Almost. You lose backtraces right now, but that is a temporary tradeoff; eventually MacRuby will be able to give backtraces for pre-compiled code. Also, there is the auto_compile command in the plugin that automatically compiles gems as you install them. > > anybody working on a generic (system-wide or per-user or configurable?) cache > of arbitrary .rb -> .rbo similar to how rubyinline works, where llvm > intermediaries being built are automatically cached and invalidated when the > associated/underlying .rb changes? > > i would be interested to help if somebody is already in-flight with that, or > take a stab it if nobody is -- lmk pls. That sounds interesting and potentially very useful, but not too difficult to do. Unfortunately I am already in the middle of too many different projects so I wouldn't be able to help much. :( > > thx, n@ > Good luck, Mark Rada mr...@marketcircle.com > On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Mark Rada <mr...@marketcircle.com> wrote: > Rspec 2.6 works on the macruby nightly builds. > > Load times are partly due to rubygems being very slow on MacRuby and rspec > being split into 4 gems (plus one other external gem). > > The other problem is that you have to JIT all the code at run time; you > should be able to cut the load time in half by compiling rspec and its > dependencies, but that has a couple of caveats right now, you can read more > about it in the README for my rubygems plugin: > > https://github.com/ferrous26/rubygems-compile > > Also, there are a couple of issues in the macruby trac related to slow gem > loading time.
