fixnums is needed (Fixnums are ints). Arrays are
harder. I would take a look at clr_ext in merlin/main/languages/ruby/
samples. Inside that file is a to_clr_array method

Where is documentation on converting between CLR and Ruby types? I
can get RubyStrings, but what about Fixnum and Array?
Thanks,
