base on Ruby FFI # Ruby-FFI https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki ## Description Ruby-FFI is a gem for programmatically loading dynamically-linked native libraries, binding functions within them, and calling those functions from Ruby code. Moreover, a Ruby-FFI extension works without changes on CRuby (MRI), JRuby, Rubinius and TruffleRuby. [Discover why you should write your next extension using Ruby-FFI](https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki/why-use-ffi). ## Features * Intuitive DSL * Supports all C native types * C structs (also nested), enums and global variables * Callbacks from C to Ruby * Automatic garbage collection of native memory * Usable in Ractor: [How-to-use-FFI-in-Ruby-Ractors](https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki/Ractors) ## Synopsis ```ruby require 'ffi' module MyLib extend FFI::Library ffi_lib 'c' attach_function :puts, [ :string ], :int end MyLib.puts 'Hello, World using libc!' ``` For less minimalistic and more examples you may look at: * The [documentation](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ffi) * the `samples/` folder * the examples on the [wiki](https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki) * the projects using FFI listed on the wiki: https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki/projects-using-ffi ## Requirements When installing the gem on CRuby (MRI), you will need: * A C compiler (e.g., Xcode on macOS, `gcc` or `clang` on everything else) Optionally (speeds up installation): * The `libffi` library and development headers - this is commonly in the `libffi-dev` or `libffi-devel` packages The ffi gem comes with a builtin libffi version, which is used, when the system libffi library is not available or too old. Use of the system libffi can be enforced by: ``` gem install ffi -- --enable-system-libffi # to install the gem manually bundle config build.ffi --enable-system-libffi # for bundle install ``` or prevented by `--disable-system-libffi`. On Linux systems running with [PaX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PaX) (Gentoo, Alpine, etc.), FFI may trigger `mprotect` errors. You may need to disable [mprotect](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grsecurity/Appendix/Grsecurity_and_PaX_Configuration_Options#Restrict_mprotect.28.29) for ruby (`paxctl -m [/path/to/ruby]`) for the time being until a solution is found. On FreeBSD systems pkgconf must be installed for the gem to be able to compile using clang. Install either via packages `pkg install pkgconf` or from ports via `devel/pkgconf`. On JRuby and TruffleRuby, there are no requirements to install the FFI gem, and `require 'ffi'` works even without installing the gem (i.e., the gem is preinstalled on these implementations). ## Installation From rubygems: [sudo] gem install ffi From a Gemfile using git or GitHub gem 'ffi', github: 'ffi/ffi', submodules: true or from the git repository on github: git clone git://github.com/ffi/ffi.git cd ffi git submodule update --init --recursive bundle install rake install ### Install options: * `--enable-system-libffi` : Force usage of system libffi * `--disable-system-libffi` : Force usage of builtin libffi * `--enable-libffi-alloc` : Force closure allocation by libffi * `--disable-libffi-alloc` : Force closure allocation by builtin method ## License The ffi library is covered by the BSD license, also see the LICENSE file. The specs are covered by the same license as [ruby/spec](https://github.com/ruby/spec), the MIT license. ## Credits The following people have submitted code, bug reports, or otherwise contributed to the success of this project: * Alban Peignier <[email protected]> * Aman Gupta <[email protected]> * Andrea Fazzi <[email protected]> * Andreas Niederl <[email protected]> * Andrew Cholakian <[email protected]> * Antonio Terceiro <[email protected]> * Benoit Daloze <[email protected]> * Brian Candler <[email protected]> * Brian D.
