From: Andrew Rousset on 15 Jul 2010 16:22 I'm working on porting up an extension from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 1.9 and there is a method on String that gets added when using the DL library named to_ptr in 1.8. In 1.9, because the DL library has changed somewhat, that method is now undefined. So, I was wondering if there is an alternative method or way around this that achieves the same result? I've printed out all the string methods using String#methods but I couldn't find any name that jumped out at me as being a good candidate. I'm pretty new to writing Ruby extensions, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

FFI has a working to_ptr it's like FFI::MemoryPointer.from_string('some string') DL isn't as cross VL portable so I'm unsure there. -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
