20:31 <mustmodify> You may ban me for this, but I'm here with a non-rubinius question... the question is "How does it do that?" https://github.com/mieko/rbclipper so this guy has some cpp files and the instructions say, "require 'clipper'.... blah blah stuff in ruby... " and it works. Could someone explain to me how we get from "require 'clipper' " to "hey look ma, C"

20:31 <mustmodify> because it seems like that would be super-helpful to know.

20:32 <mustmodify> I see ext/clipper/rbclipper.cpp which I'm guessing is the main entry point.

20:34 <|jemc|> mustmodify: try googling 'ruby c extension' - there's lots of reading material out there on the subject

20:34 <mustmodify> ok. Mind blown.

20:37 <|jemc|> just be warned that C extensions have spotty support on Rubinius and JRuby because the C API is often ill-defined and ill-specified

20:37 <mustmodify> blah.

20:37 <|jemc|> the recommended way to interact with C code is via FFI instead of as a C extension

20:37 <|jemc|> google "ruby FFI"

20:38 <|jemc|> basically, rather than compiling an extension library that depends on Ruby, FFI lets you call arbitrary C library calls from Ruby

20:38 <|jemc|> that includes libraries you build as well as existing C libraries
