This blog post shows how to manually do what Swig is doing for us: represent a C struct as something Ruby can touch, with hooks to release memory when GC runs on the Ruby wrapper. But, sadly, it's not showing what we need, which is how to assign a reference to a Ruby object to a C struct and then have Ruby not GC that Ruby object. -- Darryl L.
